Infura x Truffle Now Support Polygon

ConsenSys‘ leading developer tools, Infura and Truffle, now support Polygon with boilerplate application tooling, API access, and customer service for applications using the Polygon PoS chain.

Infura and Truffle announced support for the innovative Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) Ethereum sidechain. Polygon (formerly Matic) has seen enormous growth over the past six months, with $4.4 billion in ETH now locked in the Polygon PoS bridge for moving funds between Ethereum and Polygon PoS.

Polygon PoS’ mainnet is a hybrid Plasma Proof-of-Stake commitchain to the Ethereum mainnet, which consists of a Tendermint consensus validator layer and a Plasma sidechain for block production. The average cost for a transaction on Polygon (in $MATIC) is currently $0.0000371, saving Ethereum users on fees for swapping ERC-20 tokens. The network maintains its own security through $MATIC validators. In order to scale up support for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible networks, ConsenSys will be providing a range of developer support for applications and protocols using the Polygon PoS chain.

Jaynti Kanani, Co-Founder, Polygon said, “We are excited to work with ConsenSys’ Infura and Truffle teams to bring additional value to the Polygon ecosystem with a Polygon network API and a dedicated Polygon Truffle Box. This will allow dapps to increase reliability and performance and achieve faster time to market in the Polygon ecosystem.”

Mike Godsey, GM and Head of Product at Infura said, “At Infura, we are committed to simplifying the lives of developers. It is clear that the developer demand for scaling solutions that work directly with Ethereum is here and growing. Polygon PoS is a thriving solution that we are thrilled to be supporting as it adds a ton of value to the community of developers building with our tools.”
