    The document describes the architecture of Polygon Networks, which consists of a constellation of sovereign blockchain networks. Each network serves its respective community, maintaining functions like transaction collation, local consensus, and block production. The execution layer interprets and executes agreed upon transactions included in the blockchains, consisting of an execution environment and execution logic written as Ethereum smart contracts. A brief comparison shows Polygon offers Ethereum compatibility, scalability, security, sovereignty, interoperability, and user/developer experience advantages over alternatives like sidechains, sharding, Quorum, Cosmos, and Polkadot.

    Polygon Networks Layer Execution layer


    A constellation of sovereign blockchain networks. This layer interprets and executes transactions that
    Each of the networks serves its respective community, are agreed upon and included in Polygon networks'
    maintaining functions like: blockchains. It consists of two sublayers:

    Transaction Collation Execution environment


    pluggable virtual machine implementation
    Local Consensus

    Block Production Execution logic


    state transition function of a specific Polygon network,
    normally written as Ethe reum smart contracts
