* **Transaction speeds** - Polygon’s network can handle nearly 70,000 transactions per second (TPS). For context, Visa’s TPS is 24,000.
* **Gas Fees** - This can change depending on congestion, but generally, their gas fees are <$0.01 and can be free.&#x20;
* **Builder ecosystem** - With over 37k decentralized applications (dapps) and partnerships with Reddit, Nike, Adidas, NFL, Stripe, Adobe, and many more, it’s clear they are committed to creating a platform utilized by all.&#x20;
* **Sustainability** - Lastly, we are committed to sustainability and look to partner with others who feel it's time for action. Polygon is as committed as we’ve seen and laid it out in their Green Manifesto. Polygon is eliminating the network’s carbon debt going back to inception and then going carbon negative in 2022.
