Polygon is a protocol and a framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. It is the choice among developers and users because of its extremely low gas fees, with transaction fees cheaper than $0.001 and rapid transaction speeds.
The minted &id will be available for users once the transaction is completed on the platform. However, it is important to understand the basic guidelines of setting up the Polygon network on Metamask. Let’s look at the steps for setting up the Polygon network on Metamask.
