Polygon's a pretty good chain, but I have had issues with it before with essentially a traffic jam where my tx got locked up in a queue and took 30 minutes to process. But it's nice to be able to use the chain and it is quite cheap.
Arbitrum is pretty expensive per tx still though right? I haven't used the chain too much because the native bridge takes about a week to get funds over IIRC.
And Solana's only been down for a day like once I believe.

- diveanon 5y agoPolygon has become my go to chain over the last 6 months. Even during yesterday’s crash I was able to execute trades at reasonable gas prices (<$1). I’ve developed a couple of dapps that run on polygon, and while the docs could use some love the overall experience was pretty frictionless. Crypto.com now supports deposit/withdraw directly to polygon making it possible to skip ETH altogether. For bridging I recommend Relay if you are setting up on a new chain for the first time, then xpollinate for later transfers of just stables. Fees are super low to go from L2 to L2 these days. Rabby is a really nice web wallet the replaces metamask and supports all the L2 chains by default, built by the guys at debank.
- shiohime 5y agoYeah polygon does seem like a nice chain to develop for, I'm assuming the same frontend packages like ethers.js / web3 work seamlessly since it's EVM? The thing I like about working in the Ethereum ecosystem is it is more mature as a whole despite the scalability issues, and there are some very cool projects out there. If you are looking for other bridges too I recommend checking out Synapse, they let you bridge between a good number of EVM chains and I haven't had any issues with them at all.
