  Polygon (MATIC) is considered a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum (ETH) because it provides a way to offload transactions from the Ethereum mainnet to a secondary network. This helps to alleviate congestion and reduce transaction fees on the mainnet. By using Polygon, users can enjoy faster and cheaper transactions while still benefiting from the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network.
