Polygon (formerly Matic) is one of the most established EVM sidechains, with thousands of DeFi protocols and millions of active users. It's known for extremely low gas fees — often under $0.01 per transaction.
Why Polygon?
- Near-zero gas: Deploying a token costs fractions of a cent in gas
- Massive ecosystem: QuickSwap, SushiSwap, Aave, Balancer, and more
- Wide wallet support: Every EVM wallet works with Polygon
- Proven track record: Running since 2020 with consistent uptime
Deploy on Polygon with EVMint
- Visit evmint.io/create and connect your wallet
- Switch to Polygon (chain ID 137) and make sure you have POL tokens

Adding Liquidity
Polygon has two main V2-style DEXes:
- QuickSwap — the largest DEX on Polygon
- SushiSwap — cross-chain DEX with strong Polygon presence
EVMint automatically routes to QuickSwap for liquidity pool creation.
Getting POL Tokens
If you have ETH on Ethereum, use the Polygon Bridge (portal.polygon.technology) to move funds. Or buy POL directly on any major exchange and withdraw to your Polygon wallet.
