1:00 Matic Network designed to scale Ethereum, improve the usability, reduce transaction fees, while not compromising on decentralization
Utilizes Proof-of-Stake side chains to horizontally scale Ethereum
The theoretical capacity of millions of TPS by building out more sidechains

1:09 What it Does

Critical for the new inter-chain world
But we will always need a reliable Layer 1

2:04 How it Plays
Seeks to scale Ethereum horizontally through Layer 2 side chains
Problem:
Blockchain bloat caused by each node having to keep the entire history of the blockchain

3:00 Solution:
Creates layer 2 side chains that submit snapshots of its state to the primary layer at periodic checkpoints. Proof-of-Stake Consensus - Validators rewarded for publishing summaries of block transactions to Ethereum. These summaries are the checkpoints
Ethereum like Supreme Court, side chains like lower courts. Don’t need
Creates a layer 2 side chains that submit snapshots of its state to primary layer at periodic checkpoints. Proof-of-Stake Consensus - Validators rewarded for publishing summaries of block transactions to Ethereum. These summaries are the checkpoints.
scale Primary layer only needs to store data from the previous checkpoint.
