In this video learn about what the Polygon blockchain is, why it was created, and if it's the right chain for you. Learn about the Polygon ecosystem and their selection of chains available to build on. We show you how to get testnet funds from a faucet for Polygon Amoy and Polygon zkEVM testnet, along with learning how to deploy an ERC-20 smart contract using thirdweb's pre-built contracts.
