Polygon Architecture and Key Concepts
Polygon · Chapter 3
Polygon Architecture and Key Concepts
Polygon PoS executes contracts using the Ethereum Virtual Machine, or EVM. Think of it as a shared set of execution rules, so computers agree on what each instruction does.
The basics
- An account has an address. A user account authorizes transactions using keys; a contract account runs code when called.
- Gas measures execution work. The fee pays for that work; it is not a transfer to the contract author.
- Polygon PoS has its own balances and contract deployments. Amoy uses chain ID 80002; changing networks does not move assets between them.
Try it yourself
Explain the difference between an address, a contract and a transaction to a friend using a shared counter as your example.
