# Building on Polygon

Why are we building on the Polygon Network?

Crunch Network is built on Polygon because it offers a fast, secure, and low-cost infrastructure for decentralized applications.

Using Polygon's Layer 2 scaling solution, we can provide our users with a seamless experience while also reducing gas fees and transaction times.&#x20;

Additionally, being on the Polygon network allows us to tap into its growing ecosystem of dApps, machines, and exchanges with token balances that can use the Crunch protocol as a source of monetization and incremental returns.
