Matic Network is a layer 2 scaling solution that uses an adapted version of Plasma to provide faster and cheaper transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. It is much cheaper than the Moonbeam Network, which is a parachain built on Substrate that allows developers to easily deploy Ethereum smart contracts. Matic is also much cheaper than Ethereum, which is the most expensive blockchain network in terms of transaction costs. Matic Network provides a fast and affordable way to send transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, making it an attractive choice for developers who want to build on the Ethereum network.
