Polygon Market
Aave's first exploration of New Frontiers is Polygon (formerly known as MATIC). A scalable sidechain of Ethereum that allows fast and nearly-free transactions, with a nascent ecosystem of applications such as community favourite Aavegotchi, decentralised exchange Quickswap as well as Chainlink oracles.
Nearly a hundred validators secure Polygon's Proof-of-Stake algorithm with back ups every 30 minutes on the Ethereum blockchain.

As the Polygon Market has been launched recently, it is currently controlled by a multisig until a specific governance bridge for Polygon is built. The multisig follows the same security practices implemented during the governance transition period for Aave V1 and V2.
