This is a collection of free, high-quality resources for learning and building blockchain applications on Polygon. In this toolkit, you will find a range of educational resources for Polygon PoS and subsequent services (eg. PolygonID, zkEVM, etc) as well as links to various resources such as grants programs, tools, and eventually marketplaces. All of these resources are designed to help you succeed in the exciting and rapidly-growing field of web3 and blockchain development.

Curated by Matt Krak, inspired by Nader Dabit’s original web3 developer resource page. Like the original post, this is not comprehensive of the entire Polygon ecosystem and is instead meant to get you up and running as quickly and easily as possible without becoming overwhelmed with the countless resources available.
