Which blockchain has better block speed, lower cost, higher security and better road for scaling up (network running smoothly with more and more dapps being created on it)?

Solana is better than polygon in term of block speet, transaction cost, security and hype.
As far as i know SOL has more than 1k TPS while polygon has only less than 100 TPS. You can see there's a big gap between both in term of technical specification.

SOL has been getting more and more demand too compared with the polygon. You can see how impressive the pump that happened with SOL. that proves if SOL was more reliable compared with Polygon as the second layer solution of ethereum. It's not comparable with SOL blockchain.

Just keep in mind that if you're asking this with investment in mind, their supply must be counted too. Some of them still has a lot of unlocked supply which might dilute the market and cause some sell pressure. If you decide to buy then make sure to do it after the unlock is finished and make some preparations for the next unlock period. It applies to other tokens too though, not exclusive to Polygon or Solana.

Personally I am used to working on Polygon rather than on Solana and I can say that it is a really good network with fees less than one cent and transactions even with minimum fees don’t take more than one minute, so I am totally satisfied with it. But actually, we shouldn’t compare these two platforms, as Polygon is a layer 2 solution for Ethereum and Solana is an independent blockchain.

It seems that just more people are coming into the crypto space, and they are looking for alternatives for ETH with its ridiculous gas fees. It's not that good when it comes to practicality. It has always been the problem with scalability with cryptocurrencies, and I think with the two coins you mentioned, here are some improvements toward what has worked.

So I'm in favor of SOL because of its advancement with block time. It's proof of history. It's made for scaling.

If you are asking which to invest I think I would go for the cheaper Polygon as they do have more tokens available in their network than in Solana. Polygon's chart also looks more perfect for investing than the chart of SOL.

I'm not very knowledgeable however of both tech details so if they say TPS of SOL is more than what Matic can do, then good for SOL but as far as I know, Polygon had been around longer than Solana.

NEAR protocol has horizontal sharding and infinite TPS with 2 second finality. It's account based and easy to use (no metamask required). It even has an L2 for appchains like polkadot and it can run Ethereum DApps in it's EVM contract Aurora, which accepts ETH to pay for gas natively and has the only 100% trustless bridge in crypto. You can already trade and yield farm on NEAR protocol on Ref Finance and more DeFi is being added every day.

In my perspective, there is the diferrent between polygon and solana.

Solana is an L1 chain whereas Polygon is an L2 chain built on ETH L1. They have different consensus mechanisms.

Both are very fast and cheap to transact. Both are EVM compatible.

I perfer solana over polygon. Defi on polygon was starting to face another trouble since people are moving their assets to the another new blockchain like solana. There are lots of new defi introduced on solana protocol on daily basis. Solana has a very cheap fees compared with polygon. The community was very active and it has its own ecosystem just like BSC although it used its own protocol with different hash unlike polygon that being compliant with ethereum and people interested to adop solana blockchain. A few days ago we have seen solana blockchain was stopping for a while due to the nodes faced a problem caused by the massive transactions in the network that needs to be confirmed at the same time. This means if people are also moving to the solana to avoid the expensive blockchain called ethereum. This is another solution to ethereum blockchain.
The adoption of solana will be massive in the future. It has various wallet like phantom which was better than metamask.

Polygon has a ticking time bomb on its exsustance, Solana is centralised and can sinoly shut down as we have seen. Rather check out Harmony ONE, it is like buying Cardano for mere cents, except Harmony ONE is like a finished Cardano and more tech and product wise.

Solana has been getting the most buzz lately. A few months ago was the trending blockchain network. Solana has large institutional backing and this a major reason why they have been growing much faster than their competitors. I do agree that Solana is too centralized but this also enables them to have lower fees and faster speeds. DeFi users seem to prefer usability over decentralization so I expect Solana to continue to have an edge over Polygon.

Both of them it's good but i prefer Solana, It's offering higher TPS (50-60k) comparing to Polygon (6-7k), For the transaction time there is not really mcuh different but beside that comparing to Polygon, Solana it's little bit hard to understand for the first time while on the other side Polygon it's just better version of Ethereum so you can easily understand the concept if you are using ethereum before especially their Smart-Contract and can easily bridging throug Ethereum network too but if your priority is the features then Solana it's much better.

Solana is superior to the whole thing you mentioned. I haven't even seen dapps like DeFi that's in polygon. However, solona first attracted attention with many communities, as well as successful events there, many tokens from the solana blockchain were successful to become investment coins.

Both have advantages and disadvantages and if you want to compare both projects, you can visit each website and read the difference.
If you want to select which project can be used for your investment, I suggest you buy Polygon as the price is still low but you can also buy Sol but the price already reaches the highest price.
I do not know many details about the project but I think Polygon or Solana can be your investment by holding for some time.
With $100, you can buy many Polygon or buying less than 1 Solana with that money so that you can decide by yourself.

What do you say?  you tell them to wait for all of them to open, you are crazy huh, you have to know how long it is open while we need a network now, we can't wait if it goes on for decades, you should make a new period for comparison.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but if really comparing Sol (layer 1) versus Polygon (Layer 2) is just lame, it's more different for the complex technical factors associated with conformance union of each series.  Before Sol was noticed by the big hedge funds, Polygon was a big growth model for dapps that were suitable for both defi and nfts.

Dapp on polygon is very rich and diverse.

A ticking time bomb on its existence?, can you elaborate, please.

Right now, some of the biggest blockchain games are on Polygon, next to Ethereum of course (and Ronin for Axie Infinity). Solana is also destined to become a blockchain game platform as well. There's a game which has received several million in funding, Star Atlas, already selling NFTs for gameplay on the Solana blockchain -- even though the game hasn't been launched yet.

I've tried both for transaction fees of course Solana is better because it's cheaper than Polygon, but for speed nothing beats Polygon, both are good coins and have long-term prospects so we deserve to choose, for the portion of course I prefer 70% for Solana and 30% for polygon.

There are very few projects in Solana yet, low liquidity and fraudulent hackers have not yet explored the system.
If you want to experiment, it is better to use Ethereum Level 2 solutions or Binance Smartchain.
But you need to understand that money can be lost in case of errors in smart contracts or due to their hacking. Therefore, you need to be very careful not to contribute large sums to new projects. Smart contracts are written by people and they are not always perfect.

I think both network are okay. But solana is on different caliber and has advanced way too big compared to polygon. I am not saying matic isnt good but in terms of usage, I think there are too many solanians that outweight matic. But recently, solana had a very bad downfall since theit network stopped. So there still some negative point of view on their part. But for me both network are all good for investment.

I think you can not compare those 2 projects directly because they are two different things. Solana is a completely new and different blockchain then ethereum and has nothing to do with ETH at all. Polygon is a layer 2 solution which is built upon Ethereum in order to increase the transaction speed and to reduce the hefty fees of ETH. Both blockchain have transaction fees that are only fractions of a dollar at the moment so i think they are on par in that regard. Polygon can access the Ethereum virtual machine which means that Ethereum smart contracts are running on the polygon network also so here you have the full functionality of the ETH chain with lower fees.

I think Solana has a faster speed, but currently I rarely or never transact on the polygon network, because most of it is on the erc, bsc, and solana networks.
maybe if there are more polygons in the future, more polygons will be used.

For those who are used to working with the Ethereum blockchain, Polygon becomes more acceptable. This is very convenient in many cases, since the wallet number in these blockchains is kept the same and they are both integrated into MetaMask. But at the moment, Polygon lacks hype and this can be seen in the Polygon ecosystem, which is significantly inferior to Solana.

The bolded part is the most important thing I need to know, which I have researched about for awhile now without success... though I'd still need to verify whether it's true or not .  If it's actually centralized, it shouldn't be in thesame league with the decentralized Blockchains because developing a true crypto project without compromising on Blockchain standards like decentralization is what matters. If they compromised on standards, they are no better than those who didn't compromise but are yet to succeed.

To be honest, I will give it to Truely Decentralized cryptocurrencies that did succeed without compromising on standards

that's why they need to upgrade to version 2, so that the things you fear don't happen again.  it can affect their network image in the future, they must move quickly and precisely, so that there is a solution in the future and it doesn't happen again.

I think, one major aspect to consider is their popularity of usage. Because a lot of networks are offering better services or features, and yet, they still fail. It is because, they failed to attract users/developers that will utilize their network. So no matter how good your network is, if no one will use it, still your business will not thrive. Just for an example, how many projects have attempted to overthrow bitcoin with over the edge features, and yet, they didn't succeed.

I think Solana is better than polygon in term of block spent, transaction cost, security and hype. ;)

Interesting topic... I am thinking to buy Polygon for some time, but something always stops me! I saw similar discussions on other places, which one is better Polygon or Solana, or to skip investing in them and simply buy ETH... but I don't wish to go back to Ethereum!

I see people here are divided, some prefer Polygon some Solana! I guess the best for us who are starting with these two should diversify and buy both! And that's what I am going to do probably...

Instead of trying to analyze which is better, we both find Polygon and Solana good. 
So I think both deserve to be in the long-term investment portfolio, but for now I will not prioritize them and choose another coin. Profit is important to me and at this moment the opportunity is very easy.

I think Solana.  :)

In my opinion Solana is superior to Polygon, it can be said that almost all features won by Solana such as transaction fees, speed and so on, this is what makes many large projects currently use the Solana platform so that the daily transaction volume continues to increase and now reaches more than $4 billion per day.

The same scenario is with MATIC, where large projects are also being developed. I think the price of a token just shows whether it is good or not.

well I heard solana is a lot more centralized so that could be a huge downside. But as far as growth for investment purposes Matic is a lot lower in mktcap and can give you higher returns. I would buy both though.

In my opinion, Solana is superior to Polygon not because of who is cheaper, but Solana is more advanced with block time even though many use the Polygon network because of cheaper transaction fees. In terms of speed, Ethereum is better, but because gas costs are too high, many projects are switching to other things.

obviously Solana because of low fees, fast transactions. I personally prefer Solana as new NFTs project based on Solana and makes us rich. the new upcoming project on Solana is foxville NFTs best one i must say play and earn sol through foxville game and the most interesting part is the game is in metaverse supports VR/AR and many more features like staking or governance do check by yourself it's really amazing.

Ever since the bug that happened recently to polygon's plasma bridge, I have been always skeptical to that network. Lots of bugs are also happening here and there to it which is why I choose Sol over it. The two however is in par with each other. Their low cost network fee is quite good compare to mainstream Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain. I just hope they could sustain it once more project commenced in these two chain.

I am not sure if most people will think about more details about Polygon and Solana as many of them only think about the money they can make between both projects. But as explained above me, Solana seems better than Polygon but those two projects still compete and trying to get more investors to them.

But if you only think about the investment and do not have much money, Polygon will be better for you because the price is still at a low price. In comparison, Solana has risen higher and makes some people unable to buy a lot of Solana.

Yeah, but while tings happening in L2 are cheap, you still need to transfer stuff between L1<->L2 at some point and that makes it more expensive then SOL. While you can't compare these two because their goals are so very different; Imho polygon has effed up their pompous goals by building it to L2. SOL has a brighter future until eth2.0 finally comes. Then lot's of these L2 projects will be more attractive.

Solana and polygons have very different statistics, where SOL is ranked 6th CMC with a current value of $223.73 and Polygon is ranked 18th CMC with a price of $1.99, of course SOL is systematically superior, but we need to know that the 2 altcoins have potential equally good, the competition to get more investors is very strong, and the scenarios that are run are equally attractive, namely both have low transaction costs and the process is also fast, if you want to invest with this altcoin now, I think polygon is an option  which is very good.  because the price is still very affordable, while Solana has gone up to the highest price so the risk is very big, but if you have large capital and choose long term, I recommend dividing 50% for Solana and 50% for polygons, because the opportunity to benefit from This altcoin is very high.

Solana is a very functional project with a very decentralized blockchain, so it has a very wide frequency compared to polygons, although it has the same low transaction value, the connection is fast, but I recommend Solana to be an altcoin that is superior to polygons,

The transaction speed of the Polygon blockchain with Solana is faster for the Solana blockchain. The transaction speed of the Polygon blockchain is almost the same as Ethereum. However, the Polygon blockchain is not as busy as the Ethereum network. Meanwhile, the Solana network has higher transaction speeds and lower fees compared to Polygon. This is based on my observations so far, but this system may change, as happened on the Ethereum Blockchain.
