Community Guidelines

Polygon Community Forum Guidelines​

At Polygon, we are committed to creating a decentralized, open-source, and accessible-for-all web3 space and this starts with an open community filled with positivity, active engagement, open discussion of ideas, and mutual respect.

Community Culture​

The Polygon Community Forum, and the broader community that uses the platform, are dedicated to developing, improving, and further decentralizing the Polygon ecosystem. Our community culture is one of openness, inclusiveness, and positivity.

Core Values​

The rules and guidelines of the forum reflect the core values of the Polygon ecosystem.

Ecosystem First​

We always prioritize the health of the ecosystem and community above particular interests. Any intentional disruption or act that endangers the well-being of the Polygon community will not be tolerated.

Openness​

The forum is open, accessible, and transparent by its nature. Feel free to share your thoughts and ideas on anything and everything related to Polygon.

Growth​

We are here to build and advance Polygon’s scaling solutions, but we are also here to build ourselves and each other. Ultimately, if you find yourself wondering, “should I post this?” Ask yourself whether it aligns with the values and guidelines below.

Guidelines​

Much like the blockchain itself, the Polygon community does not discriminate against participants based on their color, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, or background. Therefore, we will not tolerate any derogatory comments whatsoever, including those regarding users’ race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or age.
