Hey guys… 
I am excited to dive into the world of blockchain development, particularly on the Polygon network, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the resources and tools available. As a beginner, I’d love to get some guidance on how to start effectively.
Could anyone provide insights on the best practices for setting up a development environment specifically for Polygon? Additionally, what are some essential resources or tutorials that you recommend for someone who is just starting out? I have heard about tools like Truffle and Hardhat—are these necessary, or are there simpler alternatives that might be more suitable for beginners?
I also check this: https://forum.polygon.technology/t/always-goes-to-eth-main-network-on-metamask-not-the-polygon-mainnetservicenow But I have not found any solution. Could anyone guide me about this? I am interested in learning about the integration process with Ethereum. What are some common pitfalls to avoid when developing dApps on Polygon, and how does gas pricing differ from Ethereum’s network?
Lastly, I’d appreciate any tips on engaging with the community. Are there specific forums, Discord channels, or GitHub repositories that are especially helpful for newcomers?
Thank you all in advance!
