Polygon (MATIC) Completes POL Migration, Setting Stage for Future Growth
Over the past few days, Polygon ( MATIC ) successfully completed its anticipated upgrade to the new token POL, which will serve as the native gas and staking token for the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network. This transition, which went live on September 4, 2024, is a key component of Polygon’s larger 2.0 roadmap, aimed at improving scalability and security across the ecosystem. The POL token is expected to play a broader role in upcoming phases, potentially facilitating block generation and staking across multiple layer-2 chains within the Polygon network​( The Daily Hodl )​( Web3, Aggregated. ).
