Binance Launchpad, the exclusive token launch platform of Binance helping transformative blockchain startups raise funding to develop their products aiding in cryptocurrency adoption, has completed the sale of Matic Network (MATIC) tokens. This is the fourth token sale of Binance Launchpad this year and the first token sale under new lottery rules.
The token sale was conducted through a single session where participants purchased MATIC tokens using Binance Coin (BNB). In this session, all 1.9 billion MATIC tokens were sold to Launchpad participants who won in the lottery.

Matic Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution that achieves scale by utilizing side-chains for off-chain computation, while ensuring asset security using the Plasma framework and a decentralized network of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) validators. Matic aims to be the de-facto platform on which developers will deploy and run decentralized applications.
