Polygon, a leading Ethereum layer 2 scaling solution, is considering a significant upgrade involving the transformation of its native token $MATIC into $POL. The proposal, which is part of the road map for Polygon 2.0, aims to enhance the functionality and cross-chain capabilities of the token within the ecosystem. If approved, $POL tokens will be staked across multiple chains including Proof of Stake (PoS), zkEVM, and Supernets while offering improved scalability and security. Polygon validators would be able to secure transactions across different chains, making the ecosystem more robust. The migration from $MATIC to $POL is expected to be a smooth transition for token holders, with the upgrade still pending approval from the Polygon community.
