#polygon $POL @Polygon
$POL (Polygon Ecosystem Token) is the next-generation native token of the Polygon ecosystem, replacing MATIC. It powers Polygon’s suite of Layer-2 solutions built on Ethereum, such as zkEVM, Polygon PoS, and Supernets. $POL is designed for scalability and flexibility, enabling holders to stake, validate, and participate in governance across multiple Polygon chains. Validators earn rewards and transaction fees by securing the network and providing computational power. Unlike MATIC, supports a multi-chain staking model, allowing one token to secure many chains simultaneously. This upgrade aligns with Polygon 2.0’s vision of a unified ecosystem of interconnected blockchains with shared liquidity and security. Through $POL, Polygon aims to enhance decentralization, interoperability, and developer accessibility while maintaining low fees and high speed. Overall, is central to Polygon’s mission of transforming Ethereum into the “Value Layer of the Internet.”
