@Polygon
The Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL), which evolved from the original MATIC token, is key to the Polygon network, a scaling solution for Ethereum.
Its primary role is to:
Secure the network through Proof-of-Stake staking, allowing validators to earn rewards.
Pay for network transaction fees (gas), which are significantly lower than on Ethereum's mainnet.
Govern the protocol, giving holders a say in upgrades.
POL enables faster, cheaper, and more scalable transactions for DeFi, NFTs, and other dApps.
