MATIC

POLYGON

Polygon, formerly known as Matic Network, is a pioneering platform dedicated to scaling and enhancing infrastructure development on Ethereum. At its core is the Polygon SDK, a flexible framework supporting the creation of various applications, including Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, standalone chains, and more. By leveraging Polygon, developers can seamlessly build on Ethereum while enjoying the benefits of a full-fledged multi-chain system.


Polygon enhances Ethereum's scalability and functionality, akin to other platforms like Polkadot and Cosmos, while retaining Ethereum's security, vibrant ecosystem, and openness. Existing applications on the Plasma-POS chain remain unchanged, while Polygon introduces new features and expands capabilities to meet diverse developer needs.


The $MATIC token continues to be integral, securing the system and enabling governance within the Polygon ecosystem.
