Polygon

About Polygon

Polygon (POL) is a blockchain scaling solution designed to improve the speed and reduce the costs of transactions on the Ethereum network. Formerly known as MATIC, it rebranded to POL as part of its evolution toward a broader vision called the Aggregation Layer, or AggLayer, which connects multiple blockchains into a unified ecosystem. Polygon supports developers in building decentralized applications using various scaling technologies, including zero-knowledge proofs. It remains one of the most widely used Ethereum-compatible networks, powering projects across DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise blockchain use cases.
