Polygon was formerly called Matic Network. Polygon (MATIC) is an Ethereum token that powers the Polygon Network, a scaling solution for Ethereum. Polygon aims to provide faster and cheaper transactions on Ethereum using Layer 2 sidechains, which are blockchains that run alongside the Ethereum main chain. Users can deposit Ethereum tokens to a Polygon smart contract, interact with them within Polygon, and then later withdraw them back to the Ethereum main chain. The MATIC token is used to pay transaction fees and participate in proof-of-stake consensus.

Polygon, formerly known as Matic Network, is a platform designed to enhance the scalability and usability of Ethereum-based applications. It functions as both a sidechain and a Layer-2 scaling solution, enabling faster and more cost-effective Ethereum transactions by operating alongside the Ethereum main chain. Polygon transforms Ethereum into a multi-chain system, similar to platforms like Polkadot, Cosmos, and Avalanche, while maintaining the benefits of Ethereum’s security and ecosystem. The Polygon Software Development Kit (SDK) serves as the platform’s core component, providing developers with a flexible framework for creating a wide range of decentralized applications. The native token, MATIC, is used to pay transaction fees and participate in the network's proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.
Polygon leverages a combination of the Plasma Framework and a proof-of-stake blockchain architecture to address Ethereum's scalability challenges. The Plasma Framework, co-developed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, enables scalable and autonomous smart contract execution. Polygon’s architecture supports high transaction throughput on its sidechains, achieving block confirmation times of under two seconds. This allows for the deployment of numerous decentralized applications (DApps) without the congestion and high costs associated with proof-of-work blockchains. Users can interact with the Polygon network through multi-chain wallets like Coinbase Wallet, using the Polygon Bridge to transfer Ethereum assets and manage balances across different networks.
Polygon’s flexible infrastructure supports a wide array of use cases in the decentralized ecosystem. Developers can build optimistic rollup chains, ZK rollup chains, standalone chains, or other custom infrastructures tailored to their applications. This versatility makes Polygon an ideal platform for decentralized applications (DApps) such as games, decentralized exchanges, and lending platforms. Its high-speed, low-cost transactions also make it suitable for payment systems, real-time trading platforms, and other applications that require frequent, fast transactions. Polygon’s interoperability with Ethereum enhances its appeal for projects seeking scalability without leaving the Ethereum ecosystem.
