What is Polygon?

Polygon is a sidechain platform designed to be more scalable, faster and cheaper than the Ethereum network. Polygon was built to take the load off the Ethereum network. Developers can build decentralized applications (dApps) on the network.

The network used to be called Matic, but as of 2021 it is known as Polygon. Polygon's native token is called MATIC, but as of 2023 the transition to POL has been announced as the new token for the ecosystem.

How does Polygon work?

Polygon works as a sidechain scaling solution that functions alongside the Ethereum blockchain. Thanks to a sidechain (which is actually a separate blockchain connected to Ethereum), transactions can take place outside the mainnet. In this way, Polygon relieves the Ethereum mainnet and the network can execute transactions faster at low transaction costs.

Polygon's POL token is mainly used to pay transaction costs and for the governance of the network. POL token holders can vote on high-impact changes to the network. In addition, the network uses Proof-of-Stake, just like Ethereum. This means that transactions are validated and finalized and new blocks are added to the blockchain through staking. By staking POL tokens, you help to execute transactions and secure the network. As a reward, stakers (also called validators) are paid POL tokens on top of the tokens they have staked.

Other components within the broader Polygon ecosystem are bridges, ZK rollups and optimistic rollups. Bridges allow you to easily move crypto between Polygon and other blockchains such as Ethereum. In addition, Polygon is working on solutions with Optimistic Rollups and ZK-Rollups, which make transactions faster, more efficient and cheaper by bundling and validating many transactions at the same time.

Who are the founders of Polygon?

In 2017, Polygon (then still under the name Matic Network) was launched by Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal and Anurag Arjun. In 2021, Matic Network changed its name to Polygon to better reflect its broader vision as a multi-chain platform.
