After a year of extensive community discussion, Polygon developers have announced their migration. Matic

-7.64%
POL tokens have been activated.

This change will introduce POL as the new ticker symbol for the native gas and staking token on the Polygon PoS chain. Exchanges are expected to list the upgraded token.

The transition to POL is a key component of Polygon’s development as a ZK chain and integration with AggLayer, with the goal of unifying liquidity and state across multiple chains. POL maintains MATIC’s existing token economics and 10 billion token supply.

The initial exchange rate for MATIC to POL is set at 1:1, with emissions gradually increasing by 2% over 10 years to support growth. “For validators, this emission model ensures continued rewards, making it attractive for new validators to join and participate,” Polygon said.

MATIC holders on Polygon PoS do not need to take any action as the upgrade to POL will happen automatically. However, MATIC holders on Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM, or centralized exchanges will need to actively migrate their tokens to POL via the migration contract.

The upgraded POL token will have expanded functionality, including the ability to produce blocks in the future, create zero-knowledge proofs, and participate in the Data Availability Committee (DAC).

Polygon uses two scaling solutions: a sidechain called Polygon PoS and a zero-knowledge rollup network called Polygon zkEVM.

POL was first proposed as the network’s upgraded native token in July 2023. In July of this year, Polygon officially announced that the MATIC token would be upgraded to POL on September 4th.
