About Polygon PoS

On September 4, 2024, POL officially replaced MATIC as the native gas and staking token for the Polygon PoS network. The migration was activated as part of Polygon 2.0 roadmap. It was a 1:1 token upgrade — every MATIC holder received an equivalent amount of POL. Holders on Ethereum or Polygon zkEVM can migrate using the Polygon Portal with no set deadline.

About Polygon zkEVM

POL was introduced to expand the token's utility beyond a single chain. Unlike MATIC, which was limited to the Polygon PoS chain, POL is designed to secure multiple chains connected via AggLayer — Polygon's interoperability layer. POL also introduces a dynamic emission model to support validator rewards and ecosystem growth across the entire Polygon 2.0 network.


1:1 MATIC → POL

Every MATIC token was upgraded 1:1 to POL with no financial impact — only expanded utility and roadmap.

Multi-Chain Security

POL secures multiple Polygon-powered chains via AggLayer, unlike MATIC which was limited to one chain.

Dynamic Emissions

POL uses flexible emission to fund validator rewards and ecosystem growth; MATIC had a fixed supply model.

Polygon 2.0 Vision

The MATIC to POL upgrade is the first step in Polygon's transformation into a unified multi-chain ecosystem.
