About Polygon
Polygon (POL) is a project focused on scaling Ethereum — making transactions faster and cheaper while relying on Ethereum for security. It began as a popular "sidechain" that offered low-cost transactions, and has since expanded into a broader set of technologies for building and connecting scalable networks, including zero-knowledge cryptography. POL is the network’s token, used for fees, staking and securing its infrastructure (replacing the earlier MATIC token).
Polygon has been one of the more widely adopted scaling ecosystems, attracting major brands and applications, but it operates in an intensely competitive field of Ethereum layer-2s all chasing the same users. Its value depends on remaining a leading choice for cheap, Ethereum-connected activity. POL is a volatile, high-risk asset.
