In a significant development, the Polygon Foundation has announced the upcoming migration from $MATIC to $POL, a hyperproductive token designed to enhance utility, scalability, and productivity across the Polygon network.

This transition, set for September 4, promises to redefine the role of native blockchain tokens.

A recent transfer of 15.49M $MATIC ($8.1M) from a wallet linked to the Polygon Foundation to Binance has sparked interest. Notably, the wallet still holds 13M $MATIC ($6.78M) under staking, with all tokens originating from the Polygon Foundation contract in April 2023.

$POL introduces a new tokenomics, boasting a larger total supply and innovative features. Validators will participate in various roles, including zero-knowledge proof creation and data availability committees, maximizing rewards and incentivizing broader participation. This scalable approach ensures network security and efficiency, supporting Polygon’s growth without compromising performance.

Designed for sustainability, $POL features a controlled emission schedule and a Community Treasury, ensuring ongoing development and funding grants. This flexible, community-driven governance model enables $POL to adapt to evolving needs, supporting Polygon’s long-term vision.

As the network transitions from $MATIC to $POL, the new token is poised to revolutionize native token utility and scalability. With its enhanced features and sustainable design, $POL represents a significant advancement in token design, promising a bright future for the Polygon ecosystem.
