Buy Polygon (MATIC) Cryptocurrency

MATIC, an ERC-20 token running on the Ethereum blockchain, is the native token of Polygon, which is a solution that provides tools to increase the speed and reduce the cost and complexities of transactions on blockchain networks.

Polygon is a protocol and framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. These Ethereum-compatible blockchains, commonly known as “sidechains,” are unique blockchains that are bound to the main Ethereum blockchain and are used to support many decentralized finance protocols. Polygon helps enable the building and connecting of these sidechains through its framework, which allows for a “one-click deployment of preset Ethereum-compatible blockchains” and is comprised of a set of modules for developers who want to build their own custom blockchains. This framework is implemented alongside the Polygon Network’s protocol, which allows communication between any two participating Polygon sidechains, as well as between any Polygon sidechain and Ethereum. Taken as a whole, Polygon is intended to facilitate the creation of two types of sidechains: “secured chains” and “stand-alone chains.” Secured chains leverage the validation mechanisms of the Ethereum network or a pool of professional validators. In contrast, stand-alone chains require their own pool of validators.

Polygon has a max supply of 10,000,000,000 MATIC tokens. They are currently released monthly. All tokens are scheduled to be released by December 2022.

Polygon was created in India in 2017 by Ethereum developers Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal and Anurag Arjun, as well as Mihailo Bjelic.

Users are rewarded in MATIC tokens for providing resources and services to Polygon networks, including by validating transactions using the proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms implemented by Polygon blockchains or for executing smart contracts. Additionally, users who own and stake MATIC are able to vote on upgrades to Polygon, with each MATIC token representing one vote.

MATIC can be used for staking and for paying transaction fees on Polygon blockchains.
