Polygon is a multi-chain blockchain platform designed to scale Ethereum and improve its transaction throughput and costs using technologies like the Plasma Framework and a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. Polygon's native token is $POL, which has evolved from the original MATIC token as part of the Polygon 2.0 upgrade. The token, $POL, is used for securing the network, staking, governance, and restaking, allowing validators to secure other chains in the Polygon supernet and earn rewards.@Polygon #Polygon $POL
