The future is here. @0xPolygon has officially completed the migration from MATIC to $POL, marking one of the most significant transitions in Web3 history. With over 99% of $MATIC already migrated, Polygon enters the next chapter of its evolution — Polygon 2.0, a unified and infinitely scalable ecosystem built to power the Internet’s value layer.
💠 What is $POL?
$POL is not just a rebrand — it’s a complete redesign of the token architecture that underpins the Polygon ecosystem. The token serves as the next-generation network token, enabling:
Seamless staking across all Polygon chains
Unified governance for the entire ecosystem
Enhanced validator incentives to strengthen network security
Reward access from multiple Polygon protocols through a single token
In simple terms, POL is designed to connect and secure every chain within Polygon 2.0, from zkEVM to AggLayer, while aligning incentives between developers, users, and validators.
⚙️ Why this migration matters
Polygon’s transition to POLis more than a technical upgrade — it’s a foundational step toward building a network of ZK-powered chains that act as one cohesive system. By doing so, Polygon enables:
Infinite scalability — anyone can launch their own chain with the security and liquidity of Ethereum
Unified liquidity — assets and value can move freely between chains via the AggLayer
Sustainable economics — validators can secure multiple networks with a single token
This creates a truly interconnected Web3 ecosystem, where every transaction, every application, and every community benefits from shared growth.
🚀 The path to @Polygon 2.0
The migration to POL is a key milestone in the Polygon 2.0 roadmap, which reimagines Polygon as the Value Layer of the Internet. It’s the foundation for a world where digital ownership, scalability, and interoperability work seamlessly together.
If you’re holding MATIC, you can still migrate easily using official Polygon tools or supported exchanges. But make no mistake — the community has already embraced this shift, signaling full confidence in Polygon’s vision for the future.
🌍 What’s next?
Expect a wave of ecosystem updates, governance proposals, and new staking opportunities built around $POL. As the final pieces of Polygon 2.0 roll out, $POL will become the heart of this new decentralized economy — uniting builders, users, and protocols under one scalable and secure network.
