In the ever-evolving blockchain world, Polygon has risen to become one of the most powerful and dynamic ecosystems.
From a scaling solution for Ethereum, it is now redefining itself: not just a blockchain, but the infrastructure for the global digital economy – where assets, value, and transactions from the real world can operate seamlessly on-chain.

The heart of the Polygon 2.0 ecosystem
Next-generation tokens designed to operate the entire Polygon network.
Not just a governance token – it is also a security engine, staking rewards, and a multi-chain payment medium, connecting all layers in the ecosystem.
Users can:
• Participate in staking to protect the network and earn rewards.
• Access to advanced features on AgLayer, the cross-chain coordination layer of Polygon.
• Ensures consistency and smooth interaction between a multitude of zk-powered chains in the network.

AgLayer – The bridge of power between chains
If $POL is the heart, then AgLayer is the nervous system of Polygon.
AgLayer acts as the coordination and shared security layer for all chains in the Polygon 2.0 ecosystem – from zkEVM, zkWASM to other specialized chains.
The unique feature of AgLayer:
• Enables security sharing between chains while maintaining independence.
• Optimizes cross-chain transaction processing to be faster and cheaper.
• Opens up the possibility of building a multi-chain economy – where users interact seamlessly without realizing they are moving between different blockchains.
