Polygon: Economic Model Analysis POL – The Adhesive Connecting the Systematic Nature of Digital Finance

Polygon provides an engaging case study on the systemic nature of blockchain architecture. Instead of just being an L2, Polygon has built a modular, multi-chain ecosystem where POL acts as the economic glue binding different components (zk-Rollups, PoS, AgLayer).

The economic model of $POL is designed to align interests: stakers and validators (those who provide security) are rewarded, while POL serves as a governance tool, ensuring decentralization. The focus on AgLayer is a key strategy to minimize systemic risk from fragmented liquidity, a major weakness of competing Layer 2s.

With deep involvement in RWA, Polygon is positioning itself as the infrastructure backbone for the flow of trillions of USD from TradFi. Analysts need to focus on: 1) The adoption rate of AgLayer as a common settlement layer, and 2) The speed of RWA tokenization. These are practical indicators of the transition from scaling solutions to a global financial platform. #Polygon @Polygon $POL
