The Migration: $MATIC to Pol

The Polygon ecosystem is gearing up for the official switch from MATIC to the Pol token, scheduled for September 4th of this year. This upgrade will essentially see Pol take over as the native gas and staking token for Polygon’s Proof of Stake (PoS) chain, reflecting a major milestone in the Polygon 2.0 roadmap released last year.

The POL upgrade was initially rolled out on testnet on July 17th to facilitate a smooth transition. The main focus of this phase was to detect and address potential issues, allowing users and developers to acclimate to the new system before the mainnet upgrade.
