Polygon POL

On 2025-04-21 the current Polygon price/exchange rate is 0.174166 EUR.

Polygon is a "Layer-2" solution for building and connecting blockchain networks that are compatible with Ethereum.

The goal of Polygon is to scale the Ethereum blockchain network with the help of a multitude of side chains.

As a Layer-2 network, it uses the Ethereum infrastructure and runs alongside it. 

This is why it offers lower transaction costs to the users, and makes the transactions faster.

The protocol offers a wide selection of modules that developers can easily use to set up and configure their own blockchain network.

The Polygon network is powered by a native token MATIC.

At the time of writing this text, there are 9.9 billion MATIC tokens in circulation.

The maximum number of MATIC tokens that will be in circulation is predetermined and amounts to 10 billion.

Polygon is a multi-chain system that solves classic Ethereum blockchain network problems that include bandwidth, scaling, and poor user experience.

Unlike other blockchain networks, Polygon enables the interoperability of different blockchain networks and their chains with the Ethereum network.

These benefits allow developers to develop better and more scalable solutions, which would not otherwise be possible to develop on the Ethereum network alone.

Polygon network is compatible with Ethereum-Virtual-Machine, which allows projects to easily migrate their smart contracts.

Polygon (MATIC) uses a POS (Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism to generate new tokens, so it is not possible to mine it in a classic way with the help of hardware.

The Polygon blockchain chain runs in parallel with the Ethereum blockchain network and has its own transaction validators.

Polygon, originally named Matic Network was founded in 2017 in India by four experienced Ethereum developers; Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun, and Mihailo Bjelic.

The Polygon blockchain network was launched in 2020 and has attracted many projects in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi).
