Transforming Ethereum into a Multi-chain Ecosystem

Polygon is an easy-to-use and well-structured infrastructure development platform for Ethereum scaling. It aims to expand Ethereum into a multi-chain ecosystem with secured Layer 2 chains such as ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups, and independent chains such as Matic POS chain.

MATIC is the utility Token of Polygon and serves multiple purposes in the ecosystem. For instance, users need the token to pay service fees when interacting with on-chain apps. Moreover, all POS nodes must stake MATIC tokens when deploying on Polygon.

Demand for the Polygon economic system has skyrocketed over the past year, primarily due to the network’s unmatched development speed and intuitive UI/UX. Moreover, hundreds of application projects in sectors such as DeFi, NFTs, and Gaming opt to deploy on Polygon due to its strong compatibility with Ethereum.

There are currently over 500 application projects deployed on the blockchain. The total value locked in various DeFi protocols on the chain, including leading DEXes such as Quickswap, Aave, and Curve, has surpassed $6 billion.
