Polygon: the full-stack Ethereum scaling solution the crypto industry needs
As you may know, Polygon is a full-stack Ethereum scaling platform. It depicts itself as a protocol “for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks” and “aggregating scalable solutions on Ethereum supporting a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.” In simple terms, it’s an user-friendly platform which aims at transforming Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain ecosystem.
The MATIC token secures the system and enables a structured governance. To create new MATIC and secure the network, Polygon uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism.
