What is Polygon?

Polygon

A Scalable Solution for Ethereum's Ecosystem

Polygon, formerly known as Matic Network, is a scaling solution designed to improve the scalability and usability of Ethereum. By providing a multi-chain framework compatible with Ethereum, Polygon enables faster and cheaper transactions, making it easier for developers to build and scale decentralized applications (dApps). Polygon aims to be the ‘Internet of Blockchains’ for Ethereum, connecting various networks and facilitating a seamless blockchain experience.

Why Polygon?

Polygon offers several unique advantages that enhance the Ethereum ecosystem:

High Scalability: Polygon’s sidechains allow for faster transaction speeds and greater throughput, overcoming Ethereum’s congestion issues.

Low Transaction Costs: Transaction fees on Polygon are significantly lower than on Ethereum, making it affordable for developers and users.

Interoperability: Polygon connects multiple blockchain networks, enabling them to work together and benefit from Ethereum’s security and ecosystem.

These features make Polygon an ideal choice for developers seeking a scalable, cost-effective way to build dApps on Ethereum.

MATIC Token

MATIC is the utility token of the Polygon network, serving several roles within the ecosystem:

Transaction Fees: MATIC is used to pay transaction fees on the Polygon network, ensuring smooth and low-cost transactions.

Staking: MATIC holders can stake their tokens to secure the network, participate in governance, and earn rewards.

As Polygon continues to grow, MATIC plays a crucial role in the platform’s functionality, helping to maintain security, decentralization, and scalability.

Polygon’s Vision and Ecosystem

Polygon was founded with the vision of creating a more scalable, user-friendly Ethereum ecosystem. By offering various solutions, including sidechains, rollups, and standalone chains, Polygon aims to create an interconnected ecosystem that empowers developers and users.

With a rapidly growing array of DeFi projects, NFT platforms, and gaming dApps, Polygon’s ecosystem is expanding quickly. Polygon’s goal is to become a comprehensive scaling solution for Ethereum, supporting the next generation of decentralized applications and use cases.

Invest in Polygon

Virtune Staked Polygon ETP is a physically backed Exchange Traded Product (ETP) that seamlessly combines exposure to Polygon (MATIC) with the benefits of staking. With staking incorporated, this ETP enables investors to generate additional yield on their Polygon investment. This is made possible through a transparent and physically backed structure with institutional grade security.
