This marks a new milestone, paving the way for the Polygon 2.0 vision, which includes various enhancements like replacing the #MATIC token with #POL, implementing re-staking, expanding the use cases for the original token, and upgrading the Polygon PoS sidechain to a layer-2 zkRollup.
POL will operate across all existing Polygon networks, including the PoS main chain, zkEVM, and Supernets branches, with the goal of creating a unified network connecting various layer-2 solutions using ZK technology.
While smart contracts for POL have been deployed, the Polygon network is currently still using MATIC as the original token. MATIC holders do NOT need to take any action at this time.
