Polygon $MATIC

Polygon (MATIC) is an Ethereum token that powers the Polygon Network — a protocol and framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. Polygon is what’s known as a Layer-2 solution, designed to help scale the Ethereum network and improve its functionality. The protocol aims for faster, cheaper Ethereum transactions using sidechains, blockchains that run like speedy HOV lanes alongside the Ethereum main chain.
