What Is Polygon?

Polygon, previously known as Matic Network, is a protocol and framework for building and connecting Ethereum-compatible blockchain networks. It provides scalable, secure, and instant transactions using the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and a modified Plasma framework. Polygon aims to transform Ethereum into a multi-chain system.

The Polygon token used to be called MATIC. On September 4, 2024, Polygon upgraded it to POL, which is now the gas and staking token of the Polygon PoS chain; MATIC on Polygon PoS was converted to POL automatically.

Is Polygon Staking Safe?

For the average user, staking POL tokens is as safe as simply storing them in your wallet. All transactions, whether in a wallet or in staking, are processed by smart contracts and the blockchain without human intervention. Therefore, staking offers the same level of reliability and security as keeping tokens in a wallet.

Why Stake Polygon?

  • Supporting the Polygon Blockchain: For the stable and secure operation of the Polygon blockchain, transaction validation is required, which is only possible with a large and decentralized volume of staked POL tokens. This is why many users stake the tokens of their favorite blockchain.
  • Investments: Users who invest in tokens for the long term choose staking as an additional income multiplier and protection against inflation. Staking is as reliable and safe as storing tokens in an address while providing good returns.
  • Exploring New Features: Many users limit themselves to simple token transfers. However, some want to explore all the blockchain’s possibilities, thus experimenting with swaps and staking.

Storing and Staking POL

You can store POL tokens and stake them at the same time. For example, allocate some tokens for long-term investment and stake them, while keeping a small portion for operational purposes, such as paying transaction fees for POL tokens or NFTs. You decide how many POL tokens to stake and can also withdraw tokens from staking.
