This upgrade marks the beginning of a major evolution for the Polygon<\/a><\/strong> network, introducing POL as the new native token for gas fees and staking on the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network.<\/p>\n

POL is a community-driven token designed to replace MATIC and will be central to Polygon\u2019s future growth. The shift was detailed in the Polygon Improvement Proposal (PIP-17) and has garnered strong support from the community.<\/p>\n

The transition to POL is part of Polygon\u2019s broader strategy to enhance its blockchain capabilities and scalability. The groundwork for POL began last October with the introduction of POL ERC-20 contracts on Ethereum<\/a><\/strong>. Since then, various proposals and community feedback have shaped the token\u2019s utility and governance.<\/p>\n
