While Polygon Labs has revealed more about the future of its ecosystem, we learn that the MATIC will soon be replaced by a new token called POL. What does this novelty entail?

Tokenomics de Polygon 2.0 : le POL est en passe de remplacer le MATIC
MATIC should be replaced by POL in Polygon 2.0
Polygon Labs has released its version 2.0 tokenomics, and the major point that emerges is the arrival of the native token POL, which would replace the MATIC :
1/ Today, the next technical proposal of Polygon 2.0 is unveiled:
POL, the upgraded token of the Polygon protocol! 💫
POL is the next generation native token, designed to secure, align and grow the Polygon ecosystem.

At this stage, it is only a proposal, and all the elements that we will develop are still subject to acceptance by the governance.
Thus, it is the novelties brought by Polygon 2.0, which would justify the creation of a new token:
“Today, a group of Polygon founders and researchers released a white paper proposing POL, a technical upgrade to the native Polygon network asset. POL is the next generation protocol token, designed to become the main tool for coordination and growth of the Polygon ecosystem and the main driver of the value layer vision for the Internet. »
In the facts, MATIC holders will be able to redeem them for an equivalent amount of POL when the time comes. Furthermore, this migration could begin in the months following the adoption of the project by the governance, and could give investors a period of 4 years or more to update.

New for validators
On the validator side, they will be able to validate several chains at the same time, while only stacking their POL in one place.
Validators will therefore have the freedom to validate as many blockchains from the Polygon ecosystem as they want. This obviously includes the current Proof-of-Stake network as well as the ZK Rollup compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), but also all the supernets that may be created.
As a reminder, the supernets are a kind of parallel networks designed to improve the scalability of Polygon for specific use cases, like the Avalanche (AVAX) subnets.
On the rewards side, validators will receive a share of the transaction costs of the various networks as well as a part of the new POLs created. In addition, additional incentives may be offered according to the strategies of each blockchain in the Polygon ecosystem, for example through stablecoins or tokens native to said networks.
According to this strategy, the MATIC will therefore, in the long term, be completely replaced by the POL. In view of the developments of recent years, Polygon can no longer be considered as a simple sidechain of Ethereum (ETH), but as a fully-fledged blockchain ecosystem.

I timidly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 during my quest for financial freedom. Initially invested moderately, it was only two years later that I took the gamble of betting everything on the movement that was taking shape then. I then dedicate 2021 to training myself better to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I do know, I want to share with you.
