#Polygon
POL (Polygon Ecosystem Token) is Polygon’s native utility token, upgraded from MATIC, powering the network’s security, operations, and growth across its PoS chain and AggLayer.
Primary Uses
• Staking & Security: Holders stake POL to validate transactions, secure the network, and earn rewards plus fees; enables hyperproductive multi-chain validation.
• Gas Fees: Pays for transactions on Polygon PoS and ecosystem chains, ensuring low-cost scalability.
• Governance: Vote on upgrades, grants, and decisions via Polygon DAO.
Expanded Roles
Restaking secures other Polygon chains for extra yields, while bridging supports seamless Ethereum-Polygon transfers. With 99% MATIC migration complete by late 2025, POL drives TVL over $1B and institutional staking.
