This upgrade, announced after a year of community-led discussions, went live on September 4, as scheduled.

Polygon highlighted the implications of this transition, stating that starting today, every transaction on Polygon PoS will use the hyperproductive POL token as the native gas and staking token.
Polygon Migrates to POL for Network Expansion
The migration introduces the POL token , which will now serve as the native gas and staking token for all transactions on Polygon’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network.
However, beyond just a ticker change, POL is a technical upgrade aimed at enhancing the ecosystem’s future as an aggregated network. The token will be utilized for gas fees, validator rewards, governance payments, and network security tasks such as ZK proof generation. Future expansions of POL’s functionality, especially in the AggLayer, will depend on community consensus.
MATIC investors are not required to migrate immediately, as the transition is designed to bolster the infrastructure of Polygon’s L2 ecosystem. POL’s introduction promises enhanced utilities, positioning Polygon as a potential leader among Ethereum Layer-2 solutions. Binance has already shown support by announcing plans to delist all MATIC trading pairs on September 10, 2024.
According to CoinMarketCap data today, Polygon (MATIC) is trading at $0.3682, with a decrease of 0.93% in the past day and 16.64% in the past week. See MATIC price chart below.
