In the crypto world, many currencies and crypto networks have launched. But today we are going to discuss Polygon which is also called MATIC. Initially, this token was launched as MATIC after its rebranded its name changed to Polygon. Everyone can purchase and sell this token on all major cryptocurrency exchanges. But before trading in this token we should need to know some basic details about this token.
Here in this article, I will try to answer your basic questions about this Polygon (MATIC).
So Let’s Move On.
What is Polygon (MATIC)?
In simple words, MATIC Network also called Polygon is a scaling solution and its main aim is to address the scalability issues seen in Ethereum. Ethereum network is in high demand on different popular decentralized platforms such as Decentraland, CryptoKitties, Gods Unchained, and much more. Decentralized finance (DeFi) apps such as Compound, Maker, SNX are also using the Ethereum Network.
The problem with Ethereum Network is it can only process on average 14 transactions per second at a time. And the apps which are using this network have to compete for the limited resources that Ethereum provides.
Here Matic networks provide the solution to this problem by introducing a second layer scaling solution. Polygon provides a solution by providing these computations and transactions to the side chains (Called Off-Chain computation). The second layer chain is assured by the Plasma framework and Proof of Stake (PoS) by the MATIC validators.
Polygon (MATIC) Network Architecture
MATIC network solves the problem by creating a decentralized platform using an adapted version of the Plasma framework. This framework provides a solution for faster and extremely low-cost transactions as compared to Ethereum transactions.
MATIC Network system ensures its liveliness by using PoS checkpoints which are pushed to the Ethereum mainchain. It enables a single sidechain to theoretically achieve 2 16 transactions per block.
Main Features Of Polygon (MATIC):
- Scalability
