Polygon's MATIC to POL Token Migration Set for September 4
The Polygon Foundation has officially announced that the migration from MATIC to POL tokens will occur on September 4.
POL tokens will take over the role of MATIC as the primary token used for gas fees and staking on the Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) network.
The move to POL tokens is not a sudden decision but a well-considered, community-driven upgrade first proposed in the previous year.
While MATIC tokens on the Polygon PoS network will automatically transition to POL, holders will need to manually migrate their tokens.
The price of MATIC has experienced significant volatility, particularly in light of recent regulatory scrutiny.
Despite recent price volatility, the Polygon community remains optimistic and the upcoming migration and developments are expected to drive network growth.
