Matic is becoming Polygon

Matic is expanding its mission to becoming Polygon, Ethereum’s Internet of Blockchains. Polygon aims to enable Ethereum to become a full-fledged, powerful multi-chain system.

About Polygon

Challenges

Ethereum is the blockchain development platform of choice, but it has limitations.

  1. Low Throughput
  2. Poor UX (gas, delayed PoW finality)
  3. No sovereignty (shared throughput/clogging risk, tech stack not customizable, governance dependence)

Many projects are exploring Ethereum-compatible blockchains as a way to mitigate these limitations while still leveraging Ethereum’s thriving ecosystem. However, there is no specialized framework to build such blockchains nor a protocol to connect them. This introduces significant development challenges and causes ecosystem fragmentation.
