The MATIC to POL Migration Process, explained
Hello, Hubbers.
In the light of the transition from MATIC to POL, Polygon will implement a mainnet upgrade on September 4, 2024, transitioning from its native token, MATIC, to a new token with the ticker POL and updated smart contracts, following community approval.
Following the upgrade, POL will become the primary token for gas fees and staking within the network in its initial phase. POL is designed to maintain the existing tokenomics, distribution, and total supply of MATIC.
