Buy Polygon (prev. MATIC)The Ethereum blockchain supports a wide variety of economic activities, including NFT markets, gaming and the growing DeFi ecosystem. It is well suited to this activity because it is compatible with smart contracts, which can be used to develop a wide variety of applications.

POL is designed to support a vast ecosystem of interconnected blockchains (zk-rollups) and enhance interoperability. It empowers users to earn rewards for securing data and decentralising transaction sequencing.
