What is Polygon

Polygon (POL) is the token of the Polygon ecosystem, a family of networks for scaling Ethereum. The project started in India in 2017 as Matic Network, founded by Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal and Anurag Arjun, with Mihailo Bjelic joining the founding team later. It rebranded as Polygon in February 2021. In September 2024 POL replaced the original MATIC token: on Polygon PoS the switch happened automatically at a one-to-one rate, while MATIC held on Ethereum is upgraded manually through Polygon Portal.

POL’s main network is Polygon PoS, a Proof of Stake blockchain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Polygon’s documentation calls it a sidechain: the Bor layer, based on the Go Ethereum client, produces blocks, while the Heimdall layer, built with the Cosmos SDK and CometBFT, periodically posts checkpoints (compact summaries of recent blocks) to Ethereum. Validators stake POL in smart contracts on Ethereum itself, and on Polygon PoS the token pays for transactions. POL was issued as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum in October 2023, and new tokens are minted every year to reward validators and fund a community treasury.

POL is designed as a shared token for several Polygon networks. Besides Polygon PoS, Polygon Labs is building AggLayer, which aims to connect different blockchains through shared bridging and zero-knowledge proofs. Unlike rollups such as Arbitrum or Optimism, which post transaction data to Ethereum and rely on its security, Polygon PoS is secured by its own validators and uses Ethereum for checkpoints and staking.

What it’s used for

paying transaction fees on Polygon PoS
staking with Polygon PoS validators for rewards from emissions
payments in decentralized apps on Polygon PoS

Risks

annual emissions keep increasing the POL supply, and Polygon governance can change their parameters
Polygon PoS security rests on its own validator set rather than on Ethereum, and the network has had vulnerabilities before: in December 2021 a bug in a system contract led to the theft of about 801 thousand MATIC
demand for the token depends on usage of Polygon networks, which compete with other Ethereum scaling networks that do not use POL

Contract addresses

Check the contract address before you buy or send: fake tokens copy the name and ticker, but their address is different.

Questions

How much is Polygon worth today?

As of November 11, 2026, Polygon trades at $0.0874. Over 24 hours the price moved −1.87%, over 7 days −4.94%. The price on this page refreshes automatically.

How many POL are in circulation?

10.6 B POL are in circulation. There is no maximum supply. The fully diluted value of all coins is $931.0M.

What is the Polygon all-time high?

The all-time high of $1.29 was set on March 13, 2024. The price is now 93.21% below it. The all-time low was $0.0677 (July 1, 2026).

How is POL different from MATIC?

POL is the successor to MATIC: in September 2024 it became the gas and staking token of Polygon PoS, with a one-to-one conversion. On Polygon PoS the switch was automatic, while MATIC on Ethereum is upgraded manually through Polygon Portal; sending MATIC straight to the migration contract address can result in lost funds.

Is Polygon a layer 2?

Polygon PoS is often grouped with Ethereum layer 2 networks, but Polygon’s own documentation describes it as a sidechain: it has its own validators and uses Ethereum only for checkpoints and stakes. Rollups, by contrast, publish transaction data to Ethereum and rely on its security.

How do I check a POL address for AML risk?

Open @AMLmexmBot, pick the network (Ethereum (ERC-20)) and send a wallet address or a transaction hash. The bot shows the risk score in percent and where the funds came from. Your first check is free.
