The MATIC to POL upgrade has gone live. More than ‘just a ticker change’, POL is a technical upgrade with a culmination of a years-worth of community-led discussions and consensus, that sets the stage for Polygon's future as an aggregated network. Starting today, every transaction that takes place on Polygon PoS uses POL as the native gas and staking token. As a hyperproductive token, POL plays an important role with utility like: - Native gas & staking token for Polygon PoS - Fueling the grants ecosystems & Community Treasury  - Validator rewards - Governance - Providing network security for services such as sequencing, ZK proof generation, participation in DACs and more (subject to community consensus) REMINDER: There is no deadline to upgrade your MATIC to POL.
