POL

MATIC is undergoing one of its most awaited upgrades. The MATIC token will soon be renamed POL as a part of this initiative. More details about this upgrade are mentioned below. Please go through the entire blog thoroughly for complete details.

The POL upgrade is a community-driven initiative proposed last year as a part of PIP-17. This proposal and Polygon’s shift to an aggregated blockchain network called for an upgraded token with enhanced utility, hence the decision to change MATIC to POL.

ZebPay will fully support this transition of MATIC to POL. The MATIC token will be delisted to support this upgrade, and the POL token will be listed back on the platform as per the dates below.
