Polygon, previously known as Matic Network, was founded in 2017. However, it wasn’t until February 2021, that Matic Network was rebranded to Polygon. Polygon advertises itself as a layer-2 network. Being a layer-2 network means that it acts as an add-on layer to existing crypto blockchains without altering the original blockchain. In this way, it helps to scale existing blockchains in the crypto ecosystem. As Polygon’s native cryptocurrency, MATIC tokens are used as payment and settlement units.
