Here’s some more information about the token:

Polygon Ecosystem Token (POL) is a multi-chain scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain. Polygon is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to improve the speed and reduce the cost and complexities of transactions on its network. Polygon uses sidechains to help with off-chain computation while maintaining security and uses a decentralized network of proof-of-stake (PoS) validators. POL is an upgrade and renaming of the MATIC token. Switching to POL tokens enhances tokenomics and governance rights, allowing stakeholders greater involvement in decision-making and shaping the platform through community initiatives.
