As the load grows, cryptocurrency networks, including Bitcoin, have difficulties in processing transactions - they cannot scale (adapt to the load). Bitcoin's throughput is only 4 transactions per second and, if demand for coin transfers increases, transaction processing times increase, too. People long familiar with the crypto market remember how in 2017 Bitcoin transactions took several days to process, and it cost about 60 USD to speed up a transfer.
The purpose of the Polygon platform
The Polygon (Matic Network) project helped to cope with the crypto market's limited ability to scale. The platform has developed a unique technology by which the cryptocurrencies of one blockchain are safely used in another blockchain and, if necessary, can return to the original blockchain.
As a result, slow blockchains are offloaded and their users can expect to process transactions in a known and stable timeframe for a low fee.
The Polygon platform token is called Matic. It is used for settlements between users, payment of transaction fees, and for stacking, a passive earning by receiving remuneration for storing Matic tokens on Matic Network wallets.
Some facts about Matic Network
The importance of the Polygon project is hard to overestimate:
- Polygon's blockchain is capable of scaling up to millions of transactions per second;
- In the first 2 years of Polygon's existence, the value of Polygon token has grown by more than 500 times;
- the transaction fee in the Matic blockchain is less than 0.0001 USD.
