Pro tip- swap it to MATICX, which is a liquid staking token, and qualify for airdrops. Another pro tip- send POL on PoS to a CEX and then withdraw to Ethereum mainnet. Basically the CEX becomes your bridge. However, mainnet fees are really really cheap right now. I recently bridged and staked for under $3 in gas fees
My issue is that you can’t stake on polygon, you have to stake on Ethereum mainnet. That’s brutal. Gas fees make staking only worth it if you delegate for a long period of time or have fat stacks. So I’m providing liquidity in MATIC/stMATIC or MATIC/MATICX LPs on Beefy bc they were incentivized by Lido before
Just buy wrapped staked MATIC on Polygon POS. You have stMATIC (from LIDO) and MATICX (from STADER). They both earn and compound staking rewards while remaining composable with DeFi protocols. Then you could (for example) lend out your staked Matic and receive additional rewards on top of the staking APY if you wanted to.
