> Ethereum lowers native stake to 1 eth This is already a possibility that is being researched. The problem is that the more validators you have the more bandwidth is required on the network to allow them all to communicate. At the moment Ethereum prioritizes the ability for users to be able to run nodes at home, on cheap hardware and with regular domestic broadband. Part of the reason Pectra update due tomorrow is to increase the maximum (not minimum) balance of validators so that big staking entities like Coinbase can combine lots of their 32 ETH validators into fewer numbers of larger ones, therefore reducing the required chatter between them. There are other upgrades being researched that will reduce requirements in other ways, if you're interested then Vitalik discussed the possibility of reducing stake to 1 ETH and some of the development prerequisites a while back at https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2024/10/14/futures1.html > In a bold move, OP, Base, POL, ARB join forces, creating a unified bridge. > Ethereum codifies them through an EIP, creating a universal evm bridge. > Mainnet and all L2s can now interop without sacrificing separation and their sense of self. This is the idea of the Based and Native rollup design, which is likely to be the ultimate form of the majority of the L2 ecosystem. https://ethresear.ch/t/based-rollups-superpowers-from-l1-sequencing/15016 https://ethresear.ch/t/native-rollups-superpowers-from-l1-execution/21517 Full Ethereum security for assets and transactions on L2s; no need for rollups to have their own proposers/sequencers/validators or the governance associated; easy interoperability between different L2s and between L1 and L2; cheaper verification of the ZK validity proofs used by ZK rollups... Basically that is the end game that is being worked towards already, users won't even need to know which rollup they are using if they don't want to, transaction throughput of the overall network will be able to scale almost limitlessly by just spinning up additional rollups for different applications, companies etc. > L2s and mainnet derivative protocols start collapsing due to growing complexity and spread too thin liquidity. No need for anything to collapse, you've just described stuff that's already being worked on! https://ethroadmap.com/

ftball21

I think I found a way out for ethereum but you’re not gonna like it at first. L2s and mainnet derivative protocols start collapsing due to growing complexity and spread too thin liquidity. Ethereum lowers native stake to 1 eth to encourage stakers and build a deeper security blanket. In a bold move, OP, Base, POL, ARB join forces, creating a unified bridge. Ethereum codifies them up through an EIP, creating a universal evm bridge. Mainnet and all L2s can now interop without sacrificing separation and their sense of self. Everyone lives happily ever after.

It certainly is much more than it was in 2009. :) However - even buying a fraction of one is a good idea. BTC has been the best performing asset in human history. 15 years and close to a billion X. Many have kicked themselves for not just putting a few away when they were 10 cents each. What we have to look at now is BTC is starting to hit mainstream. there are ONLY 21 million of them. EVER. No more can be produced and the last one won't be mined for over 100 years. Also we have to consider that a couple of million have been lost permanently because people don't know where that laptop went, or they didn't keep track of their private keys. How many people are on the planet??? 9 BILLION or so? Yup. BTC, especially now that mainstream is adopting, is still a great buy. It is mathematically impossible for it to not continue to hit all time highs. As long as there is crypto, there will be BTC. And all you have to do is wait. The only people that have lost money with BTC are those that sold off in panic mode. HODL. It will get there. It will get back there if it's less than what you bought for. As with ANY investment - also never use your rent money. Always have an investment fund that doesn't bite into your rent and food money. Others that have a similar outlook - ETH, SOL, POL, LINK, AVE, BNB... Coinmarket cap - top ten will be a good bet. There are many meme coins that will do well also. But be careful with those... Most are pump and dump.

Been staking POL/Matic for a couple of years, bring it on!

tldr; POL serves as the utility token for two major crypto ecosystems: Agglayer and Polygon PoS. In Agglayer, POL stakers earn fees by supporting features like settlement, fast interoperability, and atomicity, with revenue scaling through network effects as more chains and assets join. For Polygon PoS, POL secures the network and validates transactions, supporting a thriving ecosystem with millions of users and high transaction volumes. Upcoming upgrades aim to enhance both ecosystems, increasing POL's utility and value for stakers. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Basically, the Agglayer fees collected will go back to POL stakers

How can I swap USD off polygon to btc without KYC? Thorswap doesn't have that option. I can choose POL (eth). But I don't think it'll recognize it as USDc on the polygon network. Any help Pls?

DryMyBottom

I know, wrong sub, but does anyone know about a legit POL faucet? I need a very little quantity and I remember a few years back there were several active faucets 🤔

frozengrandmatetris

here's the thing. making a nice place for people to interact with dapps doesn't necessarily do anything for the protocol's main currency. if you look at POL and Polygon PoS for example, the network is extremely performant and still has a decent amount of TVL. lots of people still use it. but the POL currency itself is totally useless as a speculative investment. people only need to have crumbs of it in their wallet in order to do whatever they want on the network. there is a real chance that the same thing can happen to ETH.

Greedy-Guarantee6667

Ive been going in on BTC and POL. I have a few meme coins for long term lottery tickets sitting back as well, but i do like 70/30 split for BTC/POL.

YaBastaaa

Have you wondered, what happened to MATIC ? is MATIC or POL a dead project now ?

jewellui

Messed up last cycle then bought BTC but later decided to take “a little” more risk for a little more return by rotating into mostly ETH and POL.

HSuke

POL, ETH, and USDC. Purely for utility. It's not for investing. I need it for gas and on-chain purchases, and I have enough to last 10 years.

noviwu97

If anyone still holding MATIC/POL after max supply increase, they deserved it tbh.

Suspicious-Holiday42

Maybe a new low for POL matic

ShivaDestroyerofLies

Did somebody piss in your cheerios? I feel like we are on a similar page but you come off as combative. Apologies if I’m misreading. Polygon is something that I dabbled in, I actually did fairly well with a short lived project on there but polygon never clicked for me and as time goes on it becomes more and more of a joke… I think people are still trying to figure out when they can swap MATIC for POL going off of comments in CEX groups. Can’t speak too much for or against polygon but it never felt promising to me and my experience there was pretty limited. Regarding the top altcoins, it is fair if you want to call it “trust me bro” but I don’t think that is a realistic summation. I do not believe we have actually seen a bull-run since last cycle. Bitcoin and Eth recovered on the backs of growing mainstream acceptance and Solana rocketed due to pump.fun & DogWifTools making it an ideal place to rip people off. Solana’s rise and fall can be directly charged using those two projects… Solana’s crash was initiated when DogWifTools rugged and now people are facing the reality that the chain was never anything but an overhyped casino. Having said that, I do believe there is a ton of potential and when people have discretionary spending to throw into crypto there will be another surge and much of that money will go to alts as it is easier to 10x a $30 coin than it is to 10x a $100k coin. Besides, there is a lot of innovation and growing institutional investment in alts that goes under the radar of the typical retail investor. They will wait to buy the top instead of understanding tech and buying the fear. But at the end of the day I cannot prove a pattern when we have one or two examples. Just like a rifle grouping, I think you need at least three examples before you can make a confident statement with anything real evidence to back it up. But if we apply basic inductive logic we can easily understand why things aren’t popping off right now. Many people did get rent by altcoins. I think that is due more to people buying the top and selling the bottom rather than anything shady though. People will snub a coin at $10 then buy it when it shoots to $300 over a week due to FOMO while mocking people who tell them to pump the brakes. That is bad investing by people who put greed and emotion over logic not the chains themselves. Now where I’m going to draw a line in the sand and hardcore disagree with you. No, it is not “fair to call them pump and dumps”. A “pump & dump” is an established and well defined type of scam whereby somebody intentionally manipulated the market to raise the price before dumping their asset. What you are describing with people buying at the top and getting rekt is more accurately a “bull trap”

MichaelAischmann

POL doesn’t perform though, sadly. My POL position on AAVE has halved in value despite interest.

If it's on /POL/ then it HAS to be true.

AgitatedDragonfly769

mventures

Thanks so much for the insight! Massive help. I haven’t been taking any liquidity of anything yet because I entered the crypto world with a hodl mindset for BTC/ETH and the alts too. But as I read more on the forum, I am beginning to wonder if I should liquidate some of the alts like AERGO, XLM, POL, ADA which I’ve been holding for a while, and just focus on BTC/ETH. I have other coins too but I got them only in January and perhaps will hold on to them till December, and see how it goes.

POL

Bralllt

It’s all about how much money can be made and almost everything else has had its run. POL provides the best return potential out of all the Long term trusted cryptos and considered by some a blue chip.

Bralllt

The purpose is for him to manipulate the market and front run behind the scenes. Why I expect $POL to get an influx of volume soon. As big money front runs the coming move.

Bralllt

$POL is about to take off as a sympathy beat down reversal play. Down Trend break on the daily incoming.

Bralllt

Buying POL before trump tweets about it.

Bralllt

$POL will be one. Getting in early

Bralllt

Why I am picking up some $POL before people catch on.

Bralllt

$POL is about to Break out.

Bralllt

$POL is providing the best Technical position for the mid term gains as having the past history of trading well over $1 many times.

justletmesignupalre

I think I recall a few tokens without ticker. Namely, when staking MATIC to their on-chain staking system, you would get nameless tokens as proof of stake (the system recognises your staked tokens via your wallet holding these tokens). I remember them not showing up on my wallet but showing up on etherscan, with no ticker. I don't know if after the migration to POL they kept the system.

DBRiMatt

Pretty much the same. After BTC, I'm still staking my ETH, POL/MATIC, ADA and FTM/SONIC - i'll check back in a few years and see if they've caught up or gone to 0. xD

_Commando_

Picked up some more ETH, ADA and POL today. Love a good fire sale.

Long_Lecture_1080

The bottom is 0. For coins like POL and TIA, that is reality.

jekpopulous2

It’s not just memecoins… it’s about an insanely saturated market. The last cycle everyone was rotating into the same coins. There were alt-L1s (SOL, POL, AVAX, FTM, etc…) with tons of users and tiny market caps, and then there were the DeFi projects on those chains generating tons of revenue. There was a consensus among the community on what was undervalued so all these tokens just took turns pumping ungodly amounts. Now there are dozens of L1s competing with dozens of rollups… each host hundreds of DeFi protocols and thousands of memecoins. There’s no consensus on what’s undervalued anymore so the money is all spread out. We never got a real consolidation phase this cycle which is the main precursor to alt-season.

kirtash93

POL undervalued gem.

tldr; In Q4 2024, Polygon made significant strides in blockchain technology, launching the Agglayer v0.2 testnet and planning a mainnet release for February 2025. The Agglayer aims to unify user bases and liquidity across chains using Ethereum as a settlement layer. Polygon's DeFi TVL ended at $871.5 million, with Aave as the largest protocol. The transition from MATIC to POL progressed, boosting POL's market cap by 31% to $3.8 billion. Developer growth remained strong, with 1,240 developers, and partnerships expanded with major institutions like HSBC and BlackRock. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

iso20022_

What?? Ofc not. Crazy that I even got downvoted for that. This sub reddit is really full of idiots.  First, there are already projects that hit max supply and had to extend their coins? Do yku wanna guess? Yes exactly, POLYGON! They rebranded to POL.  Second, blockchains are companies in the business of selling blockspace. If they are not able to make enough revenue through fees the only way is to print more tokens. That's why ETHs tokenomics are very strong. Next to, monero with its tail emissions. Tail emission means, thaz there is always the same output in every block for ever. Making it less inflationary every day. And yes even doge. Doge for example prints the same amount of tokens every year. Always 300million. Also uses tail emission. BNBs tokenomics are super strong too.  The only profitable blockchain is BNB btw. (Self reported, so you can doubt it). After that is ETH, and ETH is ver far away from being profitable. The rest of the chains all live on selling their own coins constantly.  Stop getting hyped by all this nonsense constantly. You may research this on your own. Google profitable blockchains and you will get the data immediately. 

Lufia321

Thank you! I bought POL, supplied it, borrowed WETH against it, swapped that for USDC and then supplied that as well.

kirtash93

Whole Ethereum ecosystem is sleeping at bargain prices. My bets ETH, POL and LINK. 

Lufia321

I thought of buying on DigitalSurge and then transferring POL to Kraken, sell and then buy something else. It would be cheaper than the deposit fee.

kirtash93

POL is up 5% since last super bowl that happened some hours ago 👀

Simple_Mastodon9220

POL

jwz9904

if you had POL stuck on FTX, you actually made a handsome profit

Tiny_Kangaroo

Finally dumped the rest of my POL but still holding on to some DOT that I have zero faith in.

Revolutionary_Owl670

MATIC is a gamble because people are so bearish on POL/MATIC due to their change in tokenomics, causing more dilution. That said, it still is a solid project and really depends, but also plays into ETH's success and ecosystem. It has more upside and downside than other projects like ADA or XRP, so if you want to take a riskier bet, but don't care about the money I'd just let that one ride. If you want more guaranteed stability just roll it into BTC.

uncapchad

Probably POL/MATIC. You get a regular dusting on that chain. As everyone else has said, do not touch, don't click, try redeem etc. There's no risk as long as you follow these rules

Blooberino

I forgot I had a chunk of MATIC in my wallet. Do I have to do anything with it to convert it to POL or is it interchangeable?

EthereumJesusBro

Fuck POL & DOT, all my homies hate POL & DOT

-PassCode

DYOR. Really, stay away from any with the name Trump, Elon, Moon… A few options in my portfolio, with real utility, include: - TIA (Celestia) Modular blockchain network. - POL (Polygon ex MATIC) Utility token. - OORT (OORT) Decentralised AI. - ERG (ERGO) Smart contracts. And bonus, I’ve not yet bought in, but currently considering VANA. Monetise personal data for AI training.

StateOptimal9119

I think POL will rip from here and perform better than BTC until this year.

YellowBook

Pauliuss

POL

AuspiciousEther

Looking at the long term DOT/ETH and POL/ETH charts, I'm actually quite pleased with ETH. Their long term performance against ETH is horrible.

kirtash93

My POL joined the chat to laugh at this rookie number.

noviwu97

DOT and POL. At least with ETH, you can use it for airdrop farming. DOT and POL only has staking

AdamFitri2005

POL prolly

jwz9904

Which is more disappointing? ETH, DOT, or POL

MichaelAischmann

I find validity in considering the coins I use as “important.” For example I earn, trade & provide liquidity for several Reddit Community Currencies on Polygon. These transactions require POL hence POL is important to me.

SevereArrivals

That's the only thing keeping the chain even alive. Don't know of any other reason to hold any POL apart from gambling on Poly

SevereArrivals

POL has no Dapps that people use so the utility just isnt there to be honest. ETH is fantastic but the layer 2 solutions allow people to use the network practically for free making ETH quite unnecessary. If we didn't have developed L2, the price of ETH would be much higher right now.

kirtash93

Really excited to see how mainnet brings more eyes into POL!

empresario88

A lot of coins with utility been performing like shit POL for example, and also ETH People like hype rather than utility.

Revolutionary_Owl670

LINK still looking kinda juicy at this price point. Also POL. I said it once and I'll say it again... It's going to blow up again sometime during this Bull Run and people are going to be left in the dust.

C-Class_hero_Satoru

No, it's POL (MATIC)

reelingfish95

Damn this sucks. Paying them 10% to hold my crypto and likely be making interest on it as well? Wish I had never used cdc--been on there since 2021. Down like 70% on POL anyway, so another 10% when I finally well is going to hurt even more.

KIG45

I just averaged my ADA and POL prices a little bit. Waiting for the Christmas increase xD

noviwu97

Anyone still holding POL is just high on hopium at this point

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Only some alts pump. It's not the same like 2021 when every shitcoin pumped. Look at ETH, it's still below previous ATH, look at FET, look at POL, they made x0

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Holding some, I was not lucky with my choice, ETH, FET, POL, INJ haven't made me any significant profit

Revolutionary_Ad3463

What is happening with POL and DOT? They seem to not be able to take off.

UhOhhh02

It’s way undervalued. Testnet has been launched so just a matter of when they release Mainnet. As you said, it’s an absolute game changer and the market has been sleeping on POL this cycle

Revolutionary_Owl670

POL is one of the better value altcoins if ETH begins to pop off. Their AggLayer sounds like a genuinely game changing project. Change my mind though, please. POL has generally seemed to loose hype/steam this cycle due to the MATIC > POL transition which is why I feel it's undervalued.

C-Class_hero_Satoru

POL x0, FET x0, ETH x0

EthereumJesusBro

POL/MATIC reaching half of its ATH is a meme

Advanced-Zebra-7454

I’ve been looking at Polygon recently, when generally considering coins that are notably low against BTC’s gains. I’m really not sure how POL’s price and MC can be so depressed considering the scope and established nature of its ecosystem. And I keep reading that it’s leading the way with esports and gamefi utility. Seems there must be a lot of upside? Would interested to hear more opinions.

badelectricity

MATIC was my best bag last cycle by far, wasn’t gonna touch it with a 10 foot pole this go around. It did so well last time because it was the leader of the ETH L2 hype/narrative. It doesn’t have that edge anymore and hype/narrative is elsewhere. POL/MATIC might do ok for the remainder of the cycle but I’m just not interested. Alts are hit it and quit it. Glad you made your money back.

winnie_the_ouhhh

Hm, I also believe that there will be a second revivalfor NFTs and therefore hold POL through the years

plasmalightwave

You mean POL to reach 70 cents?

C-Class_hero_Satoru

Until MATIC(POL) is less than 1 dollar, I don't believe that this is alt season

Agronopolopogis

I'm big on the ISO20022 standard being pushed by the BIS and WEF for the Basel3 compliance. Love it or hate it, central banks play a huge role in the global economy. So that narrows it to XRP XLM XDC QNT HBAR and maybe IOTA POL ADA I'm torn between XRP and HBAR, so do some research and decide for yourself. I'd swap it for CORECHAIN most likely, AERO second choice.

noviwu97

Things can randomly pump 100%+ in a day or two during a bullrun. But it sounds like you already lost conviction in POL/MATIC, therefore it's better if you swap it to something else that you have more beliefs in.

Is it regarded to convert all my DOT and POL to RENDER

HSuke

Fixed sipply currencies are usually still inflationary. Most of them will eventually have issues with their security budge in the future. Bitcoin is not sustainable in the long run. Even Algorand stated that they had issues finding enough validators because their security budget was non-existent. POL removed its supply cap to be sustainable, but with EIP-1559, it's still less inflationary than most cryptocurrencies with supply caps. Supply caps a deceptive tactic.

IcyLingonberry5007

Check out r/bucketheads and r/coneheads. Meme tokens on POL very small MCs.. Like a couple hundred k and 60k 😂 They could 10X or 1000X or even go to 0. Fun little communities though.. Personally i still feel Algo has room for growth but that MC i believe is over your threshold currently. 10X from here is around $4 so not out of the realm of possibility this cycle but definitely a bullish target..
