Polygon 2.0 Leaps Forward:POL Contracts Active on Ethereum Mainnet

Author : Pushpala Srihari

Polygon Labs is thrilled to announce a crucial milestone in the Polygon 2.0 journey, with the launch of POL contracts on the Ethereum mainnet. This significant development, a result of months of dedicated effort, community engagement, and a successful testnet phase, marks a transformative step towards establishing the Value Layer of the Internet.

POL, a pioneering hyperproductive token, is set to drive a comprehensive ecosystem of zero knowledge-based Layer 2 chains. It incorporates a unique re-staking protocol enabling POL holders to validate multiple chains and assume various roles, including sequencing, ZK proof generation, and participation in data availability committees.

This upgrade ushers in the next phase of the ambitious Polygon 2.0 roadmap. Key future initiatives include launching a new staking layer for powering Polygon L2s, transitioning Polygon PoS to zkRollup, and introducing a sophisticated, ZK-powered interoperability and shared liquidity protocol for all Layer 2 networks.

Polygon Labs invites the community to follow the journey through the Polygon 2.0 roadmap, stay updated via our blog and social channels, and actively engage in this innovative phase.
