Polygon has Polygon PoS Chain and
Polygon zkEVM. Polygon PoS is Ethereum sidechain. While, Polygon zkEVM is a
layer 2 solution, EVM-compatible that support smart contracts and dApps.
Polygon currently ranks 14th
largest cryptocurrency by market cap. It has market cap of $9.618 billion and
fully diluted market cap of $9.976 billion.
The reason MATIC price is sideway is
because total value locked of both Polygon PoS and Polygon zkEVM don’t grow.
Polygon PoS currently has $972 million
TVL and Polygon zkEVM has $14 million TVL. Polygon is 5th most
widely used blockchain for NFTs.
Polygon CDK is growing.
Polygon CDK is a modular
blockchain development kit that allow developers to launch their own zkEVM
chains.
Polygon CDK is a modular
blockchain development kit because
it allows developers to add Celestia’s data availability plug-in. Celestia’s DA
can help CDK chains reduce transaction fees.
Now the number of Polygon CDK chains are growing. And the number of TVL within the Polygon CDK chains are growing as well.
Layer 2 chains that powered by Polygon
CDK including Immutable zkEVM, Manta Pacific, Astar Network, and X1 from OKX. These Polygon CDK chains are interoperable with one
another.
Polygon zkEVM and Polygon CDK
are one of the best layer 2 technology because ZK rollups rely on mathematical
security.
POL token.
Polygon will migrate its native
token from MATIC to POL. Users can swap MATIC for POL when Polygon launches POL.
MATIC is designed to use for
staking and paying transaction fees on Polygon PoS. But POL designed to use for
staking and paying transaction fees on all Polygon chains.
Not only POL can provide
security on multiple chains but POL can also use for providing data
availability.
MATIC is immutable token.
While, POL is mutable token.
In conclusion, Polygon can have
valuation similar to Avalanche in either market cap or fully diluted market cap.
Avalanche currently has $13.8 billion market cap and $26.3 billion fully diluted market cap. Polygon can either have $13.8 billion market cap or $26.3 billion fully diluted market cap.
