How to Buy Polygon

(MATIC)

What is Polygon (MATIC)?

Polygon was previously known as the Matic Network and it’s one of the biggest “layer-2” protocols on the Ethereum network. DApp (Decentralized Application) users and developers can use the Polygon Network to conduct fast transactions for lower costs. Polygon was founded by Jaynti Kananim, Sandeep Nailwal, and Mihailo Bjelic. Kanani was previously a Data Scientist for Housing.com, while Nailwal worked for Deloitte.

What can you do with Polygon?

Hold MATIC

Many people buy MATIC for profit expectations and benefit from its long-term gains. If you have a "buy-and-hold" strategy, we recommend transferring your coins to a cold hardware wallet like Ledger Nano. Having said that, CoinSmart has taken several security measures to ensure user fund protection. These include – mandatory 2FA, withdrawal confirmation emails, cold storage & BitGo user funds insurance.
