Matic Rebrands as Polygon to Take on Polkadot Network

Part of Matic’s rebranding to Polygon will also see the project working on a system similar to Polkadot on Ethereum, using multichain architecture for scaling.

Polygon uses Layer-2 secured changes and sidechains in its scaling solution for Ethereum. As well as Plasma and PoS which Matic pioneered, Polygon will use solutions like Optimistic Rollups, xkRollups, and Validium.

The project aims to allow projects to choose their own scaling solution rather than being forced into one option.

Polygon will create a “front against Polkadot” by enlisting Ethereum builders such as Anthony Sassano, Ryan Sean Adams, Hudon Jameson, and John Lilic as advisors. Polygon is also seeking new talent as it works towards further development.

Imagine still being bearish
