The recently teased developments look to cap a year that has ushered in big changes for the Ethereum scaling solution amid a significant directional shift.
2023, the Year Polygon Went Multichain
In 2023, Polygon has revamped its entire roadmap—the new vision: a network of ZK-powered Layer 2 application chains. The move comes as the Ethereum scaling vision has gone multichain.
Several big developments have come from this transition, including the launch of the Polygon zkEVM chain in March 2023 and the launch of the Polygon Chain Development Kit (CDK) in August 2023, which allows projects to easily spin off ZK-powered Layer 2 chains that will share liquidity as part of the planned Polygon ecosystem. Polygon is also replacing MATIC with POL , a token serving the envisioned multichain ecosystem.
Amid these changes, Polygon has continued to attract big partnerships throughout the year, including SK Telecom , Mirae Asset Securities , Google Cloud, and OKX .
On the Flipside
- The impact of the teased developments remains to be seen.
- Despite Polygon’s technological advancements in 2023, MATIC remains 74% below its all-time high of $2.92, trading at $0.7570, according to CoinGecko data at the time of writing.
Why This Matters
The teased announcements could affect the Polygon ecosystem’s direction and MATIC’s price.
