Polygon is a well-structured, easy-to-use platform for the scaling of Ethereum and infrastructure development. It combines the Plasma framework and the PoS blockchain architecture. Through the use of Polygon, optimistic rollup chains, Zk rollup chains, stand-alone chains, etc., can be created. The network effectively transforms Ethereum into a multi-chain system. Its native token is $MATIC, which is an ERC 20 standard token powered by the Ethereum blockchain and is used for payments on Polygon and the transaction fees on Polygon sidechains.
Whereas Polygon witnessed another big thing when DraftKings, a digital sports entertainment and gaming company, joined the Polygon ecosystem. It has joined as a validator and node operator. This step marks the first time that a publicly-traded firm has taken part in blockchain governance.
Polygon validators check the authenticity and validity of the transactions on the network and earn rewards via the PoS model.
According to Polygon, this decision by DraftKings, which is a NASDAQ-listed company, to join the Polygon network is a significant step in the adoption of blockchain technology.
