Polygon, also previously known as the Matic Network, is a layer two solution built to be a scalable and more simple framework for building Ethereum-compatible blockchains. Polygon looks to address the main limitations of the Ethereum network - throughput, a deficiency of community governance and inferior user experience - by improving the security, efficiency, and usefulness of the network. Polygon does this by providing tools to enhance the speed and reduce the cost and problems that arise for transactions made on the blockchain network .Polygon is a layer-2 network, acting as an additional layer to Ethereum which does not change the original Ethereum blockchain layer. The multi-chain system is similar to others like Polkadot and Cosmos, but in addition has Ethereum's security, ecosystem and openness. The MATIC token is the cryptocurrency of Polygon and is used as the unit of payment for governance, staking and gas fees between users that interact on the network.

Why buy Polygon (MATIC) with Elbaite cryptocurrency exchange? Elbaite is the first non-custodial wallet-to-wallet Australian cryptocurrency exchange.
Unlike other Australian crypto exchanges that hold your cryptocurrency in their own centralised wallets, Elbaite's wallet-to-wallet trading means that your Polygon is not held by us at any point.

How do I store my Polygon (MATIC)? There are many Ethereum-based wallet options you can explore when it comes to safely storing your Polygon, including using hot and cold crypto wallets. Conducting your own research is crucial to keeping your Polygon safe.
What are Hot Wallets?
Hot wallets are crypto wallets that are connected to the internet. They offer better accessibility which simplifies more frequent trading. However, they offer less security against hacks and fraud incidents.
What are Cold Wallets?
Cold wallets are crypto wallets that are not connected to the internet. The two main types of cold wallets are paper wallets and hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger wallets. Cold wallets are a popular option for those who value security, or for traders holding Polygon as a long term investment.
