Polygon 2.0 Plans Unveiled: What’s Coming Next?
Polygon’s Ethereum sidechain keeps on developing. Apart from the challenges and circumstances that Polygon had to face during its last Bull Run, made MATIC fall below $1. MATIC is the native currency that went below its support level before crashing the spot level is now expected to rise again with the launch of Polygon 2.0, and would help MATIC to regain its lost legacy.
The core objective of Polygon’s new launch is to affirm the Polygon network as more user-friendly, secure, reliable and scalable. To achieve the mentioned agenda, Polygon is going to leverage an advanced mechanism, POSL (proof-of-stake liquidity) which is more efficient as claimed by the developer’s community.

In Polygon 2.0, the team is making some important changes to how things work. Validators will need to invest their own tokens and provide funds to join the network. Validators’ funds will boost liquidity in decentralized exchanges (DEXes) on the sidechain. With Polygon 2.0, DEXes will have more funds, making token trading quicker, cheaper, and smoother for users.
Will MATIC hit $1?
This launch of Polygon 2.0 is now kick-starting its role in fueling a network of ZK-based layer-2 chains. Although MATIC is a versatile token for transactions, governance, and staking rewards, still it is uncertain if this will push MATIC to $1. MATIC has risen 30% from its October 2023 lows, recovering from a dip on October 17, and is trending upwards.
