Polygon started from the early Matic Network's low-cost Ethereum expansion network and evolved into a multi-layer expansion infrastructure including Polygon PoS, zkEVM, CDK, AggLayer, and POL token conversion. In 2023, Polygon 2.0 proposed to redesign the protocol architecture, token economy, and governance with the goal of “Value Layer of the Internet,” and in 2026, the official website positions Polygon as an infrastructure focused on “global payments” and “open money stack”.
