Please provide a brief overview of how to upgrade MATIC to POL

Created by Mayank Singhal, Modified on Fri, 2 Aug at 1:18 PM by Mayank Singhal

  • For holders of MATIC on Polygon PoS, no action will be required. 
    POL will be upgraded automatically to become the native gas and staking token on Polygon PoS without lifting a finger.


  • For holders of MATIC on Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM, or centralized exchanges (CEXes), some action may be required if a user desires to upgrade MATIC to POL. 
    When MATIC holders are ready to upgrade, a migration contract that is already deployed will enable holders to upgrade MATIC to POL on Ethereum permissionlessly.
