Polygon PoS


Project Links


Description

Polygon PoS is a live proof-of-stake blockchain presented in the linked section as Polygon Chain. It executes EVM transactions off Ethereum, uses Heimdall consensus and Bor execution layers, and periodically anchors state to Ethereum. Polygon positions it as a fast, low-cost settlement chain for stablecoins, businesses, institutions, and applications.

Polygon Liquid Staking


Project Links


Description

Polygon Liquid Staking issues sPOL, a yield-bearing receipt token, at a 1:1 exchange rate for staked POL that appreciates over time as staking rewards accrue. The protocol enables stakers to retain liquidity by deploying sPOL across DeFi while earning a share of validator priority fees through sPOL-enrolled validators on Polygon PoS.
