Migrate MATIC to POL Starting September 4th
2024-08-30 by SLM.Games
DearSLM.Games andPolygon community,
On September 4th, the Polygon network will undergo an upgrade, during which the originalMATIC token will be renamed asPOL
For All MATIC HOLDERS

- September 4th is the expected mainnet date for theMATIC →POL upgrade
- As the upgrade to MATIC, in the initial phase, POL will become the gas and staking token of Polygon PoS
- In subsequent phases, the community can decide to expand the utility of POL to serve a crucial role in the AggLayer
- Holders of MATIC on Polygon PoS won’t have to take any action
- Holders of MATIC on Ethereum, Polygon zkEVM and in CEXes may have to migrate (see below and look for communications from third parties)
- MATIC stakers and delegators on Ethereum do not need to take action
For All SLM.Games Players
- In your SLM.Games account, you’ll have balances for bothMATIC andPOL
- After September 4th, you’ll be able to deposit and withdraw both tokens as usual
- Once you’ve withdrawn all your MATIC after September 4th, any new deposits will be credited as POL
