Polygon 開始代幣交換，以允許更多發行

從 Polygon 的 MATIC 代幣遷移到 POL 還將帶來一些代幣經濟變化，新的排放率為每年 2%。

Layer-2 blockchain network Polygon (MATIC) began a planned token swap on Wednesday, switching out its older MATIC token for the new POL token in a move designed to allow for more flexibility on issuance of new supply.

第 2 層區塊鏈網路 Polygon (MATIC) 於週三開始計劃進行代幣互換，將舊的 MATIC 代幣替換為新的 POL 代幣，此舉旨在讓新供應的發行更加靈活。

The swap is set to start at 4 a.m. ET (8 a.m. UTC), according to a countdown timer on Polygon's website. The planned switch was originally disclosed more than a year ago, in July 2023.

根據 Polygon 網站上的倒數計時器，交換定於美國東部時間凌晨 4 點（世界標準時間上午 8 點）開始。計劃中的轉換最初是在一年多前（即 2023 年 7 月）披露的。

While the planned switchover is being closely monitored, since the MATIC token is widely held across crypto investor portfolios, the changeover is expected to happen automatically for most users, without any action on their part.

雖然計劃中的轉換正在密切監控，但由於 MATIC 代幣在加密貨幣投資者投資組合中廣泛持有，因此預計大多數用戶將自動轉換，而無需他們採取任何行動。

The migration is part of a planned revamp laid out last year in Polygon's “2.0” roadmap, which aims to make POL the native token of its main chain – known as the Polygon PoS chain – and eventually other chains in the ecosystem.

此次遷移是Polygon 去年制定的「2.0」路線圖計畫改造的一部分，該路線圖旨在使POL 成為其主鏈（稱為Polygon PoS 鏈）的原生代幣，並最終成為生態系統中其他鏈的原生代幣。

According to Polygon, in the initial phase of the migration, “POL replaces MATIC as the native gas and staking token for the Polygon PoS network. In subsequent phases, POL will serve a crucial role in the AggLayer.” The AggLayer is another element of the roadmap, essentially a system for aggregating affiliated blockchains built using Polygon technology.

據 Polygon 稱，在遷移的初始階段，「POL 取代 MATIC 作為 Polygon PoS 網路的原生 Gas 和質押代幣。在後續階段，POL 將在 AggLayer 中發揮至關重要的作用。 AggLayer 是路線圖的另一個要素，本質上是一個使用 Polygon 技術構建的聚合附屬區塊鏈的系統。

There are proposals for POL to support broader roles in the Polygon staking hub – to be released in 2025 – including block generation, zero-knowledge proof generation and participation in Data Availability Committees (DACs).

有提案要求 POL 支持 Polygon 質押中心發揮更廣泛的作用（將於 2025 年發布），包括區塊生成、零知識證明生成以及參與數據可用性委員會（DAC）。

“This community-driven upgrade comes at a crucial moment when every aspect of Polygon is changing,” a blog post read.

一篇部落格文章寫道：“這次社區驅動的升級是在 Polygon 的各個方面都在發生變化的關鍵時刻發生的。”

The migration from POL to MATIC will also bring in some tokenomics changes. Polygon said the token will have a new emission rate of 2% annually, where part of the supply goes to validators on Polygon PoS for rewards, and the other part to the community treasury, “a self-sustainable ecosystem fund that can support the above activities.”

從 POL 到 MATIC 的遷移也將帶來一些代幣經濟學的變化。 Polygon 表示，該代幣將有每年 2% 的新發行率，其中一部分供應給 Polygon PoS 上的驗證者以獲得獎勵，另一部分則進入社區金庫，「一個自我永續的生態系統基金，可以支持上述活動。

“The biggest reason why the upgrade was needed from a technical perspective, is that the MATIC upgrade keys were burned very intentionally years ago. Which basically means that we can't make changes to that token,” said Marc Boiron, CEO of Polygon Labs, in an interview with CoinDesk. “So one of the things that we wanted was to introduce emissions that way. We could use it for the community, we could use it for growth. It was literally impossible to do that otherwise.”

「從技術角度來看，需要升級的最大原因是 MATIC 升級金鑰在幾年前就被故意燒毀了。這基本上意味著我們無法對該代幣進行更改。 「所以我們想要的事情之一就是以這種方式引入排放。我們可以將它用於社區，我們可以將它用於成長。否則的話，實際上是不可能做到這一點的。

Boiron reiterated that introducing emissions is supposed to help the Polygon community ecosystem by introducing a grants program as part of the community treasury, allowing them “some form of control by the community over the funds so that you can grow the ecosystem.”

Boiron 重申，引入排放是為了幫助 Polygon 社區生態系統，通過引入贈款計劃作為社區金庫的一部分，允許他們“社區對資金進行某種形式的控制，以便發展生態系統。”

“And then the second one is a means for, effectively, validators to receive emissions,” Boiron added. “Effectively, if you think of these new chains that pop up, what's going to happen is that with time, they're going to want to decentralize. And so instead of just having a centralized sequencer, they're going to need to incentivize people to actually run a decentralized group or a decentralized prover. And if they don't have a token, or if they don't want to launch a token yet, how do they do that? Well, effectively, what this does is that a portion of that POL emissions can actually be used to decentralize their network, and then POL holders will then receive fees from that network.”

「第二個是驗證者有效接收排放的一種手段，」布瓦龍補充道。 「實際上，如果你想到這些突然出現的新連鎖店，隨著時間的推移，將會發生的事情是，他們會想要去中心化。因此，他們需要激勵人們真正運行一個去中心化的小組或一個去中心化的證明者，而不是只擁有一個集中的排序器。如果他們沒有代幣，或者他們還不想發行代幣，他們該怎麼做？好吧，實際上，這樣做的目的是，POL 排放量的一部分實際上可以用於去中心化他們的網絡，然後 POL 持有者將從該網絡收取費用。
