Polygon 开始代币交换，以允许更多发行

从 Polygon 的 MATIC 代币迁移到 POL 还将带来一些代币经济变化，新的排放率为每年 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 层区块链网络 Polygon (MATIC) 于周三开始计划进行代币互换，将旧的 MATIC 代币替换为新的 POL 代币，此举旨在让新供应的发行更加灵活。

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.

根据 Polygon 网站上的倒计时器，交换定于美国东部时间凌晨 4 点（世界标准时间上午 8 点）开始。计划中的转换最初是在一年多前（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.

虽然计划中的转换正在受到密切监控，但由于 MATIC 代币在加密货币投资者投资组合中广泛持有，因此预计大多数用户将自动发生转换，而无需他们采取任何行动。

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.

此次迁移是 Polygon 去年制定的“2.0”路线图计划改造的一部分，该路线图旨在使 POL 成为其主链（称为 Polygon PoS 链）的原生代币，并最终成为生态系统中其他链的原生代币。

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.

据 Polygon 称，在迁移的初始阶段，“POL 取代 MATIC 作为 Polygon PoS 网络的原生 Gas 和质押代币。在后续阶段，POL 将在 AggLayer 中发挥至关重要的作用。” AggLayer 是路线图的另一个要素，本质上是一个使用 Polygon 技术构建的聚合附属区块链的系统。

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 质押中心发挥更广泛的作用（将于 2025 年发布），包括区块生成、零知识证明生成以及参与数据可用性委员会（DAC）。

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

一篇博客文章写道：“这次社区驱动的升级是在 Polygon 的各个方面都在发生变化的关键时刻发生的。”

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.”

从 POL 到 MATIC 的迁移也将带来一些代币经济学的变化。 Polygon 表示，该代币将有每年 2% 的新发行率，其中一部分供应给 Polygon PoS 上的验证者以获得奖励，另一部分则进入社区金库，“一个自我可持续的生态系统基金，可以支持上述活动。”

“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.”

“从技术角度来看，需要升级的最大原因是 MATIC 升级密钥在几年前就被故意烧毁了。这基本上意味着我们无法对该代币进行更改。”Polygon Labs 首席执行官 Marc Boiron 在接受 CoinDesk 采访时表示。 “所以我们想要的事情之一就是以这种方式引入排放。我们可以将它用于社区，我们可以将它用于增长。否则的话，实际上是不可能做到这一点的。”

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，引入排放是为了帮助 Polygon 社区生态系统，通过引入赠款计划作为社区金库的一部分，允许他们“社区对资金进行某种形式的控制，以便发展生态系统。”

“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.”

“第二个是验证者有效接收排放的一种手段，”布瓦龙补充道。 “实际上，如果你想到这些突然出现的新连锁店，随着时间的推移，将会发生的事情是，他们会想要去中心化。因此，他们需要激励人们真正运行一个去中心化的小组或一个去中心化的证明者，而不是仅仅拥有一个集中的排序器。如果他们没有代币，或者他们还不想发行代币，他们该怎么做？好吧，实际上，这样做的目的是，POL 排放量的一部分实际上可以用于去中心化他们的网络，然后 POL 持有者将从该网络收取费用。”
