We reach a new milestone today for Polygon 2.0! <:polygon:1095500499131846746>
POL, the technical upgrade to MATIC, is hyperproductive, an ecosystem of zk-based L2 chains via a native re-staking protocol.
POL holders will be able to validate multiple chains and perform multiple roles on each of those chains (sequencing, zk proof generation, participation in data availability committees, etc.)

FAQ:
1. Is there anything I need to do today as a Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM user or MATIC holder? Nothing. This upgrade does not change active systems on either the Polygon PoS or Polygon zkEVM networks at this time. All existing contracts will function as previously designed. If you would like to join the governance process and give your input, you can join the discussion on the forum.
2. Is there anything I need to do today as a node operator or staker? Nothing. You can provide feedback on the proposed changes in the PIPs and monitor Github and the forum for new node software versions to remain compatible with your given chain when PIPs are approved by the community.
3. Is there anything I need to do today as an application or tooling developer? Nothing. Please engage with POL integrations on the testnet, review the PIPs, provide feedback on the proposed changes and analyze if any changes break your smart contracts. Developers for applications on the Polygon PoS should not see any breaking changes.
