Polygon

MATIC

Polygon is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to improve scalability and usability without sacrificing decentralization. To achieve this, Polygon employs the Plasma framework and the More Viable Plasma (MoreVP) consensus algorithm to ensure the security and integrity of its network. Polygon is interoperable with Ethereum, allowing users to move their assets between the two networks seamlessly and aims to provide a more user-friendly and efficient blockchain platform for developers and users.

Staking Mechanics

Metrics
Reward Frequency	Rewards are earned every ~30 minutes (1 checkpoint)
Auto-compounding	Manual
Slashing	Partial slashing if the validator misbehaves. You get 2%–5% for double signing events
Stake Lockup	None. But rewards will be generated from the next checkpoint from the time of stake
Unbonding Period	During unbonding, the staked amount is locked up for 3-4 days (80 checkpoints)
