WILL POLYGON (MATIC) STILL BE NECESSARY AFTER ETHEREUM 2.0 IS LIVE?



Aggregation about the long-awaited Ethereum update has been circulating in the crypto community for a while. Phase 0 started in December 2020. Phase 1 and 1.5 are planned for 2021. The final release and full phase 2 will be finalized sometime in late 2021 or 2022.

Trending Coin Polygon (MATIC)

With the release expected for 2021, the integration of the PoS Shard Chains will begin. How does the start of these upgrades affect the tokens, especially Polygon (MATIC)?

Polygon is a Layer-2 (L2) scaling solution designed to improve the adoption of the Ethereum blockchain. It has successfully addressed the rising issues with ETH adoption such as network congestion, slow transaction speeds, and low throughput. This has often resulted in high transaction fees (gas fees) for users. As per CoinGecko confirmed, the coin ranks # 1 in the top 30 trending coins.

Will Polygon (MATIC) still be necessary when ETH 2.0 is live?

Will Polygon still be necessary after ETH 2.0 is live? This was one of the topics of discussion in a recent Unchained podcast. Jaynti Kanani, Co-Founder, and CEO of Polygon made a clear statement.

ETH currently supports around 1.5 million transactions/day, while Polygon can confirm around 7 million transactions/day. With increasing demand and scalability around the upcoming upgrade, the number of transactions will skyrocket.

Kanani added:

I am 100% sure that in a few weeks, ETH 2.0 will be overwhelmed with the demand.

Ethereum 2.0 should become 64 times more scalable

Matic has had a lot of success lately, and the price hike is particularly convincing. Mark Cuban invested a significant undisclosed amount after MATIC's price rose 9000% this year.

Future plans of Polygon (MATIC)

Regarding the network's upcoming updates, Kanani stated:

We do optimistic rollups, zk rollups, data availability chains, Polkadot-like substrates, standalone chains, where teams can come and create their own parachains, like with Ethereum.

These statements clearly show that the Polygon (MATIC) team will not be deterred by the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade and would like to continue playing. Even if Ethereum 2.0 won't have any problems, Polygon (MATIC) has a raison d'être.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
