Abstract
This proposal specifies the activation of a number of changes to layer 1 contracts for the Polygon PoS chain, enabling the MATIC to POL migration.
Motivation
As specified in PIP-19, the POL token represents the next-generation native token of the Polygon PoS chain. This upgrade will combine a series of PIPs that enable the MATIC to POL migration in one transaction payload, which will ensure backward compatibility.
Specification
The migration will include the following PIPs:
- PIP-19: Update Polygon PoS Native Token to POL
- PIP-41: Enable Direct POL Emissions to StakeManager.sol
- PIP-42: Polygon 2.0 - Upgrade PoS Staking to Use POL
Backwards Compatibility
This PIP will be backward compatible with the current implementation of the existing layer 1 contracts.
