#Polygon

Migration to POL should be undisturbing for all - a promise Polygon aims to keep for its developers and users. Reimagining the MATIC token, they propose it to function both as gas and as the main token within the Polygon environment. And yes, POL staking is on the table. Continuity is key: the redefined POL token's code will preserve its features, safeguarding compatibility. The grand finale, Polygon 2.0's definitive update, is slated for a next-year debut.

The company has unveiled a new proposal, known as Polygon Improvement Proposal (PIP-29), to establish a 13-person protocol council.

Hackers managed to drain 6000 ETH, 3.9 million USDT, 1.1 million USDC, and 900,000 DAI from the company's address. Tongue-in-cheek, one might say Drake was responsible for the audit. UPD: Hacken has disclosed that an initial cyber theft of $20.69 million was executed on the Ethereum network, which was followed by subsequent heist amounting to $25.6 million across the BSC and Polygon networks. The project's team has not yet commented on the breach. The only information available is a Telegram channel update, indicating technical maintenance for the withdrawal of ETH, USDT, and ERC20 tokens.

Polygon Labs has launched its Chain Development Kit (CDK), a software tool designed to help developers create Ethereum Layer 2 chains powered by zero-knowledge proofs. The toolkit will support an "Interop Layer," a new protocol that aggregates zero-knowledge proofs from multiple Polygon chains and secures them on the Ethereum mainnet. This move aligns with Polygon's shift towards creating more interconnected chains, similar to ecosystems like Cosmos and Polkadot.
