TechFlow, November 26 — Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon and CEO of the Polygon Foundation, posted on social media discussing whether exchanges should be asked to change the token ticker back from POL to MATIC.
Sandeep Nailwal said he has continuously received feedback from the Polygon trading community that MATIC is a stronger and more familiar trading symbol, with historical depth and recognition, making it easier to remember. "The grocery store owner in the Philippines or an Uber driver in Dubai knows MATIC, but now doesn't know where it went."
Sandeep Nailwal added, "My current stance is: the user disruption would be too great. We've already migrated to POL, so let's stick with it, as enough people now understand it. I'm genuinely curious what the broader user base thinks, as similar feedback keeps coming up. Of course, there's no guarantee exchanges would agree to make the change."
