Districts · Sidechain satellite towns
Polygon PoS
A sidechain with its own validator set — a satellite town linked to Ethereum only by bridges.
Polygon PoS, which started in 2020 as Matic Network, is one of the oldest chains built to scale Ethereum. It is a sidechain secured by its own validators.
Low fees and a long track record have made it popular for payments, games and enterprise services. Since September 2024 its gas token has been POL rather than MATIC.

How it looks in the city
It is a satellite town across the river to the south. Because its own validators secure it rather than Ethereum, the city draws it as linked to downtown only by bridges. Building height is the market cap of this district’s main token.
