Is MATIC being restored... The co-founder of Polygon proposed a community discussion on the token name change.

Polygon(MATIC) co-founder Sandeep Nailwal proposed discussing the restoration of the originally used token name “MATIC” at the community level. His reasoning is that since the token branding change, there has been ongoing feedback from users experiencing confusion.

Naival stated on the 1st (local time) through his personal X (formerly Twitter) account: “I personally believe it is correct to maintain the new code POL, but I continue to hear voices that retail investors have a stronger awareness of MATIC.” He specifically gave examples: “Grocery store operators in the Philippines or Uber drivers in Dubai remember MATIC, but now they don’t know where it went.”

Since last year, Polygon has been restructuring its roadmap, replacing the “MATIC” Token with “POL” and defining it as the foundational asset of the new network ecosystem. However, there are ongoing opinions within the community that investors' perception of the brand remains at the MATIC stage.

Naival said he “hopes to understand the overall opinion of the community” and solicited fans' opinions on whether it is appropriate to restore from POL to MATIC. He added, “Since this issue continues to be raised, it needs to be discussed seriously.” Polygon has not yet responded to inquiries from foreign media regarding their stance on this matter.
