What holding it gets you
Polygon
Its pages do not say what holding it gets you
That is worth knowing before buying. A coin nobody needs is priced on hope.
- Nothing the project's own pages spell out.
That is all a market cap is: today's price times the coins in public hands. It moves every time the price does. It says what buyers are paying, not what the coin is worth.
Polygon says it is a blockchain built for moving money and assets around the world quickly and in large amounts.
Problem it says it solves: payments. 28 coins we have checked say the same; together they are worth $1,749,068,786,288.
