The Polygon network is a decentralized Ethereum scaling platform and enables scalability and infrastructure development for DApps. The Matic network is an implementation of the Plasma framework for ETH and in the bigger picture, aims to provide off/side chain solutions for blockchains in general.
Matic uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS) at checkpointing and block producers at the block producer layer. This helps achieve faster blocktimes as well as a high degree of decentralization.
With the help of Polygon, any project can have a dedicated and optimized instance of Ethereum combining sovereignty, scalability and flexibility with Ethereum’s interoperability and developer experience.
The total MATIC supply is capped at 10 billion coins and more than 37,000 DApps have utilized Polygon already.
Correlation shows how closely two variables move in relation to one another. In investing, this relationship is expressed numerically and ranges between -1.0 and 1.0.
A correlation of 1 is a perfect positive correlation. In this case, as one security moves, the other security moves in the same direction by the same percentage.
A correlation of -1 is a perfect negative correlation. As one security moves, the other moves in the opposite direction.
A zero correlation implies no relationship between the two securities.
