There is a proposal to transition the native token of the Polygon PoS network from MATIC to POL. Please find more information [here](https://polygon.technology/blog/polygon-2-0-implementation-officially-begins-the-first-set-of-pips-polygon-improvement-proposals-released).

To engage with the Polygon PoS network, users must use MATIC tokens, which are necessary to cover gas fees for transactions, smart contract interactions, and part of the network's security model via staking.

This is an [example script](https://gist.github.com/rahuldamodar94/ea3bc4c551e6fc2d318767dcd7e5bffe) to send MATIC tokens from one account to another on the Polygon chain.

MATIC tokens can be acquired through methods such as validator rewards, staking, or by purchasing them on the open market.

Validator and staking rewards will now be distributed in the form of POL tokens.

You can obtain test MATIC for testing purposes on the Amoy testnet. Testnet tokens don't hold any real-world value. This can be done via the Polygon faucet in the following way:

The Amoy testnet serves as a replica of the Polygon mainnet and is primarily used for testing. Obtain testnet tokens from the [faucet](https://faucet.polygon.technology/). Note that these tokens hold no value and differ from MATIC.
