Matic’s daily trading volume of over $250 million exceeded the daily volume of larger projects like Cardano, Monero, and IOTA.
More Than 610% Gain In a Month
Since the start of May, the coin has gained over 610%. The key feature of MATIC Network is definitely scalability; meaning fast, low-cost and secure transactions on Matic sidechains with finality achieved on mainchain and Ethereum as the first compatible Layer 1 basechain.
Also, there is high throughput – achieved up to 10,000 TPS on a single sidechain on internal testnet; Multiple chains to be added for horizontal scaling.
User experience shows smooth UX and developer abstraction from mainchain to Matic chain including native mobile apps and SDK with WalletConnect support and security is guaranteed by Matic chain operators being themselves stakers in the PoS system.
Matic sidechains are also public in nature (vs. individual DApp chains), permissionless and capable of supporting multiple protocols.
