Polygon’s co-founder said even small merchants and drivers recognized MATIC, but many struggle to locate POL since the token’s rebrand.
Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal spurred public discussion about the project’s token branding, asking the community if the network should consider reverting its ticker from POL to MATIC.
On Wednesday, Nailwal said that while he personally thinks that they should stick to POL, he continues to hear feedback that the original MATIC ticker had stronger recognition, especially among retail users who are now confused about the asset’s whereabouts.
“The counter-argument I keep getting is: the guy in the Philippines running a sari-sari store, or an Uber driver in Dubai, knew MATIC… and now he has no idea where it went,” he wrote.
