Matic Network brings massive scale to Ethereum using an adapted version of Plasma with PoS based side chains.

Matic Network solves blockchain scaling problems by building a decentralized platform using an adapted version of Plasma framework that provides a solution for faster and extremely low-cost transactions with finality on the main chain.

The system ensures liveliness using PoS checkpoints which are pushed to the Ethereum mainchain. This enables a single Matic sidechain to theoretically achieve 2 16 transactions per block, and possibly millions of transactions on multiple chains in the future.

Scalability – Scalability is realized by using a decentralized Plasma operator mechanism with finality achieved on a main chain.

High Throughput – Can scale to millions of transactions on a sidechain tree architecture. Upto 65k transactions/second on a single Matic chain.

Security – The Matic chain(s) operators are themselves Stakers and Delegates in a Proof-of-Stake system in the Matic Network.

User Experience – Smooth UX abstraction from mainchain to Matic chain. Native mobile apps and SDK with WalletConnect support.

“Decentralized Apps are making huge progress but the current blockchain ecosystem is not prepared to scale as per the demand. The issues of slow block confirmations and high gas fees need to be solved before we target mass adoption by mainstream users. And most importantly, it needs awesome user experience. We aim to change that by simplifying the interaction between users and the decentralized world. We want to make interacting with the decentralized ecosystem so easy that anyone can do so without worrying about the complexity of the system.”
