Create a Token on Polygon — No Code
Polygon PoS is a long-running, EVM-compatible sidechain to Ethereum with some of the lowest fees in the ecosystem. Its native gas token is POL (the successor to MATIC), and ERC-20 contracts deploy here unchanged.
Gas & cost on Polygon
Polygon PoS gas is paid in POL and is famously cheap — fractions of a cent for transfers and only a few cents for a contract deploy even when the network is busy. Two-second blocks keep confirmations fast. Because costs are so low, Polygon is a comfortable place to deploy, test variants, and iterate without burning a budget.

Why launch on Polygon
Polygon has spent years courting enterprises, brands and game studios, so its ecosystem skews toward real-world usage: loyalty points, in-game assets, payments and large consumer drops. That maturity means deep tooling, broad wallet support and established bridges to Ethereum. If your token is tied to an app, a game economy, or a brand campaign that needs predictable low costs at scale, Polygon is a natural fit.
Key facts about Polygon
Polygon migrated its native token from MATIC to POL in 2024 as part of the Polygon 2.0 roadmap; POL now pays for gas on Polygon PoS.
The network has hosted major brand activations from companies like Starbucks, Nike and Reddit, reflecting its enterprise focus.
Polygon PoS produces blocks roughly every two seconds, giving near-instant confirmation for token deploys and transfers.
