Episode notes

Polygon is upgrading its Matic token to something called poll. This one poll token is now going to power all of the chains. So that's polygon super nets, polygon ZK EVM. Lidium already powers the proof of stake change and they're chain and they're going through a rebrand of it. No longer will it be called Matic, it will be called Paul, P O L.
