    Matic is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to improve scalability and user experience. It is not an ERC20 token itself, but rather a separate blockchain that is interoperable with Ethereum. Matic uses a modified version of the Plasma framework to achieve faster and cheaper transactions. It has its own native token called MATIC, which is used for staking, governance, and as a medium of exchange within the Matic ecosystem.
