After the market entered a shortened bleeding phase, it has since rebounded to a stable foothold in preparation for a possibly bigger rally by year\u2019s end. However, some altcoins continued to trend downward with MATIC being one of them. According to <\/span>Coingecko<\/span><\/a>, the token is down almost 10% in the weekly timeframe.<\/span><\/p>\n Although the bears have a slight chokehold on MATIC\u2019s market, there is some on-chain news that keeps the token afloat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Polygon recently posted on their <\/span>blog<\/span><\/a> about the newest addition to their CDK. <\/span>Gateway<\/span><\/a>, a blockchain infrastructure-focused team, integrated cdk-erigon into Polygon\u2019s CDK. According to the blog post, Erigon is a fast, high-efficiency node that will bring a better user experience for developers building on Polygon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Need for a Public RPC infrastructure in #defi<\/a>? We got you covered \ud83d\ude0e<\/p>\n Our team is happy to announce that we have become the RPC provider infrastructure for Stellar @StellarOrg<\/a> \/Soroban @SorobanOfficial<\/a> Public RPC infrastructure. @gateway_eth<\/a> head of infrastructure,\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/c3jEMToFoP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Gateway FM (@gateway_eth) September 28, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201c<\/span>Erigon is known for being memory-optimized, and so is cdk-erigon. Compared to the zkNode on Polygon zkEVM (of which Polygon CDK is a fork), cdk-erigon uses 10x less disk space with +150x faster sync times on mainnet,\u201d the Polygon team said in the blog post.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This new addition will attract more developers to the platform. It can already be seen happening, with six projects testing the new Polygon CDK with the cdk-erigon integration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Polygon also iterated that the system will be available as an RPC node for the protocol\u2019s zkEVM Mainnet Beta next year.<\/span><\/p>\n As of writing, MATIC bulls are trying to reverse the current downward trend that the token is on. However, they might need to settle for a lower, more stable price point around $0.7550. This will provide investors and traders with a stable jump-off point for higher gains before the year\u2019s end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But MATIC bulls should consider the current phase of the network. Last September, the Polygon dev team <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a> the implementation of Polygon 2.0, an upgrade that would change the network\u2019s token from MATIC to POL. According to MATIC\u2019s Coingecko page, the upgrade from MATIC to POL has been initiated on the Ethereum mainnet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nUpdate On Polygon\u2019s Chain Development Kit (CDK)\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n
