Polygon (POL)

Polygon uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism secured via Ethereum Mainnet. Validators validate checkpoint data and POL holders can delegate tokens to earn staking rewards without running infrastructure.

Pier Two offers secure, non-custodial staking on the Polygon network — tailored for institutional teams and platforms. All POL remains in your control the validator is operated by Pier Two’s high-performance infrastructure.

Whether you're staking 1,000 or 1,000,000 POL, Pier Two provides the tooling, integrations, and uptime needed for scalable staking operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I retain custody?

Yes. Your tokens stay on the Polygon protocol and remain accessible for withdrawal through the wallets or custodians you control.


Can I be slashed?

No. Polygon does not implement a slashing mechanism.


Are rewards automatically compounded?

No. Rewards must be manually claimed and redelegated if you wish to compound.


Why is Polygon staking conducted on Ethereum?

Polygon’s staking contracts live on Ethereum for security and decentralization. Checkpoint validation is secured via Heimdall and smart contracts hosted on Ethereum Mainnet.
