Convergence Finance Offers $MATIC Private-Sale Tokens to the Public
Convergence Finance is thrilled to announce the private sale of Polygon’s tokens $MATIC on Convergence Offering (ConvO). This offering will kick start the private-sale series of existing prominent projects to make private markets public apart from the previous pre-IDO offerings. Convergers will be able to access prominent project tokens at a reduced price as compared to the market price which is not publicly available, this also enables price discovery of the corresponding project token during the lock-up period of the future tokens.
About Polygon
Polygon (previously known as Matic Network) is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications.
Using Polygon, developers can create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, stand-alone chains or any other kind of infra required by the developer.
Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). This multi-chain system is akin to other ones such as Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche etc. with the advantages of Ethereum’s security, vibrant ecosystem and openness.
The $MATIC token will continue to exist and will play an increasingly important role, securing the system and enabling governance.
$MATIC Token Usage
Polygon’s native token $MATIC is an ERC-20 token that is used to power Polygon, the gateway to a Multi-Chain Ethereum.
The MATIC token serves dual purposes: securing the network via staking and being used for the payment of transaction fees.
- Fees: The MATIC token is used to pay fees for transactions taking place on 400+ Dapps running on Polygon
- Staking: Validators and delegators secure the network by staking their MATIC in the staking contracts, which are used to achieve consensus and ensure the security of the network.

- Stake 50,000 CONV
- Stake 50,000 CONV worth of CONV-ETH LP at ConvPool; or
- Stake 50,000 CONV worth of CONV-USDT LP at ConvPool
View here to check whether you are eligible for premium pool and details on how to upgrade to participate in premium pool for a higher chance of whitelist selection and larger ƒMATIC allocation size.
Please note that Stakers of 50,000 CONV or equivalent value of Conv-LP will be entitled to (1) lottery ticket in the premium access pool. Each staker is allowed a maximum of (10) lottery tickets per 50,000 CONV holding. View here for more details on the premium pool lottery tickets.
Regardless of how users are participating in the premium pool, users must stake their CONV/LP tokens with an average of at least seven days before the KYC is sent to successful whitelisted addresses, which is from 22 December 2021 8:00 UTC to 28 December 2021 8:00 UTC, to secure a spot in the premium pool.
