Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Matic Network white paper |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | The 2019 Matic paper for a Plasma-inspired sidechain with a proof-of-stake checkpoint layer posting to Ethereum. Polygon is the later organisation and product family. This page is about the 2019 document, not about every subsequent Polygon stack. |
| Who may write | Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun |
| What is settled | Block producers on the sidechain, with staking and a checkpoint commitment upward. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Do not describe today's Polygon PoS chain as 'the Matic white paper, implemented verbatim'. |
| What this library says afterwards | A checkpoint of a hash is not a validity proof. The paper's security story has to be read for what it actually checks. |
