Polygon is a secondary scaling solution on the Ethereum blockchain. Though its compatibility isn’t the same as native Ethereum tokens, there are some features you lose when switching from the main Ethereum network to other compatible networks.

The most obvious is security. In terms of computing power, Ethereum is stable, secure, and <may soon become cheaper>. But we can’t say the same for MATIC or similar tokens that have already been vulnerable to hacks and scams.

When you transact on a blockchain, you want your transactions to be final. And Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only cryptocurrencies that guarantee this.

Hence, the very same reason why multibillion-dollar corporations do not relocate to third-world countries with low tax rates, few to no operating restrictions, and little to no government intervention. And this is why ERC-20 tokens haven’t moved to other Ethereum-compatible blockchains for lower fees.
