<p class="is-style-lead">Deutsche Telecom has announced that it’s now part of the Polygon (MATIC) validator ecosystem, and offering users staking services, while also helping in securing the Ethereum blockchain layer-2 scaling blockchain network.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="deutsche-telekom-adds-support-for-polygon-matic">Deutsche Telekom adds support for Polygon (MATIC)</h2>



<p>Deutsche Telekom MMS, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, the largest telecommunications company in Europe by revenue, has become a <a href="https://crypto.news/polygon-and-uniswap-prices-are-flat-inqubeta-is-positioned-to-rally/">Polygon</a> validator, effectively expanding its node validation operations which already support established proof-of-stake (<a href="https://crypto.news/proof-of-work-vs-proof-of-stake-which-has-the-more-profitable-projections/">PoS</a>) based networks like <a href="https://crypto.news/ethereum-developer-says-now-anyone-can-launch-a-token-in-less-than-a-minute/">Ethereum</a>, Chainlink, Flow, and others.</p>



<p>Per a press release by the team, the latest collaboration, which has made Deutsche Telekom one of the only 100 Polygon validators, will enable it to provide staking and node validation services for both Polygon and Polygon <a href="https://crypto.news/ankr-partner-with-polygon-to-enhance-web3-development-for-supernet-developers/">Supernets </a>solutions.</p>



<p>Built upon the Polygon edge framework, supernets is simply a network of custom-made nodes designed to power an application-specific environment. </p>
