 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Polygon" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/polygon.html">Polygon</a> (MATIC) price was trading near $0.78 on Monday as the Ethereum scaling solution moved closer to its Etrog mainnet <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="upgrade" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/upgrade.html">upgrade</a>.
 The altcoin, which rose to above $0.79 amid a 20% spike in trading volume, was among the few cryptocurrencies in the top 20 by market cap to hover flat as Bitcoin retreated below $43k to mirror US stock declines.

 Last month, Polygon Foundation announced a 10-day countdown to the activation of the Etrog upgrade on mainnet.&nbsp;
 As noted in a blog post, the upgrade is for Polygon zkEVM and is set to bring support for pre-compiled smart contracts. The release is expected to transform the zkEVM closer to a Type 2 ZK-EVM, – that is, an EVM-equivalent ZK rollup.
 With the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="upgrade" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/upgrade.html">upgrade</a>, developers can deploy their code on <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Polygon" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/polygon.html">Polygon</a> zkEVM just as they would on Ethereum. According to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Polygon" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/polygon.html">Polygon</a> Foundation, devs only need to “copy-paste and go, no modifications necessary.”

 The next upgrade for Polygon zkEVM will, effectively, make the network a Type 2 ZK-EVM. What does that mean for developers? It means that you can deploy your code on Polygon zkEVM exactly as it is on Ethereum—just copy-paste and go, no modifications necessary.

 The 10-day countdown for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="upgrade" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/upgrade.html">upgrade</a> means the expected mainnet release is on Tuesday, February 6.
 Ahead of this milestone, MATIC price rose from an intraday low of $0.76 to $0.79 before retesting the support area amid today’s broader crypto lull.
 If a breakout materializes in coming days and weeks, the Polygon token could target an extended run above the psychological $1 level. A breakdown however could push MATIC/USD to the 2023 support base around $0.5.
