- “This has 2 advantages: it gives Ethereum-based finality to the PoS chain & it will possibly assist the chain get well in case of catastrophic occasion. This additionally implies that Polygon is paying Ethereum to make use of its blockspace (in ETH) & paying for it to safe the contracts & checkpointing.“
