## What it is
Ethereum smart contracts implementing the business logic of the Matic Network (Polygon PoS), including main chain and side chain contracts. This repository has been migrated and is no longer in use; development continues at 0xPolygon/pos-contracts.

## Use cases
- deploy polygon pos staking contracts
- audit matic network smart contract logic
- run hardhat tests against a mainnet fork of polygon contracts
- simulate a local bor side chain with docker
- extend or fork polygon pos contract system

## When to choose
- you need to inspect or fork the historical Matic/Polygon PoS contract code
- you are auditing older deployed Polygon contracts

## When to avoid
- you want active development or the latest contracts - use 0xPolygon/pos-contracts instead
- you need a general-purpose smart contract framework

## Facets
