I was bullish on Polygon (Matic) until a few days ago when the blockchain halted due to an error. The devs applied a hotfix but the bridge will be down until a permanent fix is applied. It is problematic for me that such errors in blockchains occur.

No system is perfect. Even those networks who claim to be extremely secure and reliable, can often experience "hiccups" along their journey. It'll be up to developers to mitigate these issues in order to keep the Blockchain as stable as possible. While MATIC was certainly a victim of a network outage, it's still a far better choice than Solana. The project is close to Ethereum by having a similar codebase.
Most people are not aware of Polygon's true benefits, so the token itself (MATIC) is having a hard time reaching a higher price/valuation on the market. At least, development is on-going. Who knows what will be of this exciting smart contract platform by the end of the year? Just my opinion
