Polygon seals several high-profile partnerships
Over the years, Polygon has sealed several partnerships with high-profile firms including Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software company, Salesforce. The idea was to enable clients to create NFT-based loyalty programs. It has also partnered with Immutable to build a dedicated gaming blockchain using zero-knowledge technology. Ryan Wyatt, President of Polygon Labs stated:
Partnering with Immutable is a monumental step forward in our mission to empower developers and enable users to truly own their in-game assets. By leveraging Immutable’s top world-class gaming platform, game development becomes seamless, allowing for the creation of rich and unique gaming experiences.
Some of the biggest gaming projects and publishers including Ubisoft, Atari, Animoca, Decentraland, Somnium Space, and The Sandbox are already building on the network. The polygon ecosystem has about 220 million unique user addresses with tens of thousands of decentralized applications and several major enterprises.
A Blockchain Games Report published by DApps analytics platform DappRadar disclosed that the number of Unique Active Wallets engaging with games on the network hit 138,081 in March. This is a 53 percent increase from February. This places it ahead of Hive and BNB which had 84,000 and 80,000 UAW respectively. The growth was linked to the Hunters On-Chain game by BoomLand which saw UAW increase by 17,000 percent in 30 days.
The Report reads:
Polygon, a blockchain previously known for Defi DApps overtook Hive this month and secured the second spot. This is a positive sign for network, as it is now gaining recognition as a gaming blockchain.
As of press time, MATIC was up by 3.3 percent in the last 24 hours and was trading at $0.99. In the last seven days, the price has fallen by 14.7 percent.
