The company recently announced plans to launch an ecosystem chain leveraging Polygon’s Chain Development Kit (CDK). The move is part of its plans to boost FireDrops, its Web3 loyalty program. The announcement was made at Polygon Connect India.

Polygon added that “future upgrades to Polygon CDK will also allow for enhanced privacy for transaction data, the ability to run the chain without a token or to use a central bank digital currency, and access to liquidity in the greater Polygon and Ethereum ecosystems.”

FireDrops plans to enable customers with a history of using a brand to unlock more incentives and receive early access to in-demand products. The idea is to create more engaging ways for customers to earn rewards from their preferred brands.

FireDrops launched in September. And seems to have recorded impressive success. The team claims to have attracted over 3.3 million wallets with at least one non-fungible token (NFT). It also capitalizes on the achievements of prior pilot programs in which users acquired NFTs and membership passes through interactive engagements.

In addition, FireDrops strategically endeavors to improve the adoption of Web3 in India. So, the partnership with Polygon will help fortify user engagement and loyalty programs within the Indian e-commerce sector.

Conclusion

Polygon CDK has a reputation for helping projects easily launch ZK L2s on Ethereum. Noteworthy projects like OKX and Astar have already harnessed the user-friendly capabilities of CDK for developing ZK Layer 2 solutions on Ethereum. So, Flipkart’s decision to leverage this tool mirrors its ambition to improve the e-commerce space in India.
