According to Alchemy, the world’s leading Web3 developer platform has shown that since its debut, the Polygon network has hosted over 7,000 dapps. This is a very important milestone that the network surpassed in December 2021.
Last year, the exponential growth of new applications in DeFi and NFTs caused spiking fees on Ethereum. To take advantage of low costs and fast transactions, much of the activity went to Polygon. By October 2021, the network had grown to nearly 3,000 dApps, up from only 30 a year ago.
