Amazing news! ETH scaling solution platform Polygon has announced details of a recent milestone achievement.
According to reports, more than 7,000 dapps have gone live on Polygon (MATIC) since its inception. This article covers important details about the Polygon ecosystem. And also what this milestone achievement means not just for Polygon but for the entire DeFi space.
DeFi, ETH, and Polygon
The decentralized finance (DeFi) and NFT space are experiencing increases in global awareness and adoption. Interestingly, both DeFi and the NFT space are currently one of the most sought-after aspects of the blockchain and crypto space. Also, with ETH’s serious scalability issues, dapps developers have had to look to other more scalable networks like Polygon. Polygon is well-known for its fast transaction speed, high throughput, and low transaction fees.
According to Alchemy, Polygon-based dapps rose by approximately 50% over the last four months. As of December 2021, the scaling solution platform had an estimated 7,000 dapps on its network.
As of October 2021, Polygon had an estimated 3,000 dapps on its network. However, by December 2021, this number has increased to over 7,000 dapps. Therefore, signifying a major growth spurt for the ETH-based scaling solution platform.
