We are happy to announce our strategic partnership with Polygon, a leading full-stack Ethereum scaling solution, to advance play-to-earn games. This partnership will see Polygon investing and staking $DG tokens in Decentral Games, and by joining the ecosystem of Polygon’s Gaming and NFT arm – Polygon Studios, we will integrate Polygon’s Proof-of-Stake blockchain to achieve a new level of scaling and enhancement.
As more users join the Metaverse, we are constantly looking for ways to solve pain points around scalability. With this partnership, we aim to:
- Speed up in-game transactions at lower costs which are also completely carbon-neutral
- Eliminate outages and long maintenance periods
- Improve interoperability between Ethereum-based projects which ensures increased liquidity and seamless cross-chain asset transfers
About Polygon and Polygon Studios
Polygon is a well-established framework preferred by many decentralized applications and fintech institutions leveraging Ethereum’s ecosystem. Its market capitalization has witnessed a tenfold growth due to increased adoption, reaching over $11 billion.
Polygon Studios – Polygon’s latest Gaming and NFT arm, is focused on growing the global blockchain gaming and NFT industry while bridging the gap between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. Their ecosystem currently includes a list of popular games and NFT DApps.
We are strong believers in Polygon since building Layer 2 on Polygon in 2019. Our contributions since then have become one of the most significant sources of transactions on the Polygon network. Decentral Games’ investment in $MATIC last year to secure the network as a validator node has now generated $1.9 million in revenue and continues to generate over $50k monthly for our DG DAO treasury.
Currently, we are the third-largest node on Polygon with over $131 million of $MATIC worth of transactions, which creates an additional source of revenue for $DG token holders through running the node.
What The DG Community Can Look Forward To
“Polygon is establishing a clear path to mainstream adoption for crypto gaming and NFTs, while quickly becoming the 4th largest DeFi protocol in liquidity boasting over $6 billion in assets.” Decentral Games Founder, Miles Anthony commented. “I am confident this strategic partnership with Polygon Studios will bring significant value to the DG community and adequately prepare us for our upcoming Play-to-Earn ICE Poker launch.”
Shreyansh Singh, Head of Gaming and NFTs at Polygon, said: “Polygon is thrilled with the developments made by Decentral Games thus far, and we look forward to partnering with them as they continue to innovate and diversify what they can offer as a blockchain entertainment platform and Metaverse.”
Given our recent $5M capital raise and solid financials, we are set to accelerate the course in developing the metaverse and play-to-earn economies. We are excited for you to experience a more seamless gaming experience very soon and help us make mainstream adoption of play-to-earn games a reality.
