Why Polygon?
Polygon is an efficient Layer 2 blockchain that can overcome most of the problems in the Ethereum blockchain. Without compromising on the Blockchain Trilemma - which is the balance of Security, Decentralization, and Speed, Polygon has achieved a low latency and gas fee when compared to Ethereum.
Polygon currently has around 7000 DApps and more than 120 million unique addresses which implies the huge adoption happening. Polygon also has huge backing provided by the top VCs in the world. Since the base layer is Ethereum, developers can use Solidity for developing apps on Polygon. Polygon also has several updates in its roadmap that it will attain in the near future.
One of the most critical decisions in a blockchain-based platform like Sagaverse Games is choosing the blockchain it should work on. There will be a good number of transactions happening in such platforms and for this, an efficient blockchain like Polygon is what is needed. Recently the Gaming and NFT arm of Polygon, Polygon Studios, which is led by the former Head of Gaming at Youtube announced $100 Million for expansion in this space. All this makes Polygon the best choice of blockchain for a gaming and NFTs platform like Sagaverse.
In short, Sagaverse chose Polygon because it have,
- very active and huge user base
- strong and successful builders and team
- around 10,000 Transactions Per Second
