2022-10-21 12:34:17 Believe it or not, this is not a fantasy.

Two of the world’s biggest trends & most innovative technologies - Esports & #Web3 - are coming together #onPolygon!

Welcome to FanGuild- an e-sports fantasy platform built on Polygon.

Esports is a borderless phenomenon where players, fans & organizers invest time and effort, agnostic of each other’s nationalities.

#Web3, on the other hand, provides digital identities, economies and experiences for people across the globe without discrimination.

Here’s how FanGuild & Polygon are bringing a positive impact on fantasy gaming

1. Easy access to a global table where participants from across the globe can compete against each other for one single contest.

2. Transparency around transactions — each contest details will be on chain alongside pay-ins (entry) before game starts and payouts (rewards) after the contest ends.

This will result in removal of any potential manipulation of prize pools.

3. Using stablecoins which are used across most countries, FanGuild enables faster and efficient mode of transactions without going through hassles of traditional banking.

4. All Esports enthusiasts may not have their own wallets which is why there will be an in-game wallet to make the onboarding process seamless.

Polygon is proud and humbled to provide a robust public infrastructure for people from around the world to interact with each other at so many levels.

We are thrilled to be a part of this journey with them.

2022-10-20 09:34:53 #Polygon is taking Nubank from #Web2 #Web3!

In a strategic partnership with Polygon, #Nubank is launching its own chain using #PolygonSupernets & thus its digital token Nucoin #onPolygon

This move will open the gateway for 70 mn+ Nubank users to the #Web3 space

Nubank, the largest FinTech institution in Latin America, joins a long list of global companies like Robinhood, Starbucks, & Stripe that choose Polygon as their entry point to Web3.

Nubank's goal is to develop a token economy to reward their most loyal customers with Nucoins.

“Nucoin is yet another way of recognizing the 70 mn+ users who trust our products by bringing some of them to be part of the creation process. We want to break paradigms and revolutionize the way companies reward people who use their services.”
- F. Czapski, GM for Nucoin

Polygon is thrilled to facilitate this transition from Web2 to Web3 for Nubank and we’re committed to supporting them throughout this exciting journey.

2022-10-10 19:14:24 The future of Ethereum is #onPolygon.

When we unveiled Polygon #zkEVM in July, it was a milestone not only for Polygon, but also for Ethereum & Web3.

We're proud to announce Polygon zkEVM Public Testnet, the world's 1st open source zkEVM network!

Read more

To accelerate the testing process, two of the biggest DeFi platforms — #Aave and #Uniswap, as well as web3 social platform #LensProtocol and gaming studio #MidnightSociety will be among the first to join the testnet and help us take Polygon zkEVM to the mainnet!

Using zero-knowledge (ZK) tech to scale the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a big challenge. We want to keep what we love about Ethereum while harnessing the power of ZK proofs.

Today, we take another big step towards scaling that doesn’t sacrifice EVM equivalence.

Polygon zkEVM Testnet is the first zkEVM network with a full-featured, open source proving system.

We’re showing our work because we believe in Ethereum's core values - transparency and open source development.

Now it’s time to push what we’ve built to its limits.

Polygon zkEVM is not perfect yet, and that’s why we need you!

We invite you to join the testnet and help us battle-test, learn fast, improve and speed up the journey to mainnet!

Polygon zkEVM Testnet is live and available to everyone:

2022-09-29 17:10:53 An important notification:

#Polygon has integrated #PushProtocol, previously known as Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS).

RT: https://twitter.com/0xPolygon/status/1575487160589099010?t=u1dd7y3XVceex5koagE10A&s=19

This will enable seamless, #Web3-native communication to thousands of Polygon apps and millions of active users.

Polygon app developers can immediately begin integrating Push into their apps, launching channels and enabling notifications for users.

Start here: https://app.push.org/

Enhancing user experience is critical for rapid mass adoption of #Web3 products and services.

Integrating Push Protocol addresses the lack of communication between apps and users. Thus improving the overall user experience in Web3.

37K+ apps are built #onPolygon!

It is an opportunity to create custom communication channels and user-based messages that users, developers, and stakeholders will benefit from.

Polygon is the go-to platform for Web2 institutions to onboard into Web3, such as

#Meta
#Stripe
#Starbucks
#Adobe

The new dApps built by these institutions will offer the same experience that their users are used to today using Push Protocol #onPolygon.

Push’s mainnet launch was in January 2022. Since then, the protocol has powered:

17 million notifications
on 100+ channels
to ~60,000 subscribers!

Making it the largest decentralized communication platform in Web3.

“By unlocking instant, direct notifications within the Polygon ecosystem and beyond, Push evolves the services many of us take for granted — bringing us one step closer to a truly composable and decentralized web.” - #SandeepNailwal, Co-Founder of #Polygon.

Users expect applications in Web3 to provide a similar standard of user experience as they do with the applications they currently use daily.

Users will now have the same experience they do today #onPolygon while using Push Protocol.

The shift from #EPNS to #Push is a big transition for them.

We wish them all the love for this evolutionary process and are thrilled to partner them in building Web3 in the best possible way. Open / Comment

2022-09-29 12:07:54 #Coorest, a Polygon-native project, is the first #Web3 project to have an officially verified carbon standard, The Coorest Carbon Standard (CCS).

RT: https://twitter.com/0xPolygon/status/1575411520875667456

But what is it?


It is a new standard and methodology for carbon compensation based on blockchain technology & geospatial satellite data.

The CCS is certified by an official United Nations auditor, which makes it a legitimate carbon compensation method.

#Polygon is not only carbon neutral, but also has a firm commitment to bring sustainability into the Web3 space.

An accessible way of compensating carbon footprint will not only positively impact Web3 but will also add to the well-being of the environment.

#Coorest is turning this into reality.

It has the explicit goal of disrupting the worldwide carbon market by making carbon compensation
Easy
Transparent
Accessible
for everyone.

Coorest takes advantage of blockchain’s innate immutability and its permanent record, resulting in complete traceability and accountability.

Additionally, this removes intermediaries, allowing everyone with an internet connection to compensate for their carbon footprint!

The creation of an on-chain alternative to the conventional carbon offset market will help Web3 projects achieve carbon neutrality.

But this is only a small part of what is about to happen.

2022-09-28 12:03:36 Guess who’s in the hood!

Robinhood’s Web3 Wallet beta is now live exclusively #onPolygon!

With this launch, #Polygon & #Robinhood are bringing millions of customers to on-chain #DeFi via low gas infrastructure.

Faster transactions
Near-zero network fees
Robust developer ecosystem
Carbon neutral scalability

These are few of the many reasons why Robinhood selected Polygon as the 1st blockchain network to support its self-custody wallet.

During the beta, Robinhood users can seamlessly:

Trade & swap crypto with no network fees
Earn crypto rewards
Safely store & track blockchain portfolio
Connect to dApps

NFT features are not currently available for beta, but it is planned for the full launch.

Decentralized, secured, and most importantly, an easily accessible ecosystem are the core principles of building #DeFiForAll.

Aligned to Polygon’s commitment to the Web3 community, Robinhood’s GM & CTO, Johann Kerbat said:

“Like we did with the stock market, Robinhood Wallet strips away some of the complexities of Web3 and DeFi to make crypto more accessible to everyone.”

The self-custody wallet is an approachable, low-cost standalone app with a simple and accessible design.

This launch marks a significant step towards making Robinhood the most trusted and simple crypto platform for customers.

We’re beyond thrilled to be part of this journey and look forward to the road ahead!
