Polygon: a bright future or forgotten technology?
Polygon is the first Layer 2 blockchain. The initial placement of the project took place on April 24 2019, on the Binance Launchpad platform and two years later, on December 27, 2021, an ATN of 2.92 USDT was reached.
Project development dynamics
For several years, the project was for the most part, if not in oblivion, then in the shadow of other similar and all sorts of "killers of Ethereum". The project reached a wave of success in 2021, having caught the eye of large public investors and built partnerships with popular brands. In May and June 2021, Polygon received support from billionaire investor Mark Cuban, who revealed plans to integrate his NFT Lazy.com platform with Polygon. To date, Polygon has various partnerships with:
Web3. It is claimed that the Metaverse economy, by 2030, will reach $13 trillion, with much of it developed on the Polygon network. Citigroup also believes Polygon will become widespread because of its low transaction fees and developer-friendly ecosystem.
A report from blockchain analytics company Messari, showed that in the third quarter of 2022, the number of active MATIC addresses increased by 180% in the second quarter, and the total number of transactions for the quarter was 2 billion.
In 2023, despite the market correction, the project has made significant strides, both in development and partnerships. In the last couple of weeks, partnerships have been reached with Google Cloud and Franklin Templeton to tokenize large-scale financial products for its DeFi, etc.
Sotheby's, which accounts for 24% of the world's art auction sales, announced that its trading floor has launched on Ethereum and Polygon.
Polygon's GitHub has recorded a significant increase in the number of code commits and the number of kernel developers since early May.
Recent technical news for the project has been the launch of Polygon zkEVM, a zero-disclosure scaling solution equivalent to the Ethereum virtual machine. This means that most existing smart contracts, developer tools, and wallets will be able to work seamlessly. Polygon zkEVM leverages ZK proofs to reduce transaction costs and increase throughput while keeping Ethereum secure.
Polygon launched three updates on May 3 to make it easier for developers to integrate decentralized identity into dApps: new features in Polygon ID infrastructure tools that include improved integration, UX, and a host of new tools to help developers who build dApps.
A new issuer node interface that will make it easier to set up, manage and work with the issuer node. In addition, push notification support is provided in the mobile SDK and in the app reference implementation.
Developer tools and updates such as JWZ Validator, Polygon ID smart contract deployment on the core network and the recently announced PolygonID DID resolver.
Outlook for Matic
Today, the L2 solutions niche is actively filling and expanding, with projects and their ecosystems competing with each other for developers and users to form a better L2 ecosystem.
Matic's direct competitors, Optimism and Arbitrum, launched in mid-2022 and March 2023. These projects, as well as Matic, aim to make transactions cheaper and increase throughput. After the release of these projects, Matic actively began to lose the volume of transactions within the blockchain and the number of unique active addresses.
Zero Knowledge-based projects zkSync and StarkNet are currently being prepared for release and will also be in the L2 solution race.
Matic lost its unique advantage of being the only project with the best user experience and now the project team is looking to create partnerships with established web2 businesses and prepare projects for mass adoption. Only with these products, Matic will be able to regain its dominance amongst the other L2 solutions.
At the moment, the price of Matic is approaching the key support zone of 0.78-0.68. Potential zones for growth are shown on the chart in terms of historical analysis.
