Polygon has become one of the most preferred layer 2 scaling solutions on the Ethereum Network. The chain has its own consensus mechanism and uses rollups to ease the load of Ethereum while maintaining security & low-gas fee transactions.
Launched in 2017 and developed by Sandeep Nailwal, Jaynti Kanani, and Anurag Arjun, Polygon has come a long way since then. From raising investments to becoming a key partner in the web3 smartphone space, here are the latest updates which will make you believe in the MATIC token.
Polygon Partnership with Nothing:
Nothing is a consumer electronic company founded by Carl Pei, the founder of the OnePlus Smartphone. The company is backed by Google Ventures and has launched its first web3-powered mobile device named Nothing.
The company also launched its own NFT called Nothing Community Dots. The NFT can be purchased from the OpenSea marketplace. Since it’s a web 3 smartphone, the technology used to access the NFT & the Ethereum or Polygon wallet is backed by Polygon technology. Marking the entry of MATIC into the smartphone market.

Terra Projects Shifting to Polygon:
After the fall of Terra LUNA, most of the projects are searching for alternatives and moving out of Terra blockchain. A switch to a better, safer and more reliable ecosystem. It is believed that almost 50% of the existing project on Terra have already made a plan to switch to the Polygon network and ditch Terra 2.0.
This is big news for the Layer 2 chain since it will not only boost the ecosystem but also give much-needed attention to the Polygon network.
Disney Accelerator Program:
Polygon is among the six projects to enter into the Disney Accelerator Program. The accelerator is a business development program designed to accelerate the growth of innovative companies from around the world.
The class is focused on building the future of specialized technologies & immersive experiences. The focus areas include Non-Fungible Tokens, Artificial Intelligence & Augmented Reality.
Polygon Funding – Solid Financial Support:
Polygon is one of the most stable crypto projects when it comes to finances. It raised $450 million from Sequoia Capital India in Feb 2022 to scale on Ethereum. The fund was raised in a private sale round by exchanging MATIC tokens against the allocated value.
SoftBank Vision Fund II, Tiger Global, Accel Partners & SteadView Capital are among the leading partners & investors of Polygon. Checkout the latest Polygon Network partnerships.
Polygon MATIC Price Prediction:
From these developments and many others, it’s clear – Polygon is going to be the centre of attention in the next bull run. The token has already surpassed the $2.50 mark last year. With the bull run about to resume anytime, MATIC is likely to go beyond $10.
