The price of Polygon (CCC:MATIC-USD) has gone up by around 25% this week on the heel of several exciting developments. The MATIC-USD crypto gained popularity this year after presenting a layer-2 scaling solution, which helps to lower transaction fees on the Ethereum (CCC:ETH-USD) blockchain. Earlier this year, Polygon’s team also unveiled Polygon Studios, which plans on committing $100 million to projects leading the transition to Web3. Some of Polygon Studios’ current investments include DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG) and Avocado Guild.
Polygon recently announced a partnership with GameOn Entertainment (OTCMKTS:GMETF) as well to develop NFT-based (non-fungible token) games. The partnership will have Polygon Studios provide 50% of non-dilutive funding for ongoing product development costs. Specifically, the funding will help GameOn spearhead the creation, minting and selling of NFTs on the games it currently operates.
GameOn CEO Matt Bailey had this to add about the recent partnership:
“Leveraging Polygon’s technology, GameOn continues to lean into blockchain and NFTs, bringing innovative gamification to the rapidly growing Web3 and metaverse economies […] Through resource-driving partnerships and M&A, we’ll continue to double down on being the one-stop shop for gamification, including NFT-based games.”
Additionally, fans of MATIC will want to mark their calendars for Dec. 9. This is because the Polygon team will be hosting the “Zk Day” summit then to discuss zk scaling, which is a proofing algorithm that could possibly change the future of blockchain computing. The letters “zk” stands for “zero knowledge.” The algorithm promises to make transactions more secure, decentralized and reliable.
Don’t take this news lightly — the Polygon team announced on social media that zk scaling is “the most promising solution for scaling #Ethereum.” Further, Polygon piqued fans’ interest when it stated it would be making a surprise announcement at the summit.
So, with all these exciting developments coming to fruition, let’s take a look at the Polygon price predictions that crypto analysts have in mind.
