I spent hours digging and found 100s of REAL-WORLD BUSINESSES building on top of @0xPolygon
A thread on why Polygon is the top choice for businesses, why that is important, and why I'm so excited for Polygon's future 🚀
@0xPolygonLabs has been bringing real value to the crypto space by facilitating real-world use cases
Other than Ethereum, I dare say Polygon is the top chain at this
This isn't your ordinary "moon" hype – it's about tangible impact on the global economy
(1/19)
How did @0xPolygon position itself to be the TOP choice?
This is because they are:
• 1 of the most popular EVM chain: Home to 223M unique wallets w/ $1.04B TVL
• Committed to being environmentally friendly: No potential backlash from launching on Polygon
(2/19)
@0xPolygon also offers users:
• Affordable transaction fees: Avg < $0.015 & up to 10,000x cheaper than Ethereum
• Smooth user experience: Throughput of up to 7,000 TPS, with further scaling in its roadmap
• High security: ~$4B staked to secure the network
(3/19)
Successfully onboarding businesses compounds Polygon's:
• Credibility: Polygon has passed the DD of large corporations
• Network effect: More users + more use-cases
This creates a powerful flywheel effect that drives EVEN MORE real-world adoption
(4/19)
To understand how powerful the flywheel is, imagine the following scenario:
You're now the head of a company, would you set up a shop in:
1. Flourishing, populated land w/ proper laws & functioning economy
OR
2. Barren, unpopulated, and lawless land w/ poor economy
(5/19)
Most companies would choose 1, and that's @0xPolygon
Even GPT4 agrees with this choice 😎
