Because of this, some of the most well-known companies in the sector, such as Nike, Reddit, and Starbucks, have shown interest.
Other Popular Blockchains
According to the statistics provided by NFT Tech, Immutable X is the second most popular shape after Polygon. Palm and a few other shapes come in third and fourth place, respectively.
Expansion and Transaction Volume Surge
In addition, Polygon has been seeing expansion and a surge in the transaction volume on Polygon zkEVM, which has reached record highs.
According to the statistics, a week-over-week gain in total value locked (TVL) was 70% more than the previous week, making it the most extraordinary surge since its debut. As of press time, Polygon’s TVL stood at $977.97 million.
Additionally, the record for the most significant successful transaction volume in a single day was set on May 14 at more than 13,000. While transaction costs on other blockchains, such as bitcoin’s, increased in the thick of the meme currency craze, Polygon’s fees decreased even during the most significant activity time.
This is another noteworthy point to notice. In addition, the positive transaction data has increased the price of MATIC by 3.7% over the last twenty-four hours. At the time of publication, data from CoinMarketCap indicates that MATIC is trading at $0.8813.
