Your interpretation is the crypto version of Farmer and Snake.
Polygon has achieved today's Polymarket, without Polygon's support, there would be no Polymarket today
@Polymarket was established and deployed on Ethereum as early as 2020. At that time, Ethereum was slow, expensive, and had severely insufficient performance to meet the trading needs of the prediction market. Therefore, it quickly migrated to the @ 0xPolygon PoS chain (then Matic Network) in 2021.
Matic Network was one of the most mature scaling solutions (sidechains/L2) for Ethereum at that time, with high TPS and low cost, attracting well-known DeFi protocol deployments such as @ aave and @ SushiSwap, becoming a well-known generic smart contract chain. Polymarket also embarked on the path of upgrading and fighting monsters in Polygon.
In 2022-2023, as global liquidity tightens, the crypto market is in a deep bear phase, and Polymarket, positioned as a predictive market track, is facing enormous regulatory pressure (CFTC fines). At that time, few investors and institutions were optimistic about it.
Polygon founder @ sandeepnailwal publicly stated on his X that during the toughest period of @ Polymarket in 2022-2023, Polygon Ventures, a venture capital firm under Polygon, and himself invested in Polymarket.
Although this round of financing has not been publicly disclosed, it was initiated by Sandeep himself and not questioned by members of the Polymarket core team, which basically confirms the authenticity of the financing.
It is rare for public chain project parties to be willing to provide infrastructure, technology, funding, and resources support to the on chain ecosystem during the most difficult times.
It is understandable that Polymarket will gradually move away from Polygon in its own chain development, but it cannot be denied that Polygon has achieved what Polymarket is today.
I hope this cycle can have more stories of @ base giving back to @ Optimism for mutual benefit, and fewer stories of @ berachain and Cosmos farmers and snakes.
The above.
