Kako je Poligon postal indijski tiger blokchain platform

The conspicuous lack of Indian presence in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space has always seemed relatively incongruous. With India expecting to be home to 5.2 million programmers within the next two years, the country is on track to have more software developers than the US in the very near future.

In the last decade, India has undergone rapid digitization, with government initiatives focused on digital identity, healthcare, agriculture, and judicial systems. Furthermore, the population is one of the youngest in the world, with a srednja starost under thirty years old, compared to mid-forties in Western Europe and 37 in the United States.

Kljub vsemu, ko je blockchain scena začela pridobivati ​​pomemben oprijem od leta 2017, se zdi, da se trend v Indiji ni ujel na enak način kot v mnogih drugih azijskih državah, kot so Južna Koreja, Tajska in Singapur.

O prepoved kriptovalut imposed by the Reserve Bank of India in 2018 is likely a significant reason why the crypto scene stalled on the subcontinent, as legal ramifications may have deterred many would-be investors or developers.

Vendar se je v tej nekoliko jalovi in ​​sovražni atmosferi prevarantska skupina razvijalcev zbrala okoli ideje o povečanju verige blokov. Bila je večplastna ambicija - povečati zmogljivosti Ethereuma do te mere, da bi bila privlačna platforma za končne uporabnike, hkrati pa povečati položaj blockchaina v Indiji in v svetu.

Začenši od Ground Up

Konec leta 2017 so Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun in Mihailo Bjelic oživili Matic Network (danes znano kot Polygon). Skupina je s pomočjo tehnologije obdelave stranske verige plazme uporabila rešitev za skaliranje Ethereuma. Matic je bil med prvimi projekti za izdelavo delujočega MVP za plazmo.

For over a year, the team worked to build out the Matic Network. Their efforts included gaining visibility in the broader cryptocurrency community. By early 2019, their efforts had started to pay off, and Matic became one of the select few projects to be picked for a token sale on Binance’s prestigious LaunchPad IEO platform. to aussi gained backing from Coinbase Ventures in the form of seed investment. The dual support of two of the biggest exchanges in crypto proved to be a springboard for onboarding an initial raft of applications in gaming and DeFi.

In the summer of 2020, the project launched on its mainnet. It was the culmination of two years of hard work. Around the same time, Matic razglasitve the launch of a “Large Scale Developer Initiatives” program to incentivize the adoption of its mainnet. Luckily, the project could hardly have timed its mainnet launch any better. Summer of 2020 is when the DeFi craze started to truly take off, and Ethereum began to choke from the high volume of traffic on its network.

Privlačna platforma za razvijalce

Za uporabnike in razvijalce Ethereuma je ena največjih zanimivosti uporabe Polygona (prej znanega kot Matic) njegova združljivost z Ethereumom. Žetoni, izdani v mreži Polygon, so združljivi z navideznim računalnikom Ethereum in obratno. Ko so se slabosti Ethereuma začele kazati, se je veliko aplikacij razširilo izven Ethereuma, da bi se skupaj zanašale na rešitve Polygon's layer 2 za razširljivost in cenejše transakcije.

Zdaj večji projekti DeFi, med njimi Aave, Curve Finance, Augur in UMA, med drugim delujejo v mreži Polygon. Februarja 2021 je bil projekt preimenovan v Polygon. Novo ime naj bi odražalo nenehno širitev na druge rešitve razširljivosti, kot so skupni zneski in druge verige blokov.

Along with a willing mass of dApps keen to expand to Polygon from their original platforms, the project is also proving attractive to new apps. Hitra zamenjava is one of the projects spearheading the DeFi ecosystem on Polygon. QuickSwap is a decentralized exchange, and automated market maker set up as a fork of Uniswap running on Polygon.

Hitra zamenjava se je izkazala za hit med trgovci - nedavno je dosegla 440,000 dnevnih transakcij, z več kot 710 milijoni dolarjev v 24-urnem obsegu in skoraj 800 milijoni dolarjev s skupno zaklenjeno vrednostjo (TVL), kar je včasih znano tudi kot likvidnost. To predstavlja največji obseg in najglobljo likvidnost katere koli izmenjave plasti 2. Poleg tega QuickSwap plača tudi velikodušne APY do 300% za igralce bazenov.

With the promise of lower fees to boot, the platform is evidently gunning for the same kind of success seen by BSC-based PancakeSwap, which overtook biggest rival Uniswap on trading volume in February.

QuickSwap je tudi še en primer indijskih inovacij. Soustanovitelj projekta, Sameep Singhania, je blockchain in programski inženir, ki je poleg lastnih pobud sodeloval tudi pri drugih projektih, vključno z ParaSwap in Bonded Finance.

Meteorski vzpon in svetla prihodnost

The influx of newcomers like QuickSwap, together with the migration of flagship apps such as Aave have contributed to Polygon’s meteoric rise in recent months. The project that started as a simple idea by a group of developers in Mumbai is now going stellar. Polygon recently saw user numbers povečati za 75,000 in one week, many of whom were drawn in by one of the 93 apps running on the network.

The success is reflected in the token price, too – MATIC has posted gains above 12,000% since January. Its current market cap is over $13 billion, putting it in the top 20 tokens by global ranking. It also gained a Coinbase listing in March this year. Sandeep Nailwal, one of the founders of Polygon, recently told the Economic Times of India that the platform aims to become the third most valuable blockchain after Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Porast Polygona je impresiven za gledanje, še bolj, če upoštevamo, da gre za projekt strasti za skupino navdušenih razvijalcev, ki si prizadevajo za sled v svojem sektorju. Poleg tega je vedenje, da je to eden redkih projektov, ki osvetli inovativni papir med skupnostjo razvijalcev v Indiji, naredi zgodbo še bolj sladko.

The future of Indian blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation is now looking considerably brighter. Following a 2020 decision by the Supreme Court of India to reverse the cryptocurrency ban, the community has wasted no time in catching up on the lost years. The pool of developers interested in blockchain is hitro rastein recent reports suggest that the country is moving towards a more constructive framework of regulation. In the coming years, there’s every chance that India will rise to become the de-facto blockchain center of the world.
