As part of the launch, the team has also designed a special background for Polymonsters that are discovered through Polygon-powered booster packs.
Blockchain games continue to be some of the most exciting developments in the space. They’re both promising use cases for the nascent technology and also where its functionality is most put to the test. The issues of interoperability and scalability are always at the forefront of any game development team and nowhere is this more evident than in Polychain Monsters’ recent partnerships and rebranding.
Polychain Monsters are digital collectibles that can be integrated into any blockchain-compatible product including other games and art. Every collectible represents a unique Polymon with a certain level of rarity and value. More so, these unique NFTs can be unpacked with the game’s native $PMON tokens which are compatible with the popular ERC20 and BEP20 standards.
The project formerly known as Polkamon changed its name to Polychain Monsters due to its focus on becoming a cross-chain and multi-chain game. As part of its efforts towards this goal, the game recently expanded to popular blockchain networks such as Binance Smart Chain and Elrond. The team has stated its belief that “the future of crypto blockchains will not be winner-takes-all and multiple solutions will co-exist based on their various strengths and weaknesses.”
More recently, however, these integrations with other protocols also became a means to ensure the growth of the project’s technical infrastructure. Polychain Monsters just announced a new step in its ongoing partnership with the most sought-after Ethereum scalability solution Polygon. The game will be launched on the protocol during Q3 2021 in order to introduce faster transactions and lower costs to its features, including Booster Opening, Staking, and OpenSea Trading. A development it expects will attract thousands of new users who will be drawn to a superior user experience.
Lennart Brandt, CMO at Polychain Monsters, shared his outlook on the upcoming launch. “Integrating Polygon brings us closer to our goal of making Polychain Monsters easily accessible and inexpensive to use, ensuring that our growing community will not be priced out of the Polyverse once Ethereum gas fees are on the rise again,” said he.
As part of the launch, the team has also designed a special background for Polymonsters that are discovered through Polygon-powered booster packs. Likewise, the introduction of an all-new iconic Polymon is expected.
