Polygon (MATIC) Surpasses Ethereum’s Daily Active Addresses for the First Time In History
Ethereum scalability solution and blockchain platform, Polygon (MATIC), has touched an important milestone today. For the first time in history, the total number of daily active addresses on Polygon has surpassed that on Ethereum. Polygon co-founder Mihailo Bjelic twitted earlier today:
Another huge milestone for @0xPolygon! We eclipsed Ethereum L1 in daily active addresses for the first time! This is just the beginning. We are working round the clock to improve our tech, strengthen our ecosystem and increase adoption. Let’s bring the world to Ethereum!
Note that Polygon is not a competitor to Ethereum. The Polygon blockchain is a protocol build to connect several Ethereum-compatible blockchains. Thus, it aims to deploy a scalable solution on Ethereum by creating a multi-chain Ethereum ecosystem.
Well, the Polygon blockchain network has undergone major developments this year. It has also seen major institutional fund inflows over the last few months. Blockchain tech billionaire Mark Cuban announced a major investment in the Polygon ecosystem earlier this year.
