We are using the Polygon chain for the distribution of limited edition NFT cards.
Polygon is a layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain. Currently, there are several chains that can be used to handle NFTs. By using the Polygon chain, which has high transmission speed and relatively low transaction fees, we aimed to design a service that is easy to use for both users and the companies that implement it.
