GAME GIANT ATARI IS PARTNERING WITH POLYGON TO BRING NFT AND TOKEN ASSETS TO LAYER 2
Atari Group, one of the world’s best-known producers and consumer brands of interactive entertainment, announced an important partnership with Polygon. Atari will utilize Polygon’s Layer 2 solution to improve Atari Token’s scalability, NFT (Non-Fungible Token), and coin-related assets.
With this partnership, Atari will support the integration of Polygon’s Layer 2 solution and make Atari Token (ATRI) available in the scalable network that connects to Ethereum with the help of the Polygon Bridge. The extremely inexpensive environment and fast approval times make Polygon L2 suitable for NFT minting for Atari to explore.
Using Polygon’s highly efficient network, Atari will also launch an NFT miner that will allow Atari token holders to mine NFT, which can be traded in popular NFT markets.
Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder and COO of Polygon (formerly Matic), believes the future of consumer-friendly blockchain products, including games and NFT, lies in Layer 2. Polygon is excited to be working with Atari to find ways to achieve the value of tokens and supplementary products.
With Polygon, developers no longer have to compromise on the speed, scalability, tool building, or community when choosing a network to build on. Polygon’s L2 aggregator is located near Ethereum and offers developers instant scaling options to focus on building applications with real benefits.
