Polygon 2024 Roadmap ๐ฃ CEO INTERVIEW
Polygon is rolling out Polygon 2.0, which will allow multiple side chains to interconnect, enabling assets on one chain to be used on another. This will allow projects to launch their own customizable chains using Polygon's chain development kits while still being able to share liquidity and interconnect with other Polygon chains. Major partnerships using Polygon's chain development kits include OKX, Flipkart, immutable, and others across gaming, DeFi, and enterprises.
By mid-2024, Polygon expects over 100 chains to exist in their ecosystem. The interoperability layer connecting these chains is a key advantage, as it allows assets to move freely in a reliable way that isn't possible on other platforms. Polygon is also launching a staking hub to allow these new chains to decentralize using Polygon's validator set.
There will be a token migration from the current MATIC token to a new POLY token, which is upgradeable to allow things like emissions from the staking hub. The Polygon team sees strong momentum from enterprises building on Polygon but believes focusing on core Web3 applications like DeFi and payments will drive increased liquidity to benefit ecosystem partners.
Gaming continues to be a focus area through partnerships like the recent Beam/IMX deal, which Polygon views as mutually beneficial. Tokenization of assets on Polygon through partners like Franklin Templeton is also seeing tangible traction and adoption. Overall, Polygon aims to have top capabilities across gaming, DeFi, NFTs, brands, and tokenization of securities.
