The Metaverse and the GameFi ecosystem are evolving rapidly with almost every blockchain project getting more actively involved. The team at Polygon is also focused on enhancing their capabilities to build and connect blockchains and decentralized applications (dApps) in a seamless manner.
The launch of Polygon Studios, which is Polygon’s unit specializing in blockchain gaming and NFTs, was a natural step as the team continues to enhance their product suite. To help them as they dive into the Metaverse, the Polygon developers have announced a partnership with Liberty Gaming Guild.
As most crypto enthusiasts would know, Polygon is not just a blockchain. It’s also a blockchain builder and connector. The platform and its ecosystem enables the development and connection of EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible chains, while enhancing the speed of transactions and lowering fees.
The Liberty team says that the collaboration with Polygon is great news for them, because of the initiative’s strong position in the crypto industry. Notably, Polygon has one of the fastest-growing gaming guilds in the play-to-earn space. They also have many strategic network partners, innovative tools and experienced investors on their team. That’s why Liberty claims that they are quite confident about this collaboration.
As explained in the update, Polygon is one of the first platforms for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. The team says they are well-structured, offer user-friendly services, which are complemented by the Polygon SDK; as well as a robust framework for building multiple types of dApps.
Polygon has been designed to turn Ethereum into a multi-chain system that’s somewhat similar to what Polkadot, Cosmos, and Avalanche offer. But Polygon also provides the benefits of Ethereum’s security, ecosystem and openness.
As noted in the release, Polygon Studios is a new division that focuses on blockchain gaming and NFTs. Polygon maintains a strong position within the world of gaming and NFTs with more than 100,000 native blockchain gamers. The launch of Polygon Studios should enhance the project’s solid position in the gaming sector.
Liberty Gaming Guild intends to act as the gateway for gamers to gain access to NFTs that would otherwise be too costly or almost impossible to access. The project also aims to mentor these gamers, while offering them a way to generate sizable returns from playing games. Liberty is also a gateway for those who are looking to invest in blockchain gaming.
Liberty further explained that they’re lowering the entry barrier to participating in the blockchain-based gaming space with projects like Axie Infinity, and by lending in-game NFTs to their dedicated community gamers (called ‘scholars’). This should increase their chances of success within the game by utilizing superior characters, tools, and armory, in order to create more earning potential for the scholar.
Liberty Gaming Guild was launched in November 2021 with help from Synergia Capital, which made an investment into this industry via the use of a gaming guild.
At present, the team has the infrastructure needed to support various NFT games like Axie Infinity. The team also has plans to expand this to various other games as the project continues to grow in scale and adoption.
Liberty Gaming Guild says that they’re not just here to help make people money playing games. They’re also focused on making a meaningful impact on people’s lives. They offer education, training, and support in order to help with creating stability for their gamers in their play-to-earn careers and their everyday lives.
Liberty has reportedly invested in Axie Infinity, The Sandbox, League of Kingdoms, Star Atlas Guild of Guardians, and Illuvium.
