    Polygon (MATIC) the beginning of Indian dominance in crypto sphere?

    Polygon (MATIC) may have started seeing some positive momentum after a hard crash. The market crash has caused cryptocurrencies to fall as much as 50% from their all-time high. Even established and high-market cap coins have succumbed to the strong bearish sentiment in the market. However, one thing is for sure the bear market cannot last forever and price growth is imminent after bear markets. Polygon (MATIC) may be one of the few cryptocurrencies that are witnessing some possible reversal of the price movements. At the time of writing, Polygon crypto stands at a price level of $1.17. The price had been increasing in the past twenty-four hours while the daily trading volume is also positive.

    India is cited as the country to host the next Silicon Valley. The country has an abundance of programmers and developers; however, Indians were absent from the cryptocurrency sphere. The ban on cryptocurrencies by the Reserve Bank of India may have had a vital role to play in this absence. But as the cryptocurrency adoption and acceptance boomed, first in the 2017 bull run and now in the 2021 bull run, cryptocurrencies reached nearly every corner of the world.

    Indian developers debut into the crypto sphere with Polygon (MATIC). Originally called Matic Network, the cryptocurrency is a layer-1 scaling solution for Ethereum. The network aims to enhance the capabilities of Ethereum and boost the adoption of cryptocurrencies. Polygon is also compatible with Ethereum which makes it an attractive alternative amidst soaring gas fees and scalability issues on Ethereum.

    The cryptocurrency has quickly climbed the market ranks standing at eighteenth in terms of capitalization. The potential of the network has been realized by many. There had been an influx of yield farmers to the Polygon network. It had also surpassed Ethereum in terms of the number of daily transactions.

  • Aave: Venturing into New Frontiers

    Aave: Venturing into New Frontiers

    Aave is a decentralized finance protocol which enables Ethereum holders to borrow and lend their cryptocurrencies in a decentralized manner. The native token of the network, AAVE is the largest DeFi token in terms of market capitalization. The algorithm-based money market obtains loans from a pool rather than from individual lenders.

    Exploring New Frontiers

    The success of the DeFi marketplace has led it to venture into other territories. The Decentralised Finance has gained popularity and its adoption does not seem to be slowing down any time soon. However, the high traffic led to congestion of the popular DeFi cryptocurrency, Ethereum, and other Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies, like AAVE. The high transaction fees have contrained the use of Aave to certain high-worth users which is against the fundamentals of the Aave network.

    The exploring New frontiers initiative is to solve this problem by working on scalability. The first implementation of the program is with Polygon (MATIC). Polygon is a sidechain of Ethereum with key features being fast and cheap transactions – which makes it ideal for Aave.

    The Aave market on Polygon will enable the use of MATIC as collateral. Furthermore, Chainlink will ensure the safety and security of the network. The Polygon Aave market will be launched with the assets, MATIC, USDC, USDT, DAI, WETH, AAVE and WBTC.

    A smart contract bridge will also be launched which will enable users to transfer their favourite assets to the Polygon block chain and a part of transaction fees of MATIC tokens will also be given to users in order to cover their transaction costs on the Polygon block chain.

    What does it mean for Aave?

    The Ethereum-based cryptocurrency established its all-time high in February at $542 and is trading at $385 at the time of writing. The price has been on an uptrend in the 24-hour timeframe. With the market sentiment bullish, and the new announcement of integration with Polygon, AAVE can be expected to continue its climb upwards. Polygon will ensure scalability of the Aave network and this has made the Aave community very excited for the things that are to unfold.
