Sandeep Nailwal recently answered questions from the crypto community on Reddit. Polygon co-founder stated that the gaming industry will bring new opportunities to the cryptocurrency market.
Nailwal says that gaming is the largest-scale opportunity for crypto. Specifically, “Games are embracing new technologies. There are some good games coming out on Web3 in the next 6-18 months. It will also be very interesting to see if some of them are using Blockchain.”
The Polygon founder stated that over $2 billion in funding was raised last year specifically for Web3 games. He also pointed out that Polygon and ecosystem players took the “lion’s share” among the games funded. This highlights the institutional investment flowing into the Web3 gaming industry.
The founder also stated that Polygon is one of the biggest projects at the moment. According to him, Polygon could potentially become an industry leader in developer effectiveness across all segments. Polygon has attracted great attention especially in the last two years. Nailwal stated that the network is working on innovative solutions in the zero-knowledge (zk) space to enable massive scalability.
