DraftKings ottiene lo status di validatore sulla rete Polygon

Sports betting firm DraftKings (DKNG ) has diventato the newest validator of the Polygon blockchain in a bid to enhance its future-proof aspects. Via this collaboration, DraftKings aims to achieve sustainable and reliable decentralized infrastructure that people can trust, according to the firm’s president of global product and technology, Paul Liberman.

I validatori di Polygon sono tenuti a mettere in stake MATIC – il token nativo della rete – per aiutare a proteggere e decentralizzare la rete. In cambio, ricevono ricompense. L’azienda di intrattenimento sportivo digitale ha stipulato un accordo che prevede che la piattaforma di infrastruttura integrata B2B Zero Hash metta in stake i token per suo conto.

Diventare un validatore non è la prima azione legata alle criptovalute da parte di DraftKings sulla rete Polygon. L’azienda di sport fantasy quotata al Nasdaq ha in passato realizzato diverse iniziative, in particolare la collaborazione con Autograph di Tom Brady. Attraverso lo sforzo congiunto, gli NFT sportivi di Autograph, inclusi i cartellini sportivi digitali, sono stati lanciati sul marketplace NFT di DraftKings lo scorso anno.

Since going live in August, DraftKings Marketplace has sold out 116 NFT series and logged $44 million in sales, as per a representative. The premier sale was a Tiger Woods NFT, collected for $70k.

The metaverse efforts will target the Asia Pacific market.

Kelvin Lam, the Managing Director of Zipmex Group, said that eventually, Zipmex aims to become a leading mover in “cultura digitale” of Southeast Asia. The region has seen massive traction in the crypto space over the last few years.

Zipmex’s announcement came as Zixel hosts its first-ever physical metaverse exhibition. Metaworld by Zixel, which runs until March 20, allows users to engage in metaverse experiences linked to the ‘Zixel Launch Party’ event that happened last month on Decentraland.

The physical exhibition includes, among other features, a Crypto Arcade X Polygon Studios zone, where visitors can play-to-earn tokens and other prizes.

Polygon tra i vincitori mentre Lugano porta iniziative pro-crypto simili a quelle di El Salvador

The city of Lugano, which forms part of the Italian-speaking southern part of Switzerland, is redefining what it means to accept crypto. The city last Thursday annunciato that it is making Polygon its official blockchain platform in an effort to embrace the broader cryptocurrency space.

According to city officials, the ultimate goal is to enable the 62,000 population of the city to pay for goods and services using cryptocurrencies. Lugano citizens, unlike El Salvadorans, will onwards enjoy more than Bitcoin payments as Lugano is also employing Tether (USDT) and the city’s native LVGA Points stablecoin as “de facto” legally accepted currencies.

Polygon will help Lugano build out the necessary infrastructure on which the Tether and LVGA stablecoins would run. As Lugano has an already built-out blockchain, 3Achain, the city continues to be one of the most crypto-optimistic places in the world today.

Further, Polygon is increasingly becoming a reliable infrastructure partner for several entities. Earlier this month, Spain-based cybersecurity and telecommunication mammoth Telefónica (TEF ) Tech announced it was collaborating with Polygon to leverage its tools and network to enable businesses to integrate blockchain tech easily. The effort, which lanciato during the  Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, aims to onboard more and more people onto the Web 3 space.
