Fungify x Polygon: The Mainnet is the Testnet
We are thrilled to announce that Fungify has transitioned its testnet to the Polygon PoS Mainnet. This decision was driven by the escalating gas prices that testers have been facing on the Goerli chain, thanks to the innovative LayerZero bridge giving gETH a monetary value.
Testooor sign-ups opened just three weeks ago, and have elicited an enthusiastic response, with over 1000 individuals signing up 🥳. The first wave of accepted users included long-standing Fungify community members, whose insightful feedback has been invaluable. However, surging gas costs emerged as a major obstacle. To circumvent this and extend our testing to a broader audience, we found the most effective solution in Polygon PoS Mainnet.
Why Polygon?Â
Polygon, an EVM compatible chain, offers significantly lower transaction costs while being a closer replication of the actual production environment. Testnets like Sepolia have yet to implement significant parts of the DeFi infrastructure stack, even as Goerli grows closer to deprecation.
Yoots NFT Collection Joins the Index on Polygon
In conjunction with our transition, we're excited to announce the addition of the Yoots NFT collection to our index. Yoots is a prominent NFT collection on the Polygon Network, boasting the highest trading volume on the chain. Its integration into our index will diversify the offerings available to our users.
