Add Polygon Network
Add Polygon Network - last step in buying a Burble NFT!
What is Polygon?
As we discussed in the NFT First Timers page, there are different types of blockchain networks that enable different things. Polygon, for example, is a layer of blockchain that enables very quick transactions and super secure protocols, which means you can dive into the cryptoworld easily. A more technical description of what Polygon, or MATIC (Polygon’s currency) is below: Polygon (MATIC) is a fast and highly scalable Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum network. It also functions as a platform for building and connecting Ethereum compatible blockchains. Polygon reduces transaction fees on the. Ethereum network, whilst also increasing the speed of transactions drastically
Why does Burble use Polygon?
Burble partnered with Polygon because we trust their process and feel confident that their extremely low gas fees (gas fees are like credit card transaction fees) and security measures are world class.
