Indian Ethereum platform Polygon to invest in Colexion – one of Asia’s largest NFT marketplaces

Ecosystem for crypto currencies is growing in India. On Wednesday, Polygon, a platform for Ethereum scaling and digital infrastructure development, announced an investment in Colexion – Asia’s largest NFT (non-fungible token) marketplace.

Ethereum or ETH claims to be a globally decentralised, open-source blockchain, which is part of the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is a cryptocurrency, like bitcoin or dogecoin, but its blockchain also supports these NFTs. The NFTs help artists sell their work and communities to come together on its platform with the primary aim of NFT trade.

In India, so far, the crypto currency ecosystem is operating in a regulatory vacuum. Polygon, which claims to have a vast presence in the cryptographic ecosystem, says it will deploy many of its digital tools to boost NFT adoption in India, leading to a seamless purchasing and minting experience for its users.

It will cater to the diverse needs of developers by providing tools to create scalable decentralised applications, focus on the performance of the platform and user experience while solving any security concerns that may arise.
