SK Telecom’s NFT marketplace TopPort will also begin supporting the Polygon blockchain, while the two companies seek “to discover promising Web3 startups and support incubation.”
Polygon operates a proof-of-stake sidechain network which runs parallel to Ethereum and hosts notable crypto apps such as Uniswap and Aave. The blockchain is considered one of the most popular among web3 gaming startups.
