In Depth Look at the Polygon Network and CryptoComics

by Matthew Russell - Posted 1 year ago



Welcome, My CryptoComics Compatriots. Today, we are taking a look into the Polygon Network and why CryptoComics decided to launch here. 


As of the time of this writing, we have so many amazing comics listed here, with some amazing unlockable features! First, let's take a look at the network itself. I don’t want to hold anything back, so I will explain both the pros and cons of this network!




Polygon (formerly Matic Network) is a blockchain platform that aims to provide fast, secure, and cost-effective transactions for decentralized applications (dApps). It utilizes a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and can be used as a layer 2 solution for Ethereum, improving its scalability and reducing transaction costs. Here are some pros and cons of the Polygon blockchain:

Pros:

  • Fast transactions: Polygon uses a PoS consensus mechanism and utilizes sidechains, which allows it to process transactions faster than other blockchain platforms.

  • Secure: Polygon uses a variety of security measures to ensure the integrity of its network, including fraud proofs, validator audits, and more.

  • Cost-effective: Polygon aims to be more cost-effective than other blockchain platforms, with lower transaction fees and faster block times.

  • Scalable: Polygon is designed to be scalable, which means it can handle a large number of transactions without sacrificing speed or security.

  • Compatibility with Ethereum: Polygon is fully compatible with Ethereum and can be used as a layer 2 solution to improve its scalability.

Cons:

  • Relatively new: Polygon is a relatively new blockchain platform, and it may not have the same level of adoption and support as more established platforms.

  • Limited use cases: While Polygon is suitable for a wide range of use cases, it may not be suitable for all types of projects.

  • Competition: There are other blockchain platforms that are designed to be scalable and cost-effective, such as Binance Smart Chain, which may pose competition for Polygon.

  • Complexity: Polygon has a complex architecture that may be difficult for some users to understand.

Overall, Polygon is a promising blockchain platform that offers fast, secure, and cost-effective transactions for dApps. Its compatibility with Ethereum and scalability make it an attractive choice for developers, but its relative newness and complexity may be drawbacks for some users.

CryptoComics Integration

Now you can see why we decided to use this particular blockchain at our launch. Let’s take a look at what the comics on the network have in store (pardon the pun) for you.


Start by heading to the marketplace and looking for a comic that suits you best. After clicking on the book, you will see a button labeled “Order on dApp”, this will take you to the Polygon Network where you can complete the purchase. 


When you purchase a comic you will see that there is a link that says “View Content”. If you click on this you will see that many of these are more than just “simple comics”. Many contain soundtracks, commentary, animation, links, videos, and much much more. 


Be on the lookout for all the new comics and see what features the creators can cram in them, on top of the top-notch reading experience!
