Polygon, the blockchain on which these NFTs are developed, is characterized by allowing transactions with a meager cost of fees. These are paid in Matic, the network’s native token, and are usually less than $ 0.01.
The Ethereum-friendly narrative that Polygon presents (which sometimes leads it to be mistaken for a second layer ) have allowed it to corner part of the decentralized finance (DeFi) market that was traditionally exclusive to Ethereum. Platforms such as Pool Together, 1inch, and Aave, among others, are now compatible with both blockchains.
