This initiative mirrors Solana’s Grizzlython campaign, seeking to nurture a new generation of innovators building on the blockchain. The Village Startup Support program provides founders with immersive guidance, strategic support, mentorship, and access to an elite network.

Seventeen diverse projects have been welcomed into the fold, including Moongate, which aims to facilitate the creation and adoption of non-fungible tokens (NFT) tickets and memberships for brands and events. These projects span various sectors, from sustainability and lifestyle to gaming and tokenization.

Polygon has demonstrated consistent growth over the past few years, reaching significant milestones within its network. As it strives to establish dominance in the layer-2 space, Polygon has emerged as a strong competitor, especially in areas like NFT innovation and challenging platforms such as Solana.

Looking forward, Polygon is gearing up for the launch of Polygon 2.0, which includes rebranding its native token, MATIC, to POL. The technical details of these upgrades have been finalized, with implementation scheduled to occur through network updates on the mainnet.

Currently, MATIC has experienced a slight uptick of 1.8%, reaching $0.7952. As Polygon continues its evolution and expands its ecosystem, the landscape of layer-2 scaling protocols is poised for further evolution and increased competition.
