Blockchain protocol for metaverses, Meta0, announces partnership with Polygon

MIAMI - Thursday, 25. August 2022

Led by the former head of TikTok's gaming unit, Meta0 will leverage Polygon's vast GameFi ecosystem and developer tooling to help drive Web3 expansion and interoperability

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Meta0, a new blockchain startup that connects metaverses and blockchain ecosystems through a Layer 0 protocol, has announced an official partnership with Polygon.

Polygon is one of the most cost-effective EVM-based blockchains, and also a favorite choice amongst game developers. By partnering with Polygon, Meta0 will provide game devs with all of the advantages of the Polygon platform: low fees, a big user community and a vast decentralized apps (dapp) ecosystem with which to integrate.

The Polygon network has grown over 400% this year, boasting just over 37,000 decentralized dapps — with 74% of teams integrated exclusively on Polygon. The network is fast becoming the de facto platform for Web3 gaming, working with the likes of Ubisoft, Atari, Animoca, Decentraland, Somnium Space, Sandbox, Atari (multiverse), and Aavegotchi among others. Founded by the former global head of TikTok's strategy and gaming unit, Jason Fung, Meta0 provides the tools game developers need to easily reach players on every blockchain while also spending less time, money and personnel on the development process itself. As a one-stop shop for game developers, they remove the technical complexities of blockchain integration by providing intuitive API and SDK-based solutions that offer cross-chain support.

Urvit Goel, Head of Global Games Business Development at Polygon Studios, said: "Meta0 exemplifies the composability required of a truly global metaverse and gaming platform. Polygon's developer toolset and established Blockchain Gaming ecosystem pair well with Meta0's approach, and we're thrilled to be joining together to advance Web3 development, adoption, and interoperability."

"We couldn't be more excited to announce this partnership with Polygon," said Ricardo Rodrigues, Head of Global Partnerships at Meta0. "This is another significant step in expanding Meta0's offering of blockchain interoperability and access to more gamers for game devs everywhere who want to make the best Web3 gaming experiences."
