MLIKI is deciding to launch its own NFT marketplace on Polygon blockchain and announced its strategic partnership with Polygon Studios

To assist in the development and promotion of MLIKI project, MLIKI has entered a partnership with Polygon Studios. Through this partnership, Polygon Studios will help to highlight the benefits MLIKI is bringing to NFT artist and collector, to GameFi project and even metaverse project and also the partnership will help MLIKI to get comprehensive support ranging from technology, marketing, community, grants, etc from Polygon Studios.

NFTs have taken the art world by storm​​ — and continue to make headlines. Over the past year, the boom in their sales have created a wild, lucrative marketplace worth over $24bn. According to the ‘completed sales’ chart on Nonfungible.com, In the first quarter of 2021, NFT sales had totalled roughly $2 billion. But under the ebullient surface, a storm was brewing.

We’ve observed that nowaday most NFTs are minted, bought, and sold on platforms powered by the Ethereum blockchain, though other blockchains are also starting to enter the market. Despite its current dominance, however, Ethereum has some limitations. One of these is gas prices had spiked to levels not seen since 2017.

The solutions presented by Polygon are the answers to some of the most pressing issues of Ethereum, like high gas fees, low transaction throughput and consequently a poor user experience. MLIKI will leverage Polygon’s layer 2 solution to improve user experience, making minting, buying and selling NFT become more faster and lower cost. MLIKI and its user greatly benefits from the low costs and fast transaction speeds that come from being on Polygon.

Bellow are the few thing why we chose to build MLIKI NFT martketplace on Polygon

  • High Speed Transaction
    Polygons allow to process up to 65,000 transactions per second on one side chain. Which means by launch the MLIKI NFT marketplace on Polygon, MLIKI users can complete the transactions (mint, buy and sell an NFT) in a short time
  • Cost Efficiency
    Since we have to pay a gas fee to mint, buy and sell our NFTs, the gas price has caused a new problem in the space and affected smaller players and new user unable to take a chance on the NFT market due expensive transactions fee. Polygon can help reduce these fees by over 99% and thus significantly reduce the barrier to entry for new users. Which means by launch the MLIKI NFT marketplace on Polygon, MLIKI users can complete the transactions (mint, buy and sell an NFT) at a very low cost almost-zero gas fees.
  • Growing ecosystem
    The exponential growth of new applications in DeFi and NFTs caused spiking fees on Ethereum. To take advantage of low costs and fast transactions, much of the activity went to Polygon. By October 2021, Polygon had grown to nearly 3,000 dApps, up from only 30 in 2020.
