Polygon Labs Updates for 2023
The co-founder shared three dates for community events in the post. For example, Polygon Labs will hold the Polygon Connect event on December 7 in India. The post also highlights a public demonstration of Polygon’s next-generation ZK product on December 14. Naiwal expects it to significantly benefit the entire ethereum ecosystem. Additionally, Polygon plans to announce products on December 20 that will improve RWA (real-world asset) and institutional adoption.
The Polygon community is looking forward to these products, starting with Polygon Connect in India. The event is expected to offer attendees the opportunity to meet, network and collaborate with like minds in the industry, likely exposing themselves to new opportunities in the sector. For the upcoming ZK product, community members can expect to see a reflection of how much work the Polygon team has put into improving their application of zero-knowledge proof technology. Finally, improving RWA and institutional adoption allows Polygon Labs to serve a wide range of users, including individuals and corporations, across various industries.

Polygon so far this year
Polygon Labs has had a good year and solidified several collaborations along the way. Last week, Polygon Labs announced that the Swiss city of Lugano, a popular tourist destination, has integrated Polygon with its MyLugano payment platform.
Although Lugano initially developed the app with USDT issuer Tether for crypto payments, adding Polygon’s PoS chain opens up the app’s 30,000 users to decentralized applications (dApps) on the network for better payments. In addition to improving payments, Polygon is also helping Lugano launch a non-fungible token (nft) collection.
Last month, Hong Kong-based gaming software giant and venture capital firm Animoca Brands Corporation Ltd announced a strategic partnership with Polygon Labs and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The partnership gave rise to MoonRealm Express Accelerator, a platform to support future builders developing web3 projects. MoonRealm Express Accelerator offers builders several resources, including dedicated masterclasses and project incubation. Additionally, it focuses on builders developing parts of the web3 landscape, including GameFi, decentralized identity, and SocialFi. MoonRealm Express Accelerator is planning its first hackathon in early 2024.
To advance the cause, AWS has committed a $1.1 million investment to 500 eligible startups. AWS also plans to provide startups with cloud resources through AWS Activate, a program for founders starting their AWS journey. Polygon Labs will offer workshops to help builders with the necessary skills and will provide cash rewards for hackathons.
