The new kid in town (Polygon) has been on the rise lately. Many "De-Fi" lending platforms that were on the Ethereum blockchain have switched to Polygon (MATIC). The reasons for such a move are quite obvious. Ethereum's high fees and slow processing times makes it unsuitable for "De-Fi". It's why some people are moving into alternative smart contract platforms like the one mentioned earlier. If the trend keeps up, Ethereum might lose market dominance as its rivals gain traction in the mainstream world. First it was Polkadot, then it was Binance Chain, and now it's Polygon (MATIC). Which of these platforms will beat Ethereum is yet to be seen.
What do you think? Is Polygon (MATIC) better than Ethereum? If not, why? Do you think Polygon has a chance of overcoming Ethereum in the future? Isn't the market saturated with many smart contract platforms already? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
What I do know is that, the team of a platform will always choose what they think is right, and in most cases they end up doing the right thing and in some cases, the wrong thing. Having this in mind, one will see clearly that the issue is not actually moving from one blockchain to another but the main focus is achieving whatever aim and objective the team already sets out.
Now, if we remember clearly, this year or late last year, BSC chain took the center stage and some projects from Ethereum blockchain migrated to it, new projects found it easier because of low case fee and some projects knowing that Ethereum will always remain the king of smart contracts created a sort of token bridge hence having their token both on Ethereum and BSC.
Nevertheless, as time goes on, it became evident that the reason for migration is to pump their token price at that juncture and after that, no much development again.
The reason for all these Is, same thing is going to be experienced in Polygon as only few projects will migrate to achieve their goals and many doing so just to create hype, pump their token and that's it.
In my opinion after all said and done, a lot of these projects will still go back to Ethereum moreover, Ethereum gas fees is reducing drastically. And No, Polygon do not stand a chance at overtaking Ethereum, BSC tried after all hype and yet it didn't.
