EY selects Polygon to scale its enterprise blockchain products on Ethereum

Published at: Sept. 14, 2021

Announced on Monday, Ernst & Young’s flagship blockchain services, including EY OpsChain and EY Blockchain Analyzer, will be integrated with Polygon, allowing transactions to be committed to Ethereum via the sidechain.

EY emphasized that its enterprise clients will have access to increased transaction throughput with predictable fees and settlement times using Polygon.

The firm also revealed it is working with Polygon to offer permissioned, private optimistic rollup chains. Rollups are a layer-two scaling solution that provides increased security and efficiency compared to transacting on the Ethereum mainnet. Paul Brody, global blockchain leader at EY, remarked:

“Working with Polygon provides EY teams with a powerful set of tools to scale transactions for clients and offers a faster roadmap to integration on the public Ethereum mainnet.”

Ernst & Young, one of the Big Four consulting multinationals, will connect its blockchain solutions to Polygon to mitigate the scalability constraints of Ethereum’s mainnet.

Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal praised EY for its commitment to the Ethereum ecosystem and open technology standards.

While EY has continued to iterate its layer-two zero-knowledge proof protocol Nightfall, the firm also helped launch the open-source Baseline Protocol in March 2020.

Demand for Ethereum scaling solutions has surged in recent months amid the persistently high fees associated with transacting on the mainnet. As such, the total value locked on the Polygon network has surged from roughly $1 billion at the start of April to $8.5 billion at the time of .

Polygon announces scalable data availability infrastructure Avail
Ethereum (ETH) scalability infrastructure developer Polygon has announced the rollout of a general-purpose, scalable data availability solution called Avail. According to a release issued on Monday, Polygon revealed that Avail will function as a data available tool for execution layers like sidechains, standalone networks, and layer-two protocols. One of the major hurdles for effective blockchain scaling is the data availability problem. Malicious actors can broadcast blocks to the network with incomplete data and other participants will be none the wiser. To tackle this problem, the Polygon team stated that Avail utilizes erasure coding and polynomial commitment to combat data encoding …

Polygon’s expanding ecosystem backs MATIC’s rise toward a new all-time high
Layer-two (L2) solutions for the Ethereum network have become a popular topic of discussion and speculation on their associated tokens backed the massive rally seen in many of the protocols this year. The parabolic growth of the decentralized finance (DeFi) and nonfungible token (NFT) sector also led to a surge in the cost carrying out simple transfers and this prompted developers and investors to migrate to L2-supportive platforms. One L2 solution that saw its token price rise to new highs earlier in the year and now looks poised to make another breakout higher is Polygon (MATIC), a proof-of-stake blockchain protocol …

Polygon’s focus on building L2 infrastructure outweighs MATIC’s 50% drop from ATH
After a devastating 50% correction between Dec. 25 and Jan. 25, Polygon (MATIC) has been struggling to sustain the $1.40 support. While some argue this top-15 coin has merely adjusted after a 16,200% gain in 2021, others point to competing scaling solutions growth. Either way, Polygon (MATIC) remains 50.8% below its all-time high at an $11 billion market capitalization. Currently, the market cap of Terra (LUNA) stands at $37 billion, Solana (SOL) is above $26 billion, and Avalanche (AVAX) is at a $19 billion market value. A positive note is that Polygon raised $450 million on Feb. 7, and the …

3 reasons why Polygon (MATIC) is up 100%+ during a bear market
Unlike bull markets where traders can basically throw a dart at a list of coins to pick one that will go up, bear markets require much more effort to find projects that could perform well over the long-run. One project that has continued to show signs of mainstream adoption despite the onset of a crypto winter is Polygon (MATIC), a layer-2 scaling solution for the Ethereum (ETH) network that is looking to build a sustainable Web3 infrastructure on the top smart contract platform. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that since hitting a low of $0.316 on June …
