Fractal, the gaming-focused marketplace created by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan, is expanding to Polygon after first operating on the Solana blockchain.

Fractal announced in a statement that it will begin by collaborating with 30 of the best Polygon games. According to Fractal, popular Polygon games include Aavegotchi, Derby Stars, Sunflower Land, and Decentral Games.

Since the popularity of the play-to-earn game Axie Infinity, which was fueled in part by the crypto bull run that saw values for digital assets rocket, blockchain games both new and old have been vying for players. Exploring options that might be able to remove barriers to consumer uptake and use has become crucial.

According to Fractal, the firm hopes to use the Polygon network to hasten “the development and accessibility of the many game projects being built,” noting that more than “200 unique titles have launched on Polygon so far.”

Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of the Polygon Foundation, stated in a joint statement that “Fractal has emerged as a crucial hub for the discovery of blockchain games, we aim to make 2023 the year we bring Web3 gaming to the mass market.”

NFTs with in-game functionality can be found on both the primary and secondary markets at Fractal. While gamers can exchange NFTs among themselves on the peer-to-peer market, gaming firms can mint and dump gaming NFTs for their followers. The market opened in 2021 and received $35 million in funding from investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Animoca for a seed round.

Polygon is an Ethereum sidechain that enables quicker and less expensive transactions, and it appears to be gaining popularity lately.
