Polygon and Earn Alliance Partner to Bring Next 100 Million Gamers to Web33
Earlier this month, we saw the end of the Web3: Made in India campaign, a Polygon tour across the country to celebrate developers building the future of the web. The campaign revolved around a central, powerful idea: If Web2 emerged from the culture of Silicon Valley, Web3 is the provenance of developers all over the world.
That’s why the team from Polygon is excited to touchdown at Taipei Blockchain Week, Dec. 12-17!

JIC was set up by BIAL earlier this year with AWS, Intel and Polygon to drive the development and adoption of cutting-edge digital solutions in aviation.
