Polygon is a decentralized Ethereum blockchain scaling platform that enables developers to build scalable user-friendly decentralized applications (dApps) with low transaction fees without ever sacrificing on security. Over 37,000 dApps have used Polygon to scale their performance and is a Web3 environment for all.

Polygon has a native cryptocurrency known as "MATIC". MATIC is generally the 11th largest cap cryptocurrency with nearly an $8 billion USD market cap and doing well over $500 million USD in transactions per 24 hour period.

Open Therapeutics' mission is to provide the global research community a safe place to enable its members to positively impact human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Therapoid primarily provides advanced discussion forums. However, its members also have access to grants, intellectual properties, manuscript tools, free lab equipment, and ScienceCoins cryptocurrency and non-fungible token (NFT) awards.

According to Open Therapeutics Founder Jason E. Barkeloo, "We are very proud to gain this grant from the Polygon DAO! As we continue to use the Polygon blockchain, support from the Polygon DAO community will speed forward our developments. The implementation of our smart contracts on Polygon ensures low gas fees with high throughput for ScienceCoins and NFT transactions. In short, our Polygon implementation will benefit the global scientific community."

About Polygon DAO
Led by a passionate group of developers, the Polygon DAO is a significant presence in the global blockchain ecosystem. On the Polygon blockchain, there are over 19,000 dApps, 130 million users, 3 million daily transactions, and nearly 3.5 billion transactions since inception. Polygon, formerly known as the Matic Network, is a blockchain scaling solution that provides tools to improve the speed and reduce the cost and complexities of transactions on blockchain networks. MATIC is used as the unit of payment and settlement between participants who interact within the network. At the center of Polygon is Ethereum, a platform where one can join virtual worlds ("metaverse"), play games, buy art, and conduct cryptocurrency and financial transactions. However, this much activity on Ethereum has made it almost unusable. To solve this problem, Polygon uses a layer-2 approach. As an add-on layer to Ethereum, the Polygon blockchain implementation is frequently referred to as "Ethereum's Internet of Blockchains".
