1/ Things move fast in Web3. A week can feel like a year, 6 months can feel like an eon.
#Polygon’s @dtyagi takes a look back at the greatest hits of the first half of 2022 (or the extended season of #WAGMIonPolygon) in his latest article.
Here are some of the highlights.🧵
2/ Stats!
Total funds #Polygon invested in hackathon bounties & @gitcoin commitments: $2M
Apps running on Polygon: 19,000+
Average number of monthly transactions: 90M
Cumulative contract creators: 153,000+
Potential creative energy of devs building #onPolygon: Unbounded💜
3/ During the first half of 2022, #Polygon made a concentrated effort to fully support the vision of #Web3 devs everywhere by launching Polygon Guilds, Polygon Academy, @0xPolygonDAO and Polygon Village, as well as setting up WAGMIJobDrops and the Polygon Ecosystem Job Board.
@QuickswapDEX maintained its dominance with 382k users, processing 4.52M transactions.

An open forum for a decentralized collective of environmentalists, developers, and entrepreneurs to come together and ensure long-term sustainability across Web3, and beyond.
Avail takes a bold step towards a modular future, where chains specialize and work together for a much more scalable #Web3.
Here’s how it works 👇 [1/6]
#Polygon uses “modularity” to make blockchains better.
That’s a bit abstract. But Avail is a great example of this.
We've seen how scalable blockchains can become when rollups take execution off-chain.
Data availability is the next logical piece to take off-chain.
[2/6]
Before this, every blockchain performed:
1️⃣ Data Availability - reach consensus on transaction (tx) order & ensure txs are available for verification
2️⃣ Execution - run txs & determine state changes
3️⃣ Settlement - final verification and arbitration
