Here are the latest top stories around the Polygon ecosystem:
Polygon commits to hosting migrating Terra projects
The Polygon network has offered to assist projects that seek to migrate from the Terra blockchain. In a tweet, Polygon Studios CEO Ryan Wyatt set forth that the network is setting up resources and capital to help enable these projects to set up on the Polygon blockchain.
A further update by Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal informed said Terra projects that those in need of a shared chain could set up on Polygon PoS Chain. On the other hand, those needing an app-specific chain could explore the recently introduced Polygon Supernets, a dedicated scalable chain built to fast track Web3 adoption.

Roland-Garros is debuting NFTs for its ongoing edition of the tournament
The French Open, Roland-Garros, has announced plans to debut NFTs for its ongoing 2022 edition running from May 16 to June 5. ‘RG Game, Seat & Match’ NFTs are minted on the Polygon blockchain and would mark the tournament’s initial entry into the world of non-fungible tokens.
The NFTs would be made available alongside the May 22 inauguration of the virtual Philippe-Chatrier court. They would compose a 5,000 token collection representing virtual numbered seats on the lower stand of the virtual 3D representation of the court. Willing buyers would be able to customize their tokens’ traits, including frame, number, background, and seat design.
Further, holders of the NFTs would be joining a new community lush with exclusive benefits and perks. For instance, seat numbers could win one of the 55 match balls played on Center Court via a preset combination of stats. There’ll also be animations to win experiences, such as VIP tickets to next year’s edition of the premier clay court tennis championship.
Petaverse is launching cute virtual NFT cats on Polygon
Elsewhere, the Petaverse network has revealed plans to launch virtual cat NFTs on Polygon in its first blockchain collaboration. Petaverse aims to define standards for digital pets in the metaverse by combining XR, gaming, and Web3.
The NFTs would launch with utility via the PhotoBooth applications, in addition to experiences in other platforms. Petaverse intends to have support for more pet varieties in the long run. With the objective of becoming a cross-chain platform for digital pets, it will outgrow Polygon at some point.
Nonetheless, Polygon was still selected as the project’s first blockchain partnership due to low transaction fees, a focus on decentralization, and solutions to enable creation of user-friendly applications.
