NFT-optimized blockchain project, Palm Network, has today revealed plans to transition to a Polygon-based ‘Supernets’ chain while maintaining its existing Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure.
The network’s launch of a proof-of-stake sidechain within the Polygon ecosystem will start next Tuesday as part of a two-phase expansion to Polygon. The first phase involves the integration of a proof-of-stake sidechain to replace the proof-of-authority (PoA) consensus mechanism by August, followed by the actual migration to layer two Supernets to complete the new Web3 creators’ platform.
The choice of Polygon was influenced by the high speed, security, and scalability merits of the Supernets, which support the ConsenSys-backed firm’s goal to become a zkEVM multiprover. The transition will also improve interoperability with Ethereum and Polygon 2.0 – the latter which has been teased as an ecosystem of several Layer 2 chains. Notably, Palm Network joins Web3 gaming firm Immutable and decentralized exchange platform IDEX which have too opted for Supernets for their separate initiatives.
