It is  one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in India, and it barged into the top 15 cryptocurrencies worldwide in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The network offers low transaction fees, and users can do a one-time pool experiment without incurring any losses, thereby removing the limitation of its competitors. It allows the free exchange of information and value through its distinct blockchain setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/buy-polygon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polygon<\/a> is based on Ethereum, and it allows you to construct applications for a fraction of the cost of Ethereum. The valuation of MATIC, the Polygon native token, has significantly grown since its inception in 2019 from $26 million to over $14 billion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MATIC is seen as the next big thing, and there are multiple reasons for its quick rise, such as Google BigQuery announcement, investment from Mark Cuban and growing hype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The network is a way forward for <a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/in\/buy-cryptos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cryptocurrencies<\/a> alongside providing user-friendly, developer-friendly, scalable, sovereign, modular, and secure blockchain networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-polygon-tracking-rt-pcr-test-results\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polygon_tracking_RT-PCR_test_results\"><\/span><strong>Polygon tracking RT-PCR test results<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zebpay.com\/blog\/how-maharashtra-will-use-ethereum-to-verify-documents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">As the blockchain is becoming more popular<\/a>, governments and multinational firms are collaborating with Polygon for various activities related to data tracking, achieving, auditing, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, it has found use assisting the Maharashtra government track its Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results in people suspected of having COVID-19 infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The department of disaster management of the Maharashtra government has collaborated with Print2Block &#8211; a Chennai-based startup, for issuing COVID-19 test certificates using this technology. These certificates are issued to a person whose COVID-19 test is negative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For authenticating and certifying its integrity, a private blockchain must be linked to a public blockchain. Consequently, Print2Block partnered with Polygon to provide a secure and scalable solution for record-keeping of RT-PCR test records and issuing of COVID-19 test certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 70-80% of the people tested daily in the state were found to be negative. This innovative setup was successful during the scale-up phase and also ensured data security. Interestingly, other states such as Karnataka, Rajasthan, Telangana, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu has also preferred blockchain technology for record maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the recent past, the cryptocurrency market has exploded owing to the benefits it offers, viz. blockchain-based technology offering more secure solutions and decentralized processing.
