<p class="is-style-lead">According to the most recent statistics provided by Ryan Wyatt, president at PolygonLabs, Polygon has quickly become the most widely used blockchain in 2023.&nbsp;</p>



<p>While Wyatt was disseminating the information, he said that the Polygon team is working on long-term protocol plans to give every developer in their community more autonomy.&nbsp;</p>



<p>According to the statistics, the <a href="https://crypto.news/learn/a-complete-guide-to-opening-an-ethereum-wallet/">Ethereum</a> blockchain has been dethroned by Polygon, which is notable since Ethereum&#8217;s popularity, liquidity, and many active users all contributed to Ethereum&#8217;s rise to prominence in 2022.</p>

<p>The most recent information demonstrates that the tides have favoured Polygon. According to the graphic, Polygon&#8217;s popularity increased from 23% in 2022 to 41% in the first quarter of 2023. Because of this, some of the most well-known companies in the sector, such as Nike, Reddit, and Starbucks, have shown interest.</p>

<p>According to the statistics, a week-over-week gain in total value locked (TVL) was 70% more than the previous week, making it the most extraordinary surge since its debut. As of press time, Polygon’s TVL stood at $977.97 million.</p>

<p>Additionally, the record for the most significant successful transaction volume in a single day was set on May 14 at more than 13,000. While transaction costs on other blockchains, such as <a href="https://crypto.news/price/bitcoin/">bitcoin&#8217;s</a>, increased in the thick of the meme currency craze, Polygon&#8217;s fees decreased even during the most significant activity time.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This is another noteworthy point to notice. In addition, the positive transaction data has increased the price of MATIC by 3.7% over the last twenty-four hours. At the time of publication, data from CoinMarketCap indicates that MATIC is trading at $0.8813.</p>
