Just today, Polygon Network has joined the FirstBlood ecosystem to offer competitive gaming competitions to millions of esports players. Polygon, the blockchain scalability platform formerly known as Matic Network, teamed up with FirstBlood Technologies, the competitive gaming platform and parent company of Dawn Protocol, to bring the global esports community competitive challenges where players can challenge the field and earn real rewards for excelling in the world’s most popular titles available today. Challengers will soon be able to participate in tournaments and events and earn NFTs directly on the FirstBlood Platform.
This partnership is an exciting addition to an exciting line-up of events that allow gamers from any part in the world to participate in competitive events in a safe and fair manner, without requiring them to hold accounts with traditional financial institutions. The scaling solutions provided by Polygon are a powerful solution for the challenges developers and Ethereum users face, and are poised to directly benefit gaming on the blockchain, where over one million expensive transactions take place each and every day.
Joe Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Dawn and FirstBlood, said of the partnership, "Polygon network is a leading PoS side chain that empowers gaming use cases within blockchain. With this partnership, we look forward to exploring the solutions offered by Polygon to engage more traditional gaming users from AAA titles."

We are excited to partner with FirstBlood and bring crypto rewards to gamers all over the globe and help push the adoption of blockchain technology.”

Polygon is regularly pioneering scaling technologies for the benefit of all Ethereum based assets, and opening the door to possibilities for low-cost transactions and swaps, even for Dawn and 1ST. We are thrilled to be working with them, and we hope that you are too!
