The sustained success of Polygon in the NFT arena highlights the strength of its infrastructure and the popularity of its ecosystem. Despite facing stiff competition from other blockchain platforms, Polygon has succeeded in attracting multiple users and has solidified its reputation as the go-to platform for NFT transactions and projects.
Polygon has also had a history of collaborating with large brands for NFT-related projects which further aid in attracting new users to its ecosystem.

For instance, decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes on the Polygon network have seen a noticeable decline. Additionally, the total value locked (TVL) on Polygon has fallen over the past month – A sign of waning investor interest.
