Polygon network's collaboration with Ernst and Young Global Limited (one of the big four strategy consulting firms globally) for building Ethereum scaling solutions garnered mainstream media attention for the project. 

The list of recent updates in the Polygon network is long, with the most notable being the launch of the security leaderboard on CertiK. The increasing transparency is likely to boost demand and utility for projects in the Polygon ecosystem.

The ecosystem's crypto gaming arm, Polygon Studios has invested in NFT gaming and play-to-earn projects, jumping on the recent trend in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. 

DeFi11, a decentralized gaming ecosystem for fantasy sports went live on the Polygon network earlier in 2021; since then, the platform has noted massive growth. The 24-hour volume of native token D11 crossed $1.5 million earlier today.
