The firm will provide staking and transaction validation services on the Polygon network with the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm, as well as on Supernet, an interoperable blockchain system for developers based on the Polygon Edge platform. Deutsche Telekom MMS has also previously joined the Q, Flow, Celo, Chainlink, and Ethereum blockchains as a validator.
What else is known? The company noted that the collaboration will enable applications for a wider audience, helping to increase the security and decentralization of the network. Dirk Röder, Head of the Blockchain Solutions Center at Deutsche Telekom, said that the Polygon ecosystem is developer-friendly, resource-efficient, and secure, and the collaboration will encourage mass adoption of blockchain and Web 3.0 technologies.
There are tens of thousands of decentralized applications (DApps) on the Polygon PoS network, more than three million transactions occur daily, and the blockchain’s total value locked (TVL) exceeds $1 billion, according to DeFiLlama as of May 31.
