What’s new? Polygon has launched a blockchain-based platform in India for registering complaints against police, called First Information Report (FIR). According to the network’s co-founder Sandeep Nailwal on Twitter, Polygon’s protocol is now being used by police in the Firozabad district in Uttar Pradesh, which has a population of more than 2,8 million people.
Police Complaints(FIR) on blockchain powered by @0xPolygon This is very close to my heart. We grow up hearing about so many of such cases wherein due to some corruption in a local police department, victims(mostly of rapes) are not even able to register complaint or…1/2 https://t.co/k9gRMD6r08— Sandeep | Polygon 💜🔝3️⃣ (@sandeepnailwal) October 12, 2022
More details about the development. Because the FIR runs on the blockchain, this method of filing eliminates its denial by potentially corrupt officers. According to Nailwal, the initiative “could be a game-changer in ensuring right to justice.”
In his statement, the Polygon co-founder also thanked the local police commissioner for going above and beyond the call of duty by implementing such technology.
Earlier, it was reported that digital asset management company Grayscale Investments added the token of the Polygon (MATIC) network to its crypto fund, Digital Large Cap Fund. The asset now occupies 1,26% of the fund’s total basket. As of October 13, 12:00 UTC, MATIC is trading at $0,7367, down by 7,45% in 24 hours, according to crypto exchange Binance.
