Terra-based projects begin mass migration to Polygon after Terra implosion
According to Ryan Wyatt, CEO of Polygon Studios, some of the projects migrating to Polygon include non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace OnePlanet, multiverse platform Lunaverse and play-to-earn-game Derby Stars.
OnePlanet’s Ark One Initiative Spurs Migration
Following the collapse of Terra, OnePlanet launched an initiative called Arc*One, which aimed to salvage innovative NFT projects built on the failing blockchain. Arc*One has been a driving force behind the migration from Terra to Polygon, with 48 NFT projects including 90 NFT collections that have applied for financial and technical support through the initiative.
Applications for Arc One closed on June 15. This date also marked the end of Polygon Studios' financial support for the initiative. However, Ark One will continue to provide technical support to projects wishing to migrate from Terra to Polygon. One of the main reasons many Terra projects chose to migrate to Polygon is that it offered enough financial support to woo the projects.
In the weeks following the collapse of Terra, Polygon Studios launched a multimillion-dollar fund to attract projects exclusively from Terra to the Polygon blockchain. OnePlanet also cited a number of reasons it was an attractive destination, writing in a blog post, beyond simple financial aid.
