Push Protocol Launches on Polygon
Push Protocol, previously Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS), has launched on Polygon, enabling seamless, web3-native communication to the thousands of Polygon dApps and hundreds of thousands of active users.
The Push Protocol launch on Polygon’s mainnet means that Polygon app developers can immediately begin integrating Push into their apps, launching channels, and enabling notifications for users (start here). Soon, Push Protocol will announce launch partners to allow users to begin subscribing to live channels, opting to receive notifications when certain on- or off-chain conditions are met.
Polygon has become the go-to platform for web2-based institutions to onboard into web3, such as Meta, Adobe, Stripe, and Starbucks. The new dapps built by these institutions can benefit from the flexible communication offered by Push Protocol, which gives them the ability to have direct control over messages, all while preventing spam. Users expect applications in web3 to provide a similar standard of user experience as they do with the applications they currently use daily. Users interacting with apps on Polygon will have the same user experience they do today when on these platforms by using Push Protocol.
Moreover Smart contracts on Polygon powered by Push Protocol can include notifications that can reach any wallet, app, mobile app, and plugin. Push’s mainnet launch was in January 2022. Since then, the protocol has powered 17 million notifications on over 100 channels to close to 60,000 subscribers, making it the largest decentralized communication platform in web3.
The recent rebrand from EPNS to Push signals two evolutions from the service: the move beyond Ethereum and the move beyond push notifications to all forms of communication. Today’s announcement about Polygon’s integration of Push Protocol is the service’s first move into multi-chain, with more announcements about networks and communication types on the horizon. Let’s push for web3 communication!
About Polygon
Polygon is the leading blockchain development platform, offering scalable, affordable, secure, and sustainable blockchains for Web3. Its growing suite of products offers developers easy access to major scaling solutions including L2 (ZK Rollups and Optimistic Rollups), sidechains, hybrid, stand-alone, and enterprise chains, and data availability. Polygon’s scaling solutions have seen widespread adoption with 37,000+ decentralized applications hosted,1.94B+ total transactions processed, 164M+ unique user addresses, and $5B+ in assets secured. The network is home for some of the biggest Web3 projects such as Aave, Uniswap, OpenSea and well-known enterprises including Meta, Stripe, and Adobe. Lastly, Polygon is carbon neutral with the goal of leading the Web3 ecosystem in becoming carbon negative.
About Push Protocol
Push is the communication protocol of web3. Push protocol enables cross-chain notifications and messaging for dapps, wallets, and services tied to wallet addresses in an open, gasless, and platform agnostic fashion. The open communication layer allows any crypto wallet / frontend to tap into the network and get the communication across.
