DappRadar also revealed that the leeway has contributed a lot to Polygon’s growth. This was evidenced by the fact that of the top five dApps in the Polygon ecosystem, three of them came from the gaming space in the last 24 hours. The game apps were Pandara War, Sunflower Land and Planet IX.

MATIC continues its fight
While the blockchain’s gaming ecosystem thrived, its native token, MATIC, failed to green its chart. From CoinMarketCap, MATIC fell more than 14% in the past seven days. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.5808 with a market cap of over $5.4 billion.
A look at Polygon’s stats suggested that the downtrend could continue. The exchange reserve of the token increased. An increase in the statistic means that sales are under pressure MATIC stayed high. Active addresses and transfer volume also fell, which looked bearish.
