One of the largest apparel companies, Nike has launched a new Web3 platform called .Swoosh aimed to offer Polygon (MATIC/USD)-based non-fungible token (NFT) products.
Polygon is a blockchain scaling platform, one aiming to scale Ethereum (ETH/USD) compatible blockchain networks as a Layer-2 solution powered by the MATIC cryptocurrency.
The launch of .Swoosh as a catalyst for growth
In the latest Polygon news, Nike has become one of the largest fashion-world companies to enter Web3 through RTFKT, an NFT and digital apparel startup it acquired in 2021.
The .Swoosh platform aims to be the center of Nike’s digital efforts within Web3. This platform will be used to launch virtual apparel like t-shirts and sneakers for avatars which can be used within Web3 games.
Each of these NFTs will also be minted on top of Polygon, where the previous Nike and RTFK drops were launched directly through Ethereum. Polygon officially confirmed this on November 14, 2022, on Twitter.
