What is Polygon and why are we using it for NFTs?
At Artega, we use the Polygon network to publish NFTs—but if you're new to crypto, you might be wondering what that means. Don’t worry, we’ll break it down in simple terms!
What is an NFT?
An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique digital item that can be owned, bought, and sold—just like a physical painting or a collectible. NFTs prove ownership of digital art, music, tickets, and more, all recorded securely on a blockchain.
What is a blockchain?
A blockchain is a special kind of database that securely records transactions. Think of it like a public ledger that anyone can check, but no one can change.
Why are we using Polygon?
Polygon is a blockchain network that makes transactions faster, cheaper, and more eco-friendly than using Ethereum alone. This means:
✅ Lower fees when buying or selling NFTs
✅ Faster transactions (no long wait times)
✅ A more sustainable way to publish NFTs
Do I need to know crypto to use Artega?
Nope! We handle the technical stuff so you can focus on enjoying and collecting great art. If you're curious and want to learn more, check out Polygon’s website here.
