Users buy or sell items from one another with the current version of MapleStory's currency. However, the Polygon supernet will allow players will be able to earn and collect NFT items through gameplay to unlock various benefits or utility across the ecosystem.
Polygon supernets are a customizable, modular and extensible blockchain stack that developers can use to create custom networks for existing applications.
Polygon's native MATIC tokens are up 5.5% in the past 24 hours.
