The objective is to leverage the highly scalable and efficient infrastructure that Polygon and Cardano are providing, to bridge two of the most promising ecosystems at the moment. For MELD, this brings more liquidity, token choices, and DeFi integration from Polygon to Cardano, and exposes MELD products and services to Polygon. In short, MELDers can develop and establish standards on a promising new ecosystem, while still having exposure to liquidity, DeFi integration, and many users from proven chains through Polygon.
