y00ts was also one of the most sought-after NFT projects on Solana, from which it migrated to Polygon following the Sam Bankman-Fried debacle last November. In fact, Polygon paid $3 million to see y00ts leave Solana and migrate to Polygon.
Polygon itself is the third-largest blockchain in terms of NFT sales. In the last 24 hours, Polygon saw over $1 million worth of NFt trade on the blockchain. Solana is second with $1.4 million, and Ethereum mainnet is first with $16 million.
