The current crypto bear market has been one of the toughest in the industry’s history. Multiple companies have gone bankrupt, and digital asset prices have plummeted.

However, some projects are still going hard. One of them is Polygon, which partnered with India’s digital commerce giant Flipkart to onboard new users to blockchain.

On Wednesday, Polygon Labs announced that it has partnered with Flipkart, India’s leading digital commerce company. Polygon Labs, Flipkart, and Hang, a new loyalty platform, will launch a loyalty program called Firedrops in India.

The loyalty program will offer millions of Flipkart users experiences like surprises, games, and rewards, incentivizing brand loyalty through gamification. Polygon Labs said the program can potentially “introduce millions of new users to Web3.”

Naren Ravula, VP of Product Strategy and Deployment at Flipkart, said that Web3 and NFT integrations into its brand loyalty programs are “revolutionizing brand marketing, storytelling, and customer engagement.”

“As India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace which is constantly innovating, we recognize the value of customer loyalty and more importantly, the emerging space of Web3 loyalty. We are excited to partner with one of the best in the space for this innovative brand-first rewards and loyalty program.”

Firedrops is currently offering early access to waitlisted users.

On the Flipside

  • The new loyalty program is built on Polygon PoS, which has lower security guarantees than Polygon zkEVM.

Why This Matters

Partnering with established Web2 companies is a great way to onboard millions of new users to blockchain.
