Despite the prolonged bear market trying its hardest to pull many of the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market cap beneath the waves, Polygon (MATIC) has managed to stay afloat, recording 13% gains in the last 7 days. Ranked #14 by market cap, Polygon (MATIC) trades at $0.840088 at the time of writing, according to CoinGecko, putting Polygon among the top gainers of the last week, trailing only Maker (MKR) and Elrond (EGLD), which raked in gains of 13.5% and 15.8% respectively.
According to statistics provided by LunarCrush, Polygon’s native $MATIC ousted popular blockchain game Decentraland as the most mentioned project on Twitter, proving the company’s flexibility since rebranding in 2020.

Polygon’s Long List of Partners
One prominent reason for Polygon’s recent success is its array of newly-formed partnerships. The blockchain company made headlines earlier this year when it was featured in Disney’s ‘Accelerator Program’ for 2022. Additionally, Polygon joined forces with Coca-Cola earlier this year to release a Pride-themed NFT collection.
