Hex Trust has successfully integrated Polygon, the full-stack scaling solution on Ethereum, into its digital asset custody platform Hex Safe™. As a result, Hex Trust now offers fully-licensed and highly-secure custody for Polygon’s native token (MATIC) with plans to support non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the full stack of services built on Polygon.
The integration enables Hex Trust’s 200+ institutional clients to be able to trade, lend, and stake Polygon tokens, all without needing them to send their assets outside of the secure custody platform Hex Safe™.
Polygon is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building and connecting two major types of solutions – Secured chains (Layer 2 blockchains) and Stand-alone chains (Sidechains).
Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system or Internet of Blockchains. This multi-chain system is akin to other ones with major upsides:
It is able to fully benefit from Ethereum’s network effects
It is inherently more secure.
It is more open and powerful, primarily in terms of the architecture types it can support.
Giorgia Pellizzari, Head of Custody at Hex Trust
“At Hex Trust, we have a multi-chain vision for the digital asset industry, where digital assets no matter what chain they’re on, are seamlessly available on our universal custody platform, Hex Safe. As a result, it’s integral to integrate successful chains like Polygon which is widely recognized as a full-stack Ethereum scaling solution demonstrated by its impressive market traction. Polygon’s highly-scalable approach makes it appealing and easily accessible for both institutional and retail clients alike, especially with their adherence to compliance and regulation. We’re looking forward to working closely with Polygon moving forwards and building our ecosystems together in DeFi, the metaverse, and NFTs.”
Hex Trust will be working closely with Polygon moving forwards as institutions continue to enter the digital asset economy, actively participate in the DeFi ecosystem, and utilize NFTs in the metaverse and Web3 space.
