The terrae team analyzed in great detail different blockchain alternatives to deploy the project. The main requirements we were looking for in a blockchain were:
EVM compatible to be able to deploy contracts developed in Solidity, since our team has a wide expertise in development using this technology;
Fast transactions, to be able to deploy a game that runs without affecting gameplay;
Negligible transaction costs, to facilitate access to as many people as possible;
The blockchain should have a professional team behind it to develop and maintain it;
The blockchain should have a good community to support us if problems arise;
At the same time, it should be adopted by the community, so that it does not generate rejection.
Terrae team decided to launch the project on Polygon: a 3rd generation EVM compatible blockchain. Polygon combines the best of Ethereum and sovereign blockchains into a full-fledged multi-chain system. Some of its major features:
Nearly zero gas fees
Fast speed: block time between 2s and 3s
Scalability: 7.2k TPS
Open, powerful, inherently secure
Interoperability protocol to exchange messages with Ethereum
Easy to adopt by Ethereum developers
