Polygon's decentralized predictions market, Polymarket, has seen significant popularity this year, with users placing bets on various events such as presidential elections and HBO documentaries. However, the success of Polymarket has not translated into relief for holders of Polygon's ailing tokens, as the project's token price is down 65% this year. Despite the boom in usage, Polymarket has only generated $27,000 in transaction fees for Polygon PoS in 2024. This is partly due to the market-based fees on Polygon PoS, which are currently extremely cheap. Additionally, the volume of transactions on Polymarket does not compare to high-intensity applications like decentralized exchanges. However, Polymarket's popularity has brought attention to the wider Polygon ecosystem, which could lead to increased usage and success in the future.
