The introduction of Pudgy World Alpha powered by zkSync in early 2024 is poised to have a positive impact on the NFT market.
The utilization of zkSync technology enhances scalability and efficiency, addressing common challenges such as high gas fees and slow transaction processing on the Ethereum network.
This improvement is likely to attract more participants to the NFT space, fostering increased engagement and trading activity. As Pudgy Penguins NFTs experience a surge in value, the broader NFT market may witness heightened interest and investment.
Additionally, zkSync, being at the core of the pudgy penguin development, stands to gain recognition and adoption, solidifying its position as a promising scaling solution for NFT platforms and potentially influencing its widespread application across the blockchain ecosystem.
This could help gain the L2 network cover more ground in its sector.
