DESK is an ERC-20 token that runs on Polygon, a sidechain, or parallel network, to Ethereum.
The DESK system is 100% gasless, meaning you don’t need to purchase and hold Polygon’s native token (MATIC) to cover the transaction fees like how it is on most Web3 sites.
Instead, CoinDesk absorbs those costs to offer our audience an elevated experience.
We use Polygon because the transaction fees are significantly lower than other chains, such as Ethereum’s mainnet.
Polygon is also meaningfully greener than other chains, a value DESK aligns with as purpose-driven tech.
