Polygon Teams Up with Manifold Trading for Institutional Liquidity
Polygon Labs is partnering with Manifold Trading to bring institutional-grade liquidity standards to DeFi. This collaboration aims to close the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Polygon wants to remain a preferred platform for financial institutions engaging with digital assets.
Polygon CEO Sandeep Nailwal announced the partnership on X, highlighting the goal of improving liquidity management in DeFi.
Meeting Institutional Needs in DeFi
Manifold Trading addresses institutional market demands by integrating TradFi service standards like prime brokerage. It helps solve common DeFi issues such as inefficient large-volume trade execution and settlement delays.
- Manifold ensures optimal trade execution and rapid transaction finality.
- It provides operational certainty to meet compliance and reliability expectations.
- The platform supports deeper order books and tighter spreads.
- Improved market structure benefits all users across the Polygon network.
Polygon recently upgraded its infrastructure, including the Rio hardfork, which enhances reliability by eliminating reorganization risk and allows over 5,000 transactions per second (TPS). Heimdall v2 targets sub-5-second finality for faster settlement, and the Agglayer unifies cross-chain liquidity within a single interoperable framework.
Impact on Polygon’s Growth
The integration of Manifold Trading supports Polygon’s goal to boost enterprise and institutional adoption. It provides the infrastructure needed to manage large capital flows with high-quality execution.
This move represents progress for the maturing DeFi sector. Combining DeFi’s transparency with TradFi’s operational standards, Polygon and Manifold aim to attract the next wave of global financial activity into decentralized finance.
