CALGARY, AB, May 17, 2022 /CNW/ - DeepMarkit Corp., ("DeepMarkit" or the "Company") (TSXV: MKT) (OTC: MKTDF) (FRA: DEP), a company focused on transitioning the global carbon offset market to the more accessible digital economy by minting credits into non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), is pleased to announce it has entered into a strategic collaborative arrangement (the "Collaboration") with Polygon, Inc. (MATIC) ("Polygon"), which is an Ethereum scaling platform onboarding millions to Web3. DeepMarkit will leverage the power of Polygon's carbon-neutral network to enable the minting of carbon credits into NFTs on the blockchain via the Company's MintCarbon.io platform, anticipated to launch by the end of May, 2022.
Under the Collaboration, DeepMarkit expects to benefit from Polygon's technical and business support for the entire MintCarbon.io platform. Polygon Studios, an organization onboarding brands, developers, and creators to Web3 through investment, marketing, and community support, will provide cross-promotional assistance for MintCarbon.io by identifying opportunities for other collaborations with new potential clients. Polygon is the infrastructure development solution of choice for token minting platforms such as MintCarbon.io because it is secure, fast, and energy-efficient Polygon's blockchain enables single or small batch transfers or retirements of carbon credit NFTs to be economically viable as compared to on the Ethereum blockchain, where high transaction fees mean that only large batch transfers or retirements can be completed at a reasonable cost.
Polygon's consensus mechanism, which is the way that transactions are written to the blockchain, is proof-of-stake thereby making it a low emission solution compared to other blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Polygon recently became carbon-neutral, and has committed to going 'carbon negative' in 2022, which aligns strongly with DeepMarkit's values.
Polygon is a layer-2 scaling solution that works on top of the Ethereum blockchain According to Polygon, it can process up to 65,000 transactions per second with fees costing less than a fraction of a cent, plus network fees. By processing batches of transactions on its proprietary blockchain, Polygon enables cost-effective and fast transaction turnaround times.

Management Commentary
Jaslyn Wang, APAC Growth at Polygon said, "DeepMarkit's delivery of MintCarbon.io's carbon offset token platform produces a great synthesis with Polygon and our sustainability goals. Minting carbon offset NFTs to build out a more accessible carbon offset market also aligns with Polygon's broader ambition to furnish environmental-focused projects with the tools they need to thrive."
"Establishing a strategic relationship with Polygon was an easy decision for DeepMarkit and it is enabling our MintCarbon.io platform to handle higher transaction volumes at a lower cost. In recent years, scalability issues plagued many cryptocurrency and blockchain projects, but Polygon has developed a solution via its product suite for efficiently scaling Ethereum applications. With the launch of MintCarbion.io drawing near, this Collaboration is ultimately expected to benefit current offset holders who are waiting to come onto our platform and projects generating new carbon offset credits worldwide on an ongoing basis," added Ranjeet Sundher, Interim CEO of DeepMarkit.
