DraftKings chose Polygon for its blockchain-based marketplace due to its efficiency, seamless transaction capabilities, and strong relationship with the Polygon team. The speaker notes Polygon's scale and ability to handle high transaction volumes, especially during peak periods like football season, making it a suitable choice for large-scale NFT-based games. He expresses high expectations for deepening the relationship and future developments.
