Mythical migrated to Polkadot and scaled to millions of users
Mythical needed fast, reliable gameplay and high transaction throughput but was blocked by network congestion, high fees, and lack of control on an EVM sidechain. By migrating the Mythos ecosystem to Polkadot, they unlocked the scale, speed, and ownership needed to power hits like NFL Rivals and FIFA Rivals.
