Wakweli, a web3 infrastructure protocol that issues certificates of authenticity for non-fungible tokens (NFT), has partnered with blockchain platform Polygon to make NFT authentication possible. Under the partnership, all digital assets on Polygon will be compatible with Wakweli's certification system, and NFT project holders on the Polygon chain will be able to request authenticity certificates for each of their assets. Staking the utility token of Wakweli, WAKU, is necessary to create a certificate request, with the amount to stake dependent on the level of trust needed for each case. Wakweli's testnet will be available in April and can be used with Polygon's Mumbai testnet. Alpha testing with Polygon's mainnet will begin in Q2 2023, and general mainnet compatibility is expected to be ready by Q3 2023. The partnership aims to enhance the security of the digital ecosystem by providing a medium for detecting counterfeit NFTs.
