Behance, Adobe’s social network, is adding support for Polygon’s cryptocurrency platform, allowing users to easily view Polygon-based non-fungible or NFT tokens.
This integration with Polygon is powered by infrastructure provider Alchemy. The company is promoting Polygon integration as a more environmentally conscious way for artists to create NFT, which Behance began supporting late last year.
This environmental friendliness is part of Adobe’s ongoing expansion into coding, as well as an effort to calm artists worried about its potential negative effects.
The Polygon platform runs on the Ethereum blockchain, and has a smaller power footprint for individual crypto transactions. It also avoids the huge transaction costs associated with Ethereum.
On the other hand, Polygon’s popularity continues to add more total traffic to the power-hungry Ethereum system, which was supposed to start with a more efficient validation system but hasn’t yet done so.
Artists can with this new feature NFT instrument with Polygon in OpenSea. The image associated with it can be viewed via Behance and directed viewers to OpenSea where they can purchase it.
Adobe began adding NFT support in late 2021, starting with a program called Content Credentials. This program links the creator’s referral details to the NFT image in Photoshop.
Her interest in crypto assets intersects with an earlier program called the Content Authenticity Initiative, which pairs photos with details about who created them and whether they have been modified.
Unlike a non-blockchain-based system, NFT is highly contentious. Some of the most vocal criticism has focused on its environmental cost.
Although this move is unlikely to allay those fears. But it is an indication that Adobe is familiar with it.

Behance also announced that users can now connect their Phantom wallet to their Behance accounts and display non-fungible NFT Solana tokens in their profiles.
Phantom is a Solana wallet designed for decentralized finance, or DeFi applications as well as for NFT. QuickNode, the Web3 infrastructure platform, helped create this feature with Adobe via Solana.
Content creators within Behance can display their non-fungible tokens via the Ethereum blockchain within their profiles.
William Allen, Adobe’s vice president who leads Behance, explained via Twitter that many Behance users may not want to associate with Ethereum due to concerns about its high energy use and gas costs.
Allen tweeted that Solana is a proof-of-stake series that addresses these concerns. He noted that a single transaction via Solana uses as power as a Google search and costs a fraction of a penny.
Phantom explained that this integration is huge for Solana ‘s creators’ economy as it offers artists an environmentally friendly, low-cost way to experiment with NFT technologies.
