### **Blockchain Stack**
Playcent is built on ethereum and runs on Matic blockchain. We initially chose Ethereum back in 2019 due to the number of developers building on the platform, and the ability to build an MVP quickly. As time passed it became clear that building a blockchain UGC Platform solely on Ethereum would not be feasible from a scalability standpoint.
We have chose Matic Network as our scaling solution due to the high performance and security of our infrastructure\
\
Among the data generated from the Playcent ecosystem, any items that are transaction-related are recorded in the Matic blockchain in the form of Tx\
\
All inputted data is disclosed transparently due to the nature of the blockchain. Gamers, consumers and developers participating in the Playcent ecosystem can view this data and use it for decision making, etc. The data stored in the blockchain is not large-capacity, such as images, videos or long text. Those items are stored in a corresponding database. Data stored on the blockchain is data related to key activities.
