Polygon: Indian police reports go on Blockchain
Polygon added a new use case to the list: submission of Indian police complaints on Blockchain on the new First Information Report (FIR) portal. The platform is designed to fight corruption in local police departments.
Polygon and FIR come with Indian police complaints on Blockchain
It is called First Information Report (FIR) and is the new portal dedicated to Indian police complaints developed further Polygon’s blockchainused to fight corruption and manipulation of local police departments.
It was announced by Sandeep Nailwalco-founder of Polygon, who described FIR in a series of tweets:
the complaints are manipulated.
With an FIR (First Information Report) going on blockchain, especially if people can get an online platform to file these with their identity, no lower level officer can deny the FIR. This could be a game-changer in securing the right to justice 2/3

“Political Repository (FIR) on blockchain powered by @0xPolygon
This is very close to my heart. We grow up hearing about so many such cases where victims (mostly of rapes) due to corruption in a local police department are not even able to register complaints or the complaints are manipulated.
With an FIR (First Information Report) going on blockchain, especially if people can get an online platform to file these with their identity, no lower level officer can deny the FIR. This could be a game-changer in securing the right to justice.
This was only possible because of the efforts of Hon’ble @IpsAshish Sir, who is a visionary leader in Indian Police Service in India, working tirelessly, going above and beyond the call of duty, to implement and innovate on technology to ensure fair justice. Kudos Sir!”
Essentially, Nailwal describes how the blockchain grievance project is close to his heart because he grew up hearing stories of victims who were denied justice due to local police corruption, many of whom were rape victims.
In this sense, FIR on Polygon, which cannot be manipulated or dismissed by any lower level official, would act precisely as a guarantee of the right to justice.
Polygon and the launch of the blockchain-based grievance portal in Firozabad, India
To begin with, the first information report (FIR) on polygon will be launched in India’s Firozabad district of Uttar Pradesh, which has 2.8 million inhabitants.
Senior Superintendent Ashish Tiwari is the one who made the new integration possibleand because of this Nailwal described him as goes beyond the call of dutyusing technology to ensure fair justice.
While blockchain is officially entering various sectors such as justice, Polygon’s native token (MATIC) remains at $0.8 at the time of writing, still far from the ATH – All Time High (or all-time high) of $2.8 recorded last Christmas 2021.
MATIC is the 12th largest crypto by market value, with a a total market value of over 7 billion dollars and a dominance of 0.74%.
From justice to the future of Web3 and NFT
In Polygon’s other use cases, there can be no shortage of NFTs, so much so that it was recently the leader of the metaverse Brian Turzo has given his own lecture on the future of Web3.
According to Turzo, it appears that NFTswhich has literally already exploded with sky-high sales, will have its own developmentmove from JPEGs to other new types.
Among the many use cases of NFTs, Turzo listed those dedicated to interactive objects for video games, or rewards for customer engagement in commercial or for real estate transactions and more.
An idea that has already been implemented Starbucks Odyssey project, where the famous coffee house chain will use NFTs on Polygon in a new customer loyalty program. And in fact, it will give away NFT stamps to customers and sell premium NFTs, marketing strategies aimed at serve customers with real benefits and experiences.
In this sense, Turzo identifies the future of Web3 in gamification and brand experiencesomething not done by Web2, which only aimed at user engagement.
