According to has Polygon co-founder Branden Farmer, parallelized EVM can help has solve THE issue of inscription spam.

Inscriptions, A form of digital collectible created by in writing data In THE call data Or witness the fields of A blockchain transaction, to have cause degraded performance Or even crash on several blockchain networks, including Arbitration, zkSync, avalanche And others.

A few users saw THE new collectibles as A advantage has THE network, while others considered them as "spam".

But THE craze doesn't stop with Bitcoin. Soon, inscription producers begin struck them on Ethereum side chains And layer-2 such as Arbitration, avalanche And Polygon. Instead of be writing In THE witness field of A Bitcoin transaction, This new type of inscription was writing In THE "call data" field of A Based on EVM network. From call data doesn't get stored In A clever the contract State, This allowed producers has create their collectibles has A fraction of THE cost of struck A traditional non-fungible token (NFT).
