Lugano City App to Integrate Polygon for Enhanced Crypto Experience

The MyLugano payment app, a cornerstone in Lugano, Switzerland, recently underwent a significant overhaul.

Its latest iteration includes a dedicated section tailored for proficient users, providing access to an intricate multi-chain cryptocurrency wallet system reminiscent of MetaMask.

This enhanced platform introduces ckBTC, termed as Crypto Key Bitcoin Tokens, representing a pioneering digital asset anchored in Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) technology, per MyLugano’s official sources.

Going beyond conventional transactional capabilities, MyLugano now serves as a gateway to a diverse range of decentralized applications (dApps), complemented by an exclusive loyalty program powered by LVGA, Lugano’s proprietary stablecoin.
