It's backed by, and operates on, the Polygon blockchain network.
This is outdated. Later official Zoop materials say the platform’s NFTs are hosted on Hedera, not Polygon.
Full reasoning
Zoop’s early 2022 announcement said it planned to build on Polygon, but later official Zoop materials say the platform runs on Hedera instead.
Two concrete pieces of evidence contradict the article’s present-tense Polygon claim:
- Zoop’s own NFT terms state: “Each Zoop NFT is a non-fungible token hosted on the Hedera blockchain.” That directly conflicts with the statement that Zoop operates on Polygon.
- An official Zoop/Business Wire release from October 27, 2022 announced a “global platform launch on Hedera” and says Zoop “is on enterprise-grade public ledger Hedera.”
So the Wikipedia sentence appears to preserve Zoop’s initial Polygon plan while missing the later move to Hedera. In present tense, saying Zoop “operates on” Polygon is inaccurate.
