I think one of the most impressive things about the story of polygon is it seems the vision was articulated so early and it was articulated before you guys even knew how you were going to get there. Fast forward three four years later and now we're finally here, I'm sure that is just a huge weight off of your shoulders because we're here. So congratsPolygon has gotten its fair share of flak as as we all do in the crypto space over the years and yet you guys have committed to the vision that you set forth your for yourselves very very early and now we are finally here.
Today on the show we welcome back Sandeep and Mihalo, the Co-Founders of Polygon.
Polygon is one of the most used chains in crypto. That in itself is a massive accomplishment. However, there’s been criticism of Polygon in the past, that it’s “just a sidechain.” That it’s not “Ethereum aligned.” The release of Polygon 2.0 will silence these critics. Tune in to understand why.
