Episode notes

Sandeep and Mantle are the co-founders of Polygon. This episode, we're going to get into all of Polygon 2.0 because there's a big update. We're getting some changes to the Polygon token. The technology transition from the proof of stake to the ZK EVM will be discussed.

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.
