Polygon's Interaction with Other Ecosystems and the Vision for Polygon 2.0

What started out as Matic Network, in 2017, and later rebranded to Polygon, in 2021, it is now facing another major milestone: Polygon 2.0. Apart from a tokenomics update, their plans include building an aggregation layer for every scaling solution that will settle on Ethereum. This will not only provide crucial rollup interoperability, but it will also further offload Ethereum by recursively combining multiple proofs into a single one.

We were joined by Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, for a fascinating discussion on Polygon’s future revamp, their views on infrastructure decentralisation and interoperability.

Topics covered in this episode:

• Sandeep’s background and the vision behind Matic
• Polygon 2.0
• ZK rollup vs. Validium
• Multi-purpose sharding
• Tokenomics
• Staking decentralisation
• Interoperability
• The multi-chain future outlook
• Blockchain adoption and use cases
