Episode notes

Polygon PS chain is one of the most used chains in the industry. It has 300 million plus end user wallets or addresses, whatever you want to call them. We decided to put forward this proposal to upgrade it to ZK Validium. This means all transactions on Polygon PS chain would be proven back on Ethereum and it would become the first decentralized layer two in the Etherum ecosystem.

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.
