Sandeep Nailwal is the new head of the Polygon Foundation and is moving the focus on POS and AGGLAYER
- Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal is now also head of the foundation. He says goodbye to the ZK-EVM and puts POS-Chain and scaling of Agglayer in the foreground.
- The polygon pos strives for 100,000 TPS, and Agglayer 3 will be introduced this month to standardize the chains and to deliver pole value for stakers.
Nailwal referred to the need for courageous decisions and stronger focus on priorities as the main reasons for his takeover of the chief post.
The foundation, which supervises several units of the polygon group, including polygon labs, will now work under a centralized management model to make development faster and more efficient.
Nailwal said that institutional leadership led to surgical delays and slowed the progress. In one Bloomberg-Interview He confirmed that polygon had to return to a “zero-to-one” startup mode.
Is described The current moment as a reset in which quick decisions and user -centered approaches have priority over decentralized leadership. Marc Boiron will continue to act as CEO of Polygon Labs, Mudit Guppa as CTO and Ryan Wyatt as a COO.
POS-Chain should scale-the ZK-EVM is abolished
Nailwal said that the polygon ZK-EVM will be out of date at the end of 2025. The decision results from developmental restrictions and strategic misalignment. He confirmed that the sequencer will run for another 12 months and that projects that change to the POS-Chain polygon will receive grants.
The Polygon POS-Chain will now be the decisive instrument for the development and scaling. Nailwal based the “Gigagas Roadmap” based on which the network performance is to be brought to over 100,000 TPs (transactions per second) in the next few years.
The step of the upgrade is made and the test network already has a capacity of over 1,000 TPS. By the third quarter, further improvements are expected that aim at a finality of less than one second and zero reorgs, with 5,000 TPs already being achieved in a Devnet.
The upgrade in Bhilai, which is planned for July, is intended to bring faster finality, lower gas fees and integration with agglayers. These steps position polygon POS as a key infrastructure for stablecoin transactions and real-world asset payments (RWA). According to Nailwal, the increase in performance will increase the economic value of the protocol and benefit from pole stakers directly from it.
Agglayer becomes the linchpin of interoperability
Agglayer becomes the central point of the System strategy of polygon. The new Agglayer version is scheduled to come onto the market in the last week of June. According to Nailwal, with the exception of the fast interoperability, which is to be completed by the end of the 3rd quarter, it will contain all new functions. The foundation also gives Agglayer a new name that is directly to the Identity of Polygon leaning.
Agglayer combines fragmented blockchains into a trust -free, scalable network layer. As part of the Agglayer Breakout program, polygon will continue to resolve projects in order to increase the focus on the ecosystem. These outsourcing will also lead to polar drops for stakers. The next such initiative, Polygon Zisk, will be managed by Jordi Baylina and focuses on applied zero knowledge (ZK) research.
Although he withdraws from ZKEVM, Nailwal confirmed that polygon will continue to contribute to ZK development in a neutral, modular way. As part of the breakout program, projects such as Katana Network have already been graduated. Katana started his private Mainnet on May 28 to support liquidity and yield within Agglayer.
Clear regulation and new market strategy
Nailwal announced that the US stock exchange supervision SEC has discontinued the investigation and complaints in connection with Matic. He said that the complaints should not have been submitted in view of the nature of Matic and the successor token Pol. The solution has led to a renewed interest of global marketmakers, which increased the liquidity for pole on all stock exchanges.
The foundation will also carry out reconnaissance campaigns to inform users about the upgrade path from Matic to Pol. Nailwal explained that important updates will now be carried out directly via his personal Twitter account. He encouraged his followers to activate notifications for real-time announcements.
In the course of this strategic realignment, internal leadership changes also occur. Co -founder Mihailo Bjelic resigned on May 24th and, together with other participants from the very beginning, like Jynti Kanani and Anurag Arjun, has withdrawn from day -to -day business. Nailwal said that these steps mark a transition back to polygons roots in the early phase, where the focus is on quick implementation and scaling.
Polygon was founded in 2017 as a Matic Network and contributed to POS and ZK scaling innovations. Nailwal emphasized that the system must now pass from a research center to a user -centered development, which takes into account the considerable shifts in the crypto industry.
The current polarity course is $ 0.238732. In the last 24 hours it has increased by 7.65% to $ 0.2176 after reaching a low of 0.1965. The daily turnover is $ 180.79 million, an increase of 47.81 percent.
