Polygon is net 5 jaar oud geworden! hier is een (snelle en niet-technische) terugblik: 🧵

"Polygon is back" I keep hearing this. here's my take having been at Polygon for 3 years: → the products: the focus is finally sharp: make Polygon PoS the go-to chain for payments and RWAs. Connect all web3 through Agglayer. A year ago, we were spread thin across too many verticals and side projects. Now? those distractions have been spun off, killed or pivoted. no more scattered side quests. → the shipping: Polygon PoS roadmap is aggressive, and just shipped 1,000tps with 5,000 by EOY and 100,000 in 2026. Agglayer just shipped v0.3. Katana testnet → mainnet in a month. we're dialed in. no delays, just execution. → the social energy: polygon socials have found their groove. You'll notice more Polygon employees active on X, that's not a coincidence. there's a real movement internally to grow our own brands (and be rewarded for it). the voice feels aligned again → the people: the org used to be super bloated (like 400 people). there were a lot of web2 folks brought in that, quite frankly, brought more harm than help. Now we're around 200 ppl. Smaller teams, stronger culture. The people here now are sharp, strategic thinkers who also know how to execute. only A++ team members. And there’s genuine excitement again. Feels like a startup again. → the ambitions: @sandeepnailwal has an always will be an OG founder. I've seen his excitement and eagerness grow tenfold these past 6 months. And taking on the position of CEO of Polygon Foundation will have positive effects across the org. This paired with the ambition (and competitiveness) of other leadership (cough cough @0xMarcB @Mudit__Gupta @leons_stern @web3RyanN +more) is making for a really killer L-team. 2023 polygon felt lost and was out of sync. 2024 was a rebuilding year. 2025 = polygon is so back.

Wat is Polygon in hemelsnaam? Weet iemand dat eigenlijk? PoS, Miden, Supernets, Edge, Nightfall, Hermez, PolygonID, Zero, Plonky, ZKDIT, ZKDAT, wat is zk in hemelsnaam!!! Ik was ook in de war. Dus hier is een korte @0xPolygon geschiedenis (en voornamelijk niet-technische) uitleg 🧵

staat van het ecosysteem

Polygon heeft in de afgelopen 7 jaar 5 logo-wijzigingen ondergaan. Toch weten veel mensen nog steeds niet welk logo ze moeten gebruiken. Een kort overzicht van de evolutie van het Polygon-merk en WELK LOGO het juiste is om te gebruiken 🧵

polymarket gebruikt polygon... simply omdat het verdomd goedkoop is. letterlijk zijn de kosten voor transacties op Polygon ongeveer $0,007

Vandaag heb ik mijn 3-jarig jubileum bij Polygon bereikt. Wat een wilde 3 jaar zijn het geweest! Ik ben er nog steeds. Nog steeds bullish. Het voelt nog steeds alsof ik net ben begonnen.
