Instagram Bringing NFTs to 2.9B People | Sandeep & Mihailo, Polygon

Sandeep Nailwal and Mihailo Bjelic are the Co-Founders of Polygon. They’ve been on Bankless in the past, but not during a time like the one we currently find ourselves in.

However, the bear market is not stopping Polygon from building. Polygon is enabling Instagram to bring NFTs to 2.9B people. And that's not all! They're also working with Stripe to allow USDC payments via Polygon.

Hear how exactly they plan on doing this, what they plan on building next, how they're thinking about the bear market, and so much more!
