Polygon’s Endgame: Polygon 2.0 with Sandeep Nailwal & Mihailo Bjelic

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.
