Polygon co-founder Jaynti Kanani announced that he is “stepping back from his day job” at the project for the first time in six years.
In an October 4 X (formerly Twitter) post, Kanani explain He plans to focus on “new adventures” while contributing to Polygon “from the side.” Kanani helped create Matic Network, later renamed Polygon, in 2017 along with software engineers such as Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun and Mihailo Bjelic.
“Man, this is exciting to me,” explain Nailwal responded to the announcement. “Man, what a ride we’ve had together. But it’s just the beginning of Polygon and I hope we can do more, longer things together on this crazy ride with Polygon. But hey, you gotta do you Something that must be done.”
After launching Polygon in 2017, I decided to quit my day job about 6 months ago.
I am even more confident about Polygon’s bright future and passionate community. I will focus on new adventures while still cheering and contributing to Polygon…
