Co-founder and new CEO Sandeep Nailwal opens up about dissolving Polygon’s board, closing zkEVM and why claiming sole leadership is the network’s best shot at relevance.
Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal is charting a new course for the network, backing a singular leadership model as essential to its future.
In an interview with Cointelegraph, Nailwal said the shift away from board-led governance isn’t just a structural change but a strategic response to inefficiencies that have slowed Polygon’s momentum.
On June 11, he announced he would take over as CEO of the Polygon Foundation, describing the decision as necessary to bring “clear direction and focused execution” to the project’s next chapter.
