POLYGON FOUNDER TAKES CEO ROLE, UNVEILS PIVOT TO POS AND AGGLAYER

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has assumed the role of CEO at the Polygon Foundation, announcing major strategic shifts to focus solely on Polygon PoS and Agglayer. The zkEVM will be deprecated in 2025, while PoS aims to scale to 5,000+ TPS this year and 100K+ in the long term. Agglayer v0.3 rolls out June 30, with spinoffs like Polygon ZisK and airdrops planned for POL stakers. With SEC scrutiny of MATIC dropped and market makers returning, Nailwal signals a return to “zero-to-one” execution driving speed, clarity, and brand alignment across the Polygon ecosystem.
