PSA: After much thought and reflection, I’ve decided to step down from the board of the Polygon Foundation, and wind down my day-to-day involvement with Polygon Labs.

I was introduced to crypto in 2013 (damn, time flies). By 2017, I was deep down the rabbit hole, fascinated by the idea of a global, inclusive economic layer of the society. Since then, I’ve devoted myself to helping materialize that inspiring vision. Polygon was born in 2019, and we’ve come a long way since then. From significant breakthroughs in zero-knowledge tech, to onboarding some of the world’s biggest brands, we’ve made meaningful strides toward that grand vision. I’m proud of this, and grateful for the privilege to work with so many talented people.

As projects evolve and mature, it is natural for visions to evolve, and sometimes diverge. With this in mind, I can no longer contribute to Polygon to the best of my abilities. That said, I remain confident that Polygon leadership is committed to the success of the project. I’ll always be cheering from the sidelines, and supporting however and whenever I can.

I remain as passionate as ever about the promise of crypto, its potential to transform systems, empower individuals, and create a more equitable world. That belief continues to inspire and guide me, and you will likely still see me around.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.
