Co-founder of Polygon Sandeep Nailwal was appointed CEO of Polygon Foundation on June 11, 2025. This became part of a strategic restructuring aimed at accelerating decision-making and strengthening Polygon's position in the competitive Layer-2 blockchain environment. Nailwal will focus on long-term strategy, developing key ecosystem initiatives such as AggLayer, and enhancing value for users, applications, and POL token holders. This move marks a shift from a decentralized governance model based on co-founder consensus to a more centralized leadership under Nailwal.
