As a seasoned entrepreneur, marketer, and web3 grants expert, Mashal brings her experience from @gitcoin, @arbitrum, and @OctantApp, where she authored the State of Web3 Grants Report and built the Octant Accelerator.
For the CTB, she’ll help shape Polygon’s grant program, empowering builders with strong evaluation frameworks and hands-on support to thrive in the ecosystem.

After a successful incubation period, we’re thrilled to announce Miden has spun out of Polygon Labs with a $25M seed, led by @a16zcrypto, @1kxnetwork, and @hack_vc.
Miden will continue building their ZK-powered “edge” blockchain, where both state and execution happen on the client-side, unlocking previously-impossible design space for builders. The team has indicated a plan to airdrop a portion of their native tokens to POL stakers, as well as integrate @Agglayer.
The Agglayer Breakout Program. • incubating high-value chains • increasing network effects on @Agglayer • supporting the future utility of POL • returning value to POL stakers 🪂 https://go.polygon.technology/4jneczs
Introducing the Agglayer Breakout Program–built to incubate aggregated chains, bootstrapping network effects on Agglayer while driving value to POL stakers via airdrops 🪂
The first cohort: • @PrivadoID • @0xPolygonMiden • [redacted]
POL accrues value as a utility token for Agglayer and Polygon, while stakers earn from doing the work: • earning through core features and crosschain activity on Agglayer • earning by providing network security and validating txns on Polygon
