Sentient @SentientAGI Another reason why this project has unlimited potential is because the team members are insanely strong. It's a hexagonal warrior project with maxed-out resources, technology, and funding.
Sandeep is the Co-founder of @SentientAGI and also the CEO of Polygon Foundation. When he came to Shenzhen for an offline event, I had a quick chat with him. Their team is super dedicated—every co-founder personally flies to different countries to host offline events and introduce the project.
In June, Sandeep Nailwal announced:
He would personally take on the role of CEO of Polygon Foundation and fully take charge of the project's direction. The reason is straightforward: Polygon needs more centralized leadership to refocus on its core strategy. Plus, he’s the largest holder of POL and has been committed to the development and success of @0xPolygon since the beginning.
Initially, he hoped Polygon Foundation could operate in a fully institutionalized manner, but now he believes that structure is too slow and conservative. Polygon must return to its startup roots, becoming faster and more agile.
Sandeep’s statement is essentially a reset:
Polygon once aimed to become an institutional-grade Ethereum Layer 2, but the institutional pace is too slow, and the market dynamics have shifted:
From the research era → to the user era. So, he decided to turn Polygon back into a bold, risk-taking startup.
(Hahaha, basically they wanted to become like a state-owned enterprise, but realized it’s too inefficient and conservative. Startups are still the way to go!)
So, Polygon will also undergo directional changes:
1️⃣ Focus on two main tracks: Polygon PoS + Agglayer
Starting next year, zkEVM maintenance will stop.
Polygon PoS will focus on stablecoin payments and RWA scenarios;
Agglayer aims to create a trustless multi-chain internet, combining elements of Cosmos + LayerZero.
Other side projects will be cut back to focus on the main tracks.
2️⃣ Performance upgrades: Gigagas plan to launch on testnet
Polygon PoS throughput will increase to 1000+ TPS, with a future goal of <1-second finality and 5,000+ TPS.
This means Polygon PoS will once again become one of the most high-performance public chains in the market.
For POL stakers, this is a direct benefit as network revenue will increase.
3️⃣ Agglayer v0.3 launch
4️⃣ Continuation of the Breakout plan
New projects will continue to be incubated within the Agglayer ecosystem;
Each new project’s airdrop will reward POL stakers.
Meanwhile, the ZK research division will be spun off into a new independent team, such as Polygon ZisK.
5️⃣ SEC has dropped its investigation into MATIC
Market makers are starting to return;
This brings stronger liquidity to POL.
6️⃣ Unified branding
Agglayer will be fully integrated into the Polygon brand.
