Polygon

Founded under the name of Matic Network in 2017, Polygon provides technologies to help make transactions on Ethereum faster and cheaper. Early on, the protocol was known for its work with NFTs, but its main developer, Polygon Labs, has pivoted its focus to stablecoins. Prominent users of Polygon's blockchain tools include buzzy prediction market Polymarket. Founders Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun, Mihailo Bjelic, and Jaynti Kanani have steadily expanded the company's offerings to cross-chain protocols and other scaling solutions. As of June 2026, the only remaining founder on the team is Nailwal.
