Polygon is the Swiss Army Knife of Scaling. With a suite of scaling products, Polygon is pushing in many directions to scale out the Ethereum ecosystem. On the heels of the 'Abandoning Ethereum' twitter drama, Sandeep and Mihailo from Polygon come on the podcast to discuss how Ethereum is, in fact, not abandoning its users. A ton has happened in the world of Polygon in the six months since they were last on the show, including a partnership with DraftKings and massive leaps into the Metaverse. ✨ EPISODE DEBRIEF ✨ https://shows.banklesshq.com/p/exclusive-debrief-the-swiss-army  ------ 🚀 SUBSCRIBE TO NEWSLETTER: https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/  🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO PODCAST: http://podcast.banklesshq.com/  ------ 📣 OPOLIS | YOUR CRYPTO CAREER https://bankless.cc/Opolis  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: ⚖️ ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🍵 MATCHA | DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGE AGGREGATOR https://bankless.cc/Matcha  🔐 LEDGER | SECURE YOUR ASSETS https://bankless.cc/Ledger  🧙‍♀️ ALCHEMIX | SELF-PAYING LOANS http://bankless.cc/Alchemix  ------ Topics Covered: 0:00 Intro 6:00 Sandeep & Mihalo Return 8:20 Not Abandoning Ethereum 15:27 Adoption of Ethereum 24:06 On Maximalism 29:52 A Portfolio of Chains 37:47 The Mission 44:50 Tokens & Unifying Forces 49:42 Is Polygon an ETH Killer? 54:33 Polygon vs Alt Layer 1’s 1:04:40 Checkpointing to Ethereum 1:08:53 Bridges & Sidechains 1:18:00 Facts & Tribalism 1:22:50 zkRollups & Miden 1:29:12 Apps & DraftKings 1:34:00 On-Ramp to the Metaverse 1:37:09 The Roadmap 1:42:10 Closing & Disclaimers ------ Resources: Sandeep on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sandeepnailwal?s=20  Mihailo on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MihailoBjelic?s=20  Announcing Polygon Miden: https://twitter.com/0xPolygon/status/1460609713922457606?s=20  Polygon Metaverse: https://twitter.com/MihailoBjelic/status/1456091349745295362?s=20  Modular Blockchains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjxyjgWiqLE&t=3276s&ab_channel=Bankless  ----- Not financial or tax advice.
