Polygon’s Co-Founders Inspire Kenzi Wang With Remarkable Journey

Symbolic Capital founder Kenzi Wang recently tweeted about their podcast episode with Polygon’s co-founder Jaynti Kanani (JD) quoting “Every conversation with the Polygon founders leaves me inspired”.

The Web3 Unlocked Podcast host termed JD’s journey as one from “humble beginnings to true champions.” According to his tweet, the conversation ranged from from the Polygon founder’s upbringing in India to the early days of MATIC. Accompanied by discussions around how the co-founders function together and a verdict on “Who wins the L2 war and why?”

JD beautifully described that the entry barriers for the web3 industry are as low-entry as a laptop and an internet connection. He added that one doesn’t need to possess an ivy league degree to build any web3 product.

He added that one doesn’t need to possess an ivy league degree to build any web3 product. Moreover, JD shared that he first entered the crypto space when trying to register his first company and faced difficulty in setting up a payment system due to a number of KYCs.

While Kenzi expressed that he thinks of MATIC as an underdog story, he acknowledges the co-founders’ efforts and asks a follow-up question – “How do you avoid burnout?” In response, JD stated that the three co-founder hustle by nature and rarely ever feel tired.

Next, Kenzi asked how Polygon differs from other Layer 2 solutions in the market. JD confesses that over time Polygon has focused on becoming more developer-friendly and EVM-compatible, as well as additional Features on the EVM, to enable scalability which was missing when shifting from Ethereum to other L2 platforms like Uniswap.

In terms of growth strategy, JD agrees that even though Polygon’s goals have always been to “survive” in the market, there has definitely been major growth in terms of expectations that the team is trying to achieve continuously.
