Sandeep Nailwal正式担任Polygon Foundation的首席执行官职位，更新路线图

新首席执行官将巩固控制和重新定位团队朝着Agglayer - Polygon的新跨链流动性协议

Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has officially assumed the role of CEO of the Polygon Foundation, consolidating control and pivoting the organization toward its new cross-chain liquidity protocol, AggLayer.

Polygon联合创始人Sandeep Nailwal已正式担任Polygon基金会首席执行官的角色，巩固控制并将组织枢转朝着其新的跨链流动性协议Agglayer旋转。

The move, announced Monday, is part of a broader strategic reset for the blockchain network, which is also winding down its zkEVM experiment and shifting focus toward real-world financial assets (RWAs).

周一宣布的此举是区块链网络更广泛的战略重置的一部分，该网络还将其ZKEVM实验结束，并将重点转移到现实世界中的金融资产（RWAS）上。

"This renewed control marks the beginning of a strategic push for Polygon to reclaim its position at the forefront of Web3," the team stated in a press release.

该团队在新闻稿中说：“这种更新的控制标志着多边形在Web3的最前沿地位的战略推动力的开始。”

As chief executive, Nailwal will oversee long-term planning, guide key ecosystem initiatives, and ensure that the foundation — which umbrellas key entities like Polygon Labs — delivers "exponential growth, increased focus and greater value to POL stakers."

作为首席执行官，Nailwal将监督长期计划，指导关键的生态系统计划，并确保基金会（Polygon Labs）的基金会（Polygon Labs）提供了“指数级增长，增加的重点和对Pol Stakers的价值更高”。

In its early days, Polygon’s proof-of-stake sidechain marketed itself as a low-cost, fast alternative to Ethereum, providing users with access to decentralized apps without the burden of high gas fees. It quickly rose to prominence as a go-to Ethereum scaling solution.

在早期，Polygon的Stake Sidechain证明是作为以太坊的低成本，快速替代品的销售，为用户提供了访问分散的应用程序而没有高汽油费用的负担。作为首选以太坊缩放解决方案，它迅速引起了人们的关注。

But activity has since cooled. Total value locked (TVL) across Polygon networks has fallen to around $1 billion, down nearly 90% from its June 2021 peak of $9.79 billion, according to DefiLlama.

但是活动已经冷却了。根据Defillama的数据，多边形网络的总价值锁定（TVL）已跌至10亿美元，比2021年6月的峰值下降了近90％。

Polygon has also ceded ground to a new wave of Ethereum scaling networks — namely "layer-2 rollups" like Optimism and Arbitrum — which offer similar user experiences but with tighter Ethereum compatibility and more sophisticated security systems.

Polygon还将地面割让到新一波的以太坊缩放网络（即乐观和仲裁之类的“第2层汇总”），它们提供了类似的用户体验，但具有更紧密的以太坊兼容性和更复杂的安全系统。

Polygon's own rollup, zkEVM, ranks just 27th by TVL among layer-2s, according to L2Beat, trailing well behind its newer competitors.

根据L2Beat的说法，Polygon自己的汇总ZKEVM仅在第2层中排名第27位，落后于新的竞争对手。

Now, the zkEVM experiment is being phased out. Polygon said it will sunset the zkEVM Mainnet Beta in 2026, citing developer friction, architectural limitations, and sluggish adoption. "To ensure a smooth transition, the sequencer will remain live for the next twelve months and the network will continue to be fully operational," the team noted.

现在，ZKEVM实验正在逐步淘汰。 Polygon表示，它将在2026年日落ZKEVM Mainnet Beta，并以开发人员的摩擦，建筑限制和采用缓慢的方式来日落。该团队指出：“为了确保顺利过渡，音序器将在接下来的十二个月中保持生命，并且网络将继续完全运行。”

The decision also comes with a key personnel shift: Jordi Baylina, Polygon's zero-knowledge research lead, will be leaving the foundation to spin out his own project, ZisK.

该决定还带来了关键的人员转变：Polygon的零知识研究负责人Jordi Baylina将离开基金会启动自己的项目Zisk。

"We wish Jordi all the best in his endeavors and look forward to seeing what ZisK achieves in the years to come," the team stated.

该团队说：“我们希望乔迪在他的努力中一切顺利，并期待看到Zisk在未来几年中取得的成就。”

As part of its strategic pivot, Polygon will be doubling down on its flagship PoS sidechain, now targeting RWA integration. The foundation hinted at an "ambitious roadmap" with milestones to transform the chain into a "gigagas" network capable of processing 100,000 transactions per second and securing trillions in tokenized assets.

作为其战略枢纽的一部分，多边形将使其旗舰POS Sidechain缩减，现在针对RWA集成。该基金会暗示了一个“雄心勃勃的路线图”，其里程碑将链条转变为“ Gigagas”网络，该网络能够处理每秒100,000笔交易，并确保了几万亿美元的标记资产。

The move follows a period of heightened scrutiny from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which has been investigating several crypto projects, including those that tokenize real-world assets.

此举是在美国证券交易委员会（SEC）进行了一段时间的审查之后，该委员会一直在调查多个加密项目，包括那些将现实世界中资产的项目进行调查。

In a post on X, Nailwal said Ethereum's "existential crisis" had pushed Polygon to revisit its core identity — returning to a bolder, more nimble, and more decisive "zero-to-one" mentality.

Nailwal在X上的一篇文章中说，以太坊的“生存危机”促使多边形重新审视其核心身份 - 返回更大胆，更灵活，更具果断性的“零对一”的心态。

His stated goal: "to deliver greater value to POL stakers and bring increased clarity to the broader market." POL, previously called MATIC, is Polygon's native token. The asset can be "staked" with Polygon's PoS network to help secure it in exchange for rewards.

他陈述的目标是：“为Pol Stakers带来更大的价值，并提高更广阔的市场。” POL先前称为Matic，是多边形的本地令牌。资产可以用Polygon的POS网络“固定”，以帮助获得它以换取奖励。

The timing of the revamp, Nailwal suggested, could work in POL's favor.

Nailwal建议，改装的时机可以对POL有利。

"The SEC has dropped its investigations and lawsuits related to MATIC as a security, which should have never existed given the nature of MATIC (and now POL), and we are excited to see several large market makers coming back to the table in recent days to make markets in POL that strengthens the liquidity of POL on exchanges globally."

“ SEC已经放弃了与Matic作为安全性有关的调查和诉讼，鉴于Matic（现在是POL）的性质，这绝对不应该存在，我们很高兴看到最近几天的几个大型做市商回到餐桌上，以使POL的市场在全球范围内增强POL的流动性。”
