BIG update - As the largest holder of POL and someone who dedicated his life to development and success of @0xPolygon from the very beginning, I have decided to take full control of Polygon Foundation and will be its CEO going forward. Polygon Foundation owns and oversees multiple entities including one of the major contributors, Polygon Labs, which will continue to be led by Marc Boiron @0xMarcB as its CEO, who in my mind is the best executive/leader in the entire crypto industry. I’ve always stayed away from moving into the CEO role because I’ve been focused on building PF as an institutionally governed foundation. But right now, Polygon needs clear direction and focused execution and that means stepping up. With a healthy treasury and several hundred million in cash, we’re in a great position to keep building for the long term, without any distractions or pressure to raise. Today, I’m announcing a series of much-needed changes designed to deliver greater value to POL stakers and bring increased clarity to the broader market. 1. We will depreciate Polygon zkEVM next year. Polygon’s razor focus is going to be Polygon PoS and @Agglayer, nothing else. Polygon PoS will focus on Stablecoin payments and RWAs, while Agglayer will focus on building a trustless Internet of Blockchains. 2. The first milestone of the Polygon POS's Gigagas roadmap is now live in testnet. This first upgrade pushes network capacity beyond 1,000 transactions per second early July and it's only the beginning. We already have the plan to move to zero reorgs and <1 second finality with >5000 TPS achieved in a devnet enviornment. This will put Polygon PoS amongst the most performant blockchains by Sept-Oct timeframe. And beyond that, we have a clear path to scale to 100k+ TPS over next few years. These upgrades massively increase the economic viability of Polygon protocol and thereby the value for POL stakers. 3. Agglayer v0.3 has been in the making and I am announcing week of June 30th as the rollout date. This version of Agglayer is feature complete except fast interop which we anticipate to be completed by end of Q3. We are back to massive shipping mode. 4. The Agglayer Breakout program will continue to spin off projects resulting in increased focus for Polygon PoS and Agglayer and massive airdrops to POL stakers. We are in the business of building blockchain networks and ZK is an important tool to bring that internet level scalability to blockchains. We have contributed a lot to ZK and will continue to do so in a more neutral way by spinning out more of ZK research efforts. Next up is Polygon ZisK led by Jordi Baylina @jbaylina. More to come. 5. Now that 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), 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. 6. The Foundation will also engage in educational campaigns to ensure everyone is aware of the upgrade of MATIC to POL. 7. Bringing the Polygon brand front and center into what was previously the neutral Agglayer brand. It’s time to align the ecosystem more clearly and boldly under the Polygon identity. Also, going forward, major announcements from Polygon often will come from my twitter account, so follow me to be up to date and turn on your notifications. So why am I doing this? During 2021-22, we made a real effort to institutionalise the project by onboarding some amazing people as co-founders and board members and laying the foundation for scaling Polygon from the 10-100 stage of a venture. But little did I know, Ethereum itself was going to go into an existential crisis that would pull Polygon and the entire Ethereum ecosystem right back to the 1-to-10 stage … or by some measures, even 0-to-1. And the 0-to-1 stage is a different beast. It needs speed, courage to make bold bets, and the ability to handle failure. Also, the crypto industry has changed from being research centric to user centric and Polygon needs to change accordingly. Institutional setups and board structures are great for stability, but they tend to produce average-case decisions — not the sharp, aggressive moves needed to deliver exponential outcomes. Polygon is now back as a zero to one startup setup. With the support of an incredible team at Polygon Labs, and strong leadership including Marc @0xMarcB, Mudit Gupta @Mudit__Gupta (CTO), Ryan (COO) @chasingpar and many others we are going to BRING IT. Let’s play!

technologyreview.com/2025/05/20/111… 🌍Decentralizing AI’s Energy Future How we can power the AI revolution without burning the planet 🔌🤖 1/ The Problem: MIT Tech Review reveals AI could consume 22% of US household electricity by 2028 (link). Centralized data centers rely on fossil fuels (48% higher emissions than grid avg). We need alternatives. 2/ Decentralized Fix #1: 🌐 Distributed Computing Networks** → Leverage idle devices (home PCs, smartphones) via blockchain-secured networks (e.g., @grass @Gradient_HQ ). → Impact: Reduces need for mega-data centers. Example: A Stanford project cut training energy by 60% using volunteer devices. 3/ Decentralized Fix #2: ⚡ Renewable Energy Microgrids + Crypto Incentives** → Pair AI workloads with local solar/wind microgrids. Tokenize energy credits (e.g., @PowerPod_People @PowerLedger_io). → Impact: Texas miners already use 89% renewable energy during surplus hours. Scale this globally! 4/ Decentralized Fix #3: ♻️ Waste Heat Recycling DAOs** → Redirect excess heat from GPUs to warm homes/greenhouses (Sweden does this!). Fund via decentralized autonomous orgs (DAOs). → Example: @qarnot computing heats buildings while training AI models. 5/ The Caveat: Decentralization needs standards: ✅ Energy-efficient algorithms (e.g., "tiny ML") ✅ Proof-of-Green consensus (not PoW!) ✅ Transparent emissions tracking (like @Filecoin’s Green Claims) 6/ Call to Action: → Developers: Build federated learning tools (see @flower_ai). → Policymakers: Subsidize green edge computing. → Users: Demand "clean AI" from OpenAI/Google. We can’t let Big Tech monopolize AI’s future—or its energy. Decentralization = resilience + sustainability. Let’s code the change. 💻🌱 (Sources: MIT Tech Review, Stanford HAI, Nature Energy) #GreenAI #DecentralizeAI #CleanTech #EnergyTransition #ClimateTech @OpenAI @Google @a16z @wef

Tether outpaces Germany in U.S. Treasury holdings, the total amount of stable coins is overpassed 1.1% of all US Dollar supply, which is critical moment of crypto evolution. msn.com/en-us/money/ma…

HISTORIC MOMENT!

🇺🇸 needs more strategic vision, discipline & pragmatism than 🇨🇳 to fix its own issues. Scattershot policies only create global headwinds & solve nothing. Strong US-China collaboration could launch humanity into the AI productivity era. Beijing could learn openness from DC; DC needs to learn reform from Beijing. #Geopolitics #AIRevolution #manufacturedinamerica Read “The Ballad of the Country Bumpkins“ by Andy@PowerPod on Medium: @duting/the-ballad-of-the-country-bumpkins-4b687f041d77" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@duting/the-ba…

I think it's a great proposal here, i think it will help @PowerPod_People at four main aspects: Operational Efficiency: Without precise timing, chargers might misreport usage, leading to inefficiencies or conflicts (e.g., two drivers thinking a charger is available). User Trust: Accurate timestamps build confidence in the system—drivers and charger owners know they’re charged or paid fairly based on exact usage. Grid Integration: As EV adoption grows, Powerpod chargers may interact with smart grids for load balancing. UMT ensures these interactions happen at the right micro-moments, avoiding overloads. Future-Proofing: Powerpod aims to lower barriers to EV adoption with innovative hardware and a Web3 model. UMT prepares it for advanced use cases, like autonomous EVs finding and paying for chargers without human input. will consider to integrate it to our next version.

GM! Just forked my original thread about Universal Machine Time (UMT) by @peaq. Might be the first-ever online thread fork for a peaq innovation. Thoughts, @MaxThake? So let's connect UMT to @PowerPod_People. @adubupt curious about your take here 🧵👇

How about a Saturday evening thread? One to @peaq your DePIN interest... Most machines today are running on “close enough” timing. That works — until it doesn’t. @peaq's new concept — Universal Machine Time (UMT) — reframes the issue: It’s not about clocks. It’s about coordination. Link to article in next post. 🧵👇
