Polygon Boss 🐍 Questions Loyalty to Ethereum 💰 – Will Solana Be His New BFF? 😏

by

Oh, what a delightful farce! Sandeep Nailwal, that most ingenious of Polygon architects, has delivered a soliloquy of disdain toward Ethereum’s esteemed leaders, who, with the grace of a sleepwalking elephant, have dismissed Polygon’s status as a “true” layer 2. How quaint! One might think Polygon’s contributions to Ethereum warranted a standing ovation, not a yawn and a side-eye. 🤷♂️

“I am but a loyal hound to a fickle master,” Nailwal mused on X, “even though my devotion has cost me billions-because nothing says ‘gratitude’ like watching your side project lose value while you nobly refrain from rebranding it as a layer 1. How very Victorian of me.” 😒

The Ethereum community, he declared, has been “a shit show” for ages-a sentiment as true as the fact that Vitalik Buterin will never admit he’s wrong (publicly, at least). “They need a mirror, a good long stare into it, and perhaps a therapist,” Nailwal quipped, before Vitalik himself entered the fray like a knight in crypto-armor.

Vitalik, ever the gentleman, praised Polygon’s “magnificent” Polymarket platform and zk-EVM wizardry. But then, like a Shakespearean villain, he reminded Nailwal that Polygon lacks a proof system-“oh, just a tiny detail to secure your layer 2 dreams!”-before offering a ZK tech stack solution for $0.0001 per transaction. How generous! 💸

Meanwhile, the crypto theater continues. Former EF researchers and developers have exited with dramatic flair, and Solana’s Raj Gokal and Austin Federa have whispered sweet nothings about a Polygon-Solana alliance. “Why be Ethereum’s stepchild when you can be Solana’s golden retriever?” they presumably hissed. 🐶

Nailwal, silent as a ghost, awaits the next act. But one thing is clear: in this grand play of blockchains, loyalty is as fleeting as Vitalik’s patience for off-chain governance debates. 🎭
