Benzinga - Jaynti Kanani, Polygon's (CRYPTO: MATIC) co-founder, has revealed his decision to take a step back from his active role in the project, marking his first break in six years.
According to a tweet on Oct. 4, Kanani intends to embark on "new adventures" and will continue to support Polygon, albeit "from the sidelines."
The platform, initially named Matic network when established in 2017 by Kanani and other software engineers like Sandeep Nailwal, Anurag Arjun, and Mihailo Bjelic, underwent a rebranding to become Polygon.
Nailwal reacted to Kanani's decision, saying, "What a ride we’ve had together brother. But its just the start for Polygon."
Man this makes me emotional. What a ride we've had together brother. But its just the start for Polygon, i wish we could've done more for longer together in this crazy journey that is Polygon. But hey, you got to do what you got to do.Lets keep pushing Polygon ahead together,…
