The main dishes to remember:
- Mihailo Bjelic has left the Polygon Foundation but reported that he will remain active in cryptographic space.
- His departure follows two other high -level outings, although Polygon continues to advance new initiatives such as the Aggayer Breakout program.
- Industry figures welcomed Bjelic’s contributions, highlighting its key role in the formation of growth and influence of Polygon.
Mihailo Bjelic, one of the motor forces behind the Ethereum Polygon scaling solution, has officially left its role at the Polygon Foundation.
In an article shared on May 23 on X, Bjelic announced that he would eventually end his daily involvement in the project, but hinted that his crypto trip is far from over.
“After a lot of reflection and reflection, I decided to leave the board of directors of the Polygon Foundation and to refuse my daily involvement with Polygon Labs,” wrote Bjelic.
“As the projects evolve and mature, it is natural that visions evolve and sometimes diverge.”
Bjelic says that he remains attached to the crypto
Although Bjelic did not provide a roadmap for his next steps, he clearly indicated that he remained attached to the wider cryptography industry.
“You will probably see me again,” he said, reporting continuous interest in the development of blockchain beyond Polygon.
His departure attracted responses through cryptographic space. The co-founder Sandeep Nailwal praised the role of Bjelic in the formation of the protocol, saying that it was “a force behind a large part of what makes Polygon what it is today”.
Leon Stern, Polygon marketing manager, added: “Thank you for everything you have done for Polygon and good luck.”
Industry peers have also weighed. The founder of the Aave-Chan initiative, Marc Zella, described The Move as “Big L For Polygon”, while the CEO of Skale Network, Jack O’Holleran, applauded the impact of Bjelic and expressed his optimism as to his future efforts.
The resignation of Bjelic marks the third high -level outing of the company in two years, after the previous departures by Jaynti Kanani and Anurag Arjun of Polygon Labs.
The release of Arjun coincided with the launch of availability, a data availability layer and a consensus which now works as an autonomous entity under its direction.
Despite leadership changes, Polygon remained active in the integration of new use cases.
In January, Jio Platforms – belonging to Mukesh Ambani – designed with Polygon Labs to integrate web3 capabilities in its services.
In March, the RWA Dishishares platform launched Realestate.exchange (REX) on Polygon, aimed at tokensining real estate trade.
Polygon presents the Aggayer escape program
Last month, the team behind the Polygon blockchain announced the breeze-wire program to launch high-value chains that will contribute to the effects of the Aglayer network.
The aggregation layer, or Aggayer, is a transversal settlement layer developed by Polygon Labs and its collaborators, launched at the beginning of 2024, followed by V0.2 at the beginning of 2025.
Polygon Foundation and Polygon Labs support the new program. The objective is to launch “high impact projects that stimulate a significant activity” in Aggayer and Polygon Po, its re -stake in proof of bet for Ethereum.
The co-founder of Post Polygon, Mihailo Bjelic, descends, plans to stay in the crypto space appeared first on Cryptonews.
