❗️ Co-founder $POL leaves — team 2.0 has almost completely changed
Against the backdrop of the transition to Polygon 2.0, Mykhailo Byelyich, one of the main architects of the project, is leaving the fund and active participation in its development. This is already the third of four co-founders who have left in the last two years.
🔹 Byelyich has been with the project since 2017 (since the Matic Network)
🔹 Left due to "differences in views"
🔹 Janeet Kanani and Arjun have already left before him
🔹 Only Sandeep Nailwal remains — publicly thanked his colleague
📉 At the same time, with the resignation, $POL (next-generation Polygon token) dropped by ~3.7% to $0.24 — a minimum over the last few months.
💬 This is no longer a coincidence, but a trend. Polygon is losing founders, and management is increasingly shifting to an institutional structure. This may also be preparation for integration into government platforms and large L2 scenarios based on Ethereum.
If you hold $POL — focus not on the price, but on who is now at the helm. It will depend on the new partners and team decisions whether Polygon remains a key player in the multi-chain infrastructure.
