Ethereum Out, Polygon In: Developer Waves Goodbye!
Looks like it’s the end of the road for Ethereum Foundation-loyal developer Randy Gavlin, who has just announced that he’s joining the ranks of Polygon; a new competitor in the cryptocurrency space.
Gavlin’s been with Ethereum for years and made some awesome contributions, including the oft-applauded “Vulcanize” project. Even so, just like any big corporate change, some changes must happen and now we’ve got our very own Mr. Gavlin trading Ethereum for Polygon.
What’s Polygon, You Ask?
Polygon is a venture that seeks to bridge the gap between Ethereum and new technologies, allowing developers to work cheaper and faster. With the help of this platform, developers can quickly and easily create their own custom blockchain, while also adding decentralized finance features.
The project has been growing in popularity with developers who want to use Ethereum but don’t have access to the required power or computational resources. In a world where Ethereum has become a bit too expensive and limited, this is the perfect opportunity to make use of Polygon’s offerings.
Why Is Randy Making This Choice?
Well, for starters, Gavlin himself said in an interview that he’s always been drawn to ways of doing things faster, cheaper and better. In Polygon, he felt he had found an outlet for his strong opinions on how Ethereum should be adopted and developed.
In addition to that, Randy’s always wanted to break the conventional idea that Ethereum is the only “proper” blockchain project. By joining Polygon, he’s hoping to make Ethereum just one of many blockchains, which could lead to a lot of new and exciting project opportunities.
Benefits For Everyone
At the end of the day, it’s a win-win situation for both Randy and Polygon. To the Ethereum Foundation, Randy’s departure is a loss, but at least he can now join a project where he’ll be free to make his own decisions and lead a project he believes in.
For Polygon and its users, this is also great news. Randy’s experience and technical knowledge will no doubt be a great addition to the team; allowing more developers to collaborate and create projects faster and cheaper than ever.
So, hats off to Randy Gavin for making the move! And to Polygon; the blockchain industry just got a bit more exciting!
