Jaynti Kanani, Sandeep Nailwal and Anurag Arjun co-founded Polygon (formerly Matic), a blockchain scalability platform in 2017. Polygon rests on ethereum, but allows users to build applications on Polygon at a far lower cost than ethereum. Mint spoke with Nailwal—whose crypto fund for covid-19 relief has so far raised over $1 billion—on the company’s origin and the path ahead. Is the Maharashtra Government exploring the Polygon blockchain for maintaining covid test results? For example, the shipping documents of the Egyptian government are posted on the Polygon blockchain only by another vendor.
