Hello there

I’ve always thought that the smartest tech businesses are the ones that play a foundational and enabling role in a sector. Be that platform which everything else has to be built on, and you become indispensable, right? Just think about platforms like Amazon Web Services or even Apple and all the apps and businesses that rely on them.

But of course, that’s easier said than done. In today’s premium article, we dive into the story of Polygon and see if it has what it takes to be at the center of the next wave of foundational tech: Web3.
