<p>While no longer involved in core technical development, Kanani emphasized that he remains bullish on Polygon’s future and intends to continue contributing as a community member.</p>
<p>Fellow co-founder Sandeep Nailwal <a href="https://twitter.com/sandeepnailwal/status/1709577134933410008" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reacted</a> emotionally, reflecting on the journey they shared building Polygon from the ground up. He expressed confidence that Kanani will keep supporting the project’s progress, whether inside or outside of Polygon Labs.</p>
<p>Kanani spearheaded research into Ethereum scaling even before Polygon’s mainnet launched in 2020. Along with Nailwal, he was instrumental in crafting the protocol design and driving initial adoption.</p>
<p>His transition comes as Polygon prepares to release a significant network upgrade dubbed Polygon Zero this year, which aims to enhance security and interoperability.</p>
<p>While Kanani’s departure concludes an era, he departs with Polygon firmly established as one of the most widely-used layer-2 platforms. His legacy seems assured as Polygon charts the future without one of its founding architects.</p>
