Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has assumed the CEO position at the Polygon Foundation, signaling a sharper strategic reset for the network and its token, POL. In a post on his X account, Nailwal said he is moving beyond what he described as a previously passive, misaligned involvement. The Polygon Foundation oversees Polygon Labs and other parts of the ecosystem, and Nailwal is also the largest holder of POL. Under the updated roadmap, Polygon plans to wind down its zkEVM initiative by 2026 and concentrate resources on Polygon PoS and the Agglayer network. The refocus is aimed at faster transaction throughput and use cases such as stablecoin payments and real-world assets. Nailwal also outlined performance milestones tied to the Gigagas testnet, which is already live. The target is 1,000 transactions per second (TPS) by July, 5,000 TPS by September, and 100,000 TPS longer term. He said Agglayer v0.3 is slated for release on June 30, with "fast interoperability" expected in Q3. Airdrops are also being prepared for POL stakers. The leadership change follows multiple co-founder departures. Jaynti Kanani and Anurag Arjun left in 2023 to pursue other projects. Mihailo Bjelic stepped down from the foundation board in May 2025, citing differences in vision. Nailwal suggested that prior board dynamics slowed decision-making, and said he intends to adopt a more startup-style operating approach. He added that Polygon remains well-capitalized and does not need outside funding, which he argues gives the project room to move faster and create additional value for token holders. Market attention has returned to POL as the shift unfolds. At the time of writing, POL traded at $0.2222, down 0.47%. Sentiment has improved after the U.S. SEC dropped its case against MATIC, a development cited as helping restore market-maker confidence and liquidity. Traders are now focused on whether execution matches the new roadmap, with the June 30 Agglayer v0.3 release viewed as a near-term catalyst for POL's next move.
