How Polygon Will Help Bring Mass Adoption to Ethereum
This episode highlights how Polygon is scaling Ethereum and supporting the next generation of NFTs, DeFi protocols, and gaming platforms through accessible infrastructure and targeted investments. With high gas fees on Ethereum still limiting adoption, Polygon offers a low-cost, EVM-compatible solution that enables creators to build and launch without friction. Its $100M Polygon Studios Fund backs high-quality Web3 projects, while also helping Web2 companies transition into decentralized ecosystems through tech, business, and marketing support.
The conversation also explores how NFTs are evolving from static digital assets into financial instruments and metaverse primitives. Polygon is powering new models like fractional NFT ownership, DeFi protocols built around NFTs, and virtual land marketplaces—making Web3 more dynamic and inclusive. With developer tools, GitHub documentation, and a supportive ecosystem, Polygon lowers the barrier to entry for builders at all levels. As the space advances, Polygon positions itself as the go-to platform for those looking to innovate at scale.
In this podcast episode, we talk with Sachi Kamiya, the Lead of Investments at Polygon. Hosted by our student Ishika from Rutgers University, we discuss a vast array of topics from Ethereum scalability to the future of NFT's, and how Sachi transitioned from a career in traditional finance to the crypto industry.
What is Polygon?
Polygon is the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development. Its core component is Polygon SDK, a modular, flexible framework that supports building multiple types of applications.
Using Polygon, one can create Optimistic Rollup chains, ZK Rollup chains, stand-alone chains, or any other kind of infra required by the developer.
Polygon effectively transforms Ethereum into a full-fledged multi-chain system (aka Internet of Blockchains). This multi-chain system is akin to other ones such as Polkadot, Cosmos, Avalanche, etc. with the advantages of Ethereum’s security, vibrant ecosystem, and openness.
