In this week’s Defiant Podcast, we speak with Hamzah Khan, Head of Defi at Polygon. Polygon is one of the biggest players in DeFi, with TVL and the blockchain space in general earning him $1.5 billion. Hamzah begins with a brief overview of the Polygon ecosystem.
Despite the bear market, Polygon has forged high-profile NFT partnerships with companies like Instagram and Reddit. That network was also used by JP Morgan’s Onyx division to conduct its first interbank on-chain forex swap, and was selected by Robinhood to debut his Web3 wallet. Dig into these details of his partnership with Hamzah.
Unlike its sidechain counterparts, Polygon zkEVM is built directly on Ethereum and acts as Layer 2. Hamzah explains the key differences between the two scaling solutions and analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each.
And finally, Hamzah shares his insights on Polygon’s DeFi ecosystem. Polygon is where most of the activity takes place and the innovations he’s excited about.
