Polygon’s PIP-29 Proposal: Creating a Protocol Council
Polygon recently introduced Proposal PIP-29, a significant step towards decentralized governance of its protocols. The proposal aims to establish the Polygon Protocol Council, a body dedicated to overseeing and enhancing the Polygon ecosystem. This move aligns with the broader Polygon 2.0 initiative, which includes the rebranding of the MATIC token to POL.
Composition of the Polygon Protocol Council
The Protocol Council, comprising 13 esteemed members, will play a crucial role in maintaining security and enabling upgrades within the Polygon system. Notable members of the council include:
- Jordi Baylina, Co-Founder of Polygon
- ZachXBT, Renowned Blockchain Security Expert
- Viktor Bunin, Leader of Coinbase Cloud Protocol Operations Team
- Mudit Gupta, Polygon’s Chief Information Security Officer
- And nine other highly accomplished individuals
Impact on MATIC and Market Position
With these significant developments, the Polygon ecosystem is poised for growth. It remains to be seen how MATIC, currently the thirteenth largest crypto project with a market valuation exceeding $5 billion, will sustain this positive momentum in the market.
