Polygon Co-Founder Apologizes: Relevant Marketing Content Did Not Insinuate Abstract’s Shutdown
2026.10.07 17:31:20
Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has responded to controversial marketing content that sparked debate: Polygon’s official X (Twitter) account posted a “Polygon is not dead” announcement, which was widely interpreted as a jab at the shutdown of Abstract. He stated the content’s actual effect differed from expectations, leading to entirely misaligned readings. Nailwal added that he was also deeply shocked when he first saw the post that morning in Singapore. Sandeep clarified that the Polygon marketing team intended the line as self-deprecating—for a long time, people have been claiming “Polygon is dead”, while the network’s fundamentals have actually remained strong and improving. The team had no intention of referencing Abstract’s shutdown, he emphasized. “I have immense respect for Abstract founder Luca Netz and his team,” Nailwal said. “We would never do that, as Polygon itself has experienced the pain of terminating its own zkEVM.” He also expressed support for Luca and the Pengu team, calling Luca one of the industry’s top entrepreneurs and noting he will continue to back his team.
