Polygon CEO Sandeep Nailwal has publicly expressed doubts about his loyalty to Ethereum, following a response to an open letter from Ethereum core developer Péter Szilágyi. Nailwal criticized the lack of support from the Ethereum Foundation and core team, stating that Polygon has been marginalized despite its contributions. He noted that if Polygon were to declare itself a Layer 1 chain, its valuation could increase by 2-5 times. However, the Ethereum community neither recognizes Polygon as a Layer 2 solution nor includes it in the 'Ethereum Beta' narrative. Despite these challenges, Nailwal remains committed to revitalizing the Layer 2 narrative, emphasizing that Ethereum is still the only long-term viable democratic system.
