Polygon Labs<\/a> CEO Marc Boiron has attributed the network's struggles with broader adoption in the space to racial prejudice against its co-founder, Sandeep Nailwal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a Nov. 25 post on X, Boiron suggested that Nailwal's Indian heritage has led to biases that hinder Polygon's recognition despite its substantial usage across the blockchain industry.<\/p>\n

He wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“If Sandeep wasn\u2019t Indian, then web3 would have embraced Polygon massively instead of treating it as a second class citizen even when Polygon PoS was more used than all blockchains combined.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When a user in the crypto community argued that Indians had achieved prominent roles in major tech firms globally, Boiron responded by suggesting geography plays a role. He noted<\/a> that Indians in Western countries like EigenLayer's Sreeram Kannan face fewer biases compared to those working from India.<\/p>\n

He also pointed to discriminatory remarks, including racial slurs, as evidence of the underlying issue. Boiron said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“All you need to see is all the ‘brown' comments to know there\u2019s an issue.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Meanwhile, the broader Web3 community remains divided on this issue. Some users attribute Polygon's challenges to competition from newer Ethereum<\/a> layer-2 networks or the network's strategies rather than bias.<\/p>\n

Despite Boiron's claims, Polygon remains a prominent player<\/a> in the industry, and its POL token<\/a> is the 30th largest digital asset by market cap. However, the blockchain's popularity has waned compared to newer layer-2 networks like the Coinbase<\/a>-backed Base network.<\/p>\n

Nailwal unperturbed<\/h2>\n

Nailwal acknowledged the challenges but urged developers to remain focused. While admitting that such prejudice initially affected him, he now sees it as unintentional.<\/p>\n

He stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I used to be pained with this but now I understand nobody is doing it deliberately or in a systematic way, so don\u2019t take it personally.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nailwal further emphasized that dwelling on discrimination is counterproductive and advised developers to channel their energy into building transformative solutions, as consistent success can ultimately challenge biases.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the conversation about discrimination against Indian developers extends beyond Polygon. Nader Dabit of EigenLayer highlighted<\/a> similar issues, noting that some in the crypto community harbor biases against Indian developers, often out of insecurity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
