Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron alleges that racial prejudice against co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has hindered the broader adoption of the Polygon network. Boiron argues that if Nailwal were not Indian, Polygon would have received greater recognition in the web3 community. He points to discriminatory remarks and racial slurs as evidence of bias. Some members of the web3 community dispute Boiron's claims and attribute Polygon's challenges to competition from other Ethereum layer-2 networks or the network's strategies. Despite the allegations, Polygon remains a significant player in the industry. Nailwal acknowledges the challenges but urges developers to remain focused and build transformative solutions to challenge biases. The conversation about discrimination against Indian developers extends beyond Polygon, with others highlighting similar issues.
