Polygon’s Sandeep Nailwal slammed the Ethereum community for underappreciating Polygon’s role in the Ethereum ecosystem, prompting a response from Vitalik Buterin.

Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has criticized Ethereum’s leaders for dismissing Polygon’s status as a true Ethereum layer 2 — noting contributions that Polygon has made to Ethereum while receiving little recognition for those efforts.

Nailwal, who also serves as the Polygon Foundation’s CEO, said he is now “questioning his loyalty” to Ethereum — particularly the Ethereum Foundation and the community, which, according to him, hasn’t given Polygon any direct support.

“In fact, the reverse,” Nailwal said in a post to X on Monday, adding that he has given his loyalty to Ethereum even though it has potentially cost him billions of dollars in Polygon’s valuation not to brand itself as a layer 1.
