Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon MATIC -2.09% Technology, said that the successful merger of Ethereum ETH 0.03% is a huge step for the community and could be a path to the mainstream.
This is the first major step in a series of steps that could bring a billion users to Web3, Nailwal said. In Web3’s journey, it was one of the biggest inflection points to make Ethereum more mainstream.
The merger opens the way for future upgrades that will further ensure Layer 2’s scalability, Nailwail said.
He added that the merger also means that Ethereum is now more environmentally friendly, a major area of focus for companies like Starbucks, Disney and Instagram, which have entered Web3 through NFTs.
