Polygon is a layer-2 technology built on top of Ethereum, which aims to make it easier to build and scale decentralized applications or dApps built on the chain.

Buterin has been an active participant in funding Nailwal’s cryptocurrency-based coronavirus relief fund CryptoRelief, pumping in another $10 million last month.

I'm really happy @sandeepnailwal and @Cryptorelief_ share this view and have agreed that supporting this new initiative also serves to further the core mission of CRI. @Cryptorelief_ has put in 90M USDC from the original $SHIB donation, and I'm adding another 10M of my own funds.
