Polygon Faces ‘Big L’ as Co-Founder Mihailo Bjelic Quits – The Saga Continues! 🚨

by

In the grand theatre of crypto, where heroes rise and fall like the morning sun, Mihailo Bjelic, the illustrious co-founder of Polygon—yes, that Ethereum sidekick—decided to take his leave. Perhaps he found the chaos too charming, or maybe the blockchain wasn’t exciting enough for his refined palate. Anyway, he’s stepping down, but rest assured, he promises to stay “active” somewhere in this circus of digital gold fever. 🧐🎭

Bjelic Bows Out: The Daily Grind Vanishes

“After much pondering and soul-searching,” he tweeted on May 23rd, “I shall leave the throne of the Polygon Foundation and cease my daily antics at Polygon Labs.” Truly poetic, like a nobleman retiring from court to tend his begonias. But fear not! He vows to cheer from the sidelines, a true crypto superhero, ever-vigilant and ever-supportive—at least in words. 🦸‍♂️✨

Meanwhile, Sandeep Nailwal, the other half of this blockchain bromance, gushed that Bjelic’s contributions were “a force behind what makes Polygon what it is today.” Probably the only thing holding the crypto empire together—until it collapsed, that is. 😂

Bjelic, ever the passionate crypto aficionado, declared he remains “as passionate as ever,” which is code for “I still love wasting my life in digital bunny hops.” Expect to bump into him at some blockchain café, probably looking for a new crypto hustle. “You will likely still see me around,” he said, like a ghost haunting the charts. 👻📈

Not everyone is celebrating, however. Marc Zella, the founder of the mysterious Aave-chan Initiative, called this legendary exit a “Big L for Polygon”—meaning, well, a big loss. Meanwhile, Leon Stern, the company’s marketing man, expressed that they’ll miss Bjelic. Because who will they blame now for their failures? Thanks for everything, Mihailo! The CEO of Skale Network, Jack O’Holleran, told him to “be very proud” of his accomplishments—probably because the next chapter involves something even more baffling.

Adding to the drama, two of Polygon’s founding fathers, Jaynti Kanani and Anurag Arjun, also decided to vanish into the crypto mist. Arjun, in particular, took the reins of a spun-off Web3 baby called Avail—because why not keep the chaos going? Bjelic remains tight-lipped about his future plans, probably plotting some grand exit of his own.

Oh, and the year’s major announcements? Just some small details: real estate tokens are now a thing on Polygon, and Mukesh Ambani’s Jio teamed up to bring more Web3 nonsense to Indian mobile users. Because who needs utility when you have blockchain, right? 🏢📲
