Welcome to Chain Reaction

A show that unpacks and dives deep into the latest trends, drama and news with some of the biggest names in crypto breaking things down block by block for the crypto curious. 

For this week’s episode, Jacquelyn talked with Ryan Wyatt, president of Polygon Labs, one of the biggest market shakers and layer-2 blockchains in the crypto space that’s building on top of the Ethereum ecosystem. The past year has been huge for Polygon as it partnered with big-brand names like Starbucks, Disney and Mastercard to launch loyalty rewards and accelerator programs. Now, Polygon is looking to 2023, new opportunities and Wyatt shares what’s in store for it and how the space still has room to grow.

We also discussed: 

  • Polygon’s big themes and product vision for 2023 
  • Mass adoption of crypto and what it takes to get there
  • Wyatt’s outlook for the gaming and NFT market
  • What real world use-cases may arise in the future
