Ryan Wyatt, who has served as president of Polygon Labs for over a year, has announced his decision to step down from his current role and transition into an advisory position within the company.
Wyatt revealed his plans to leave Polygon by the end of July but expressed his intention to remain involved in the crypto space by continuing to provide guidance and advice to the firm.
Taking on the mantle of the new CEO will be Marc Boiron, Polygon’s chief legal officer and former chief legal officer of dYdX.

Meanwhile, Rebecca Rettig, currently serving as Polygon’s chief policy officer, will assume the role of chief legal officer following Boiron’s departure.
Rettig’s expertise in legal matters and her recent appointment by Caroline Pham of the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to the CFTC’s Global Markets Advisory Committee’s Subcommittee on Global Market Structure, Technical Issues, and Digital Asset Markets further bolsters her qualifications for the position.
This change in leadership comes at a pivotal time for Polygon, as the platform has been diligently working on a series of upgrades known as “Polygon 2.0” with the aim of establishing the “Value Layer” of the internet.
One of the key milestones in this endeavor is the implementation of “decentralized governance,” which Polygon plans to achieve by July 17.
These upgrades and advancements will contribute to Polygon’s growth and solidify its position in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.
Polygon has already achieved significant milestones, as demonstrated by its ascent to become the second-largest blockchain gaming network in terms of the number of unique active wallets, surpassing Hive.
The growing popularity of the platform and its underlying cryptocurrency, Polygon (MATIC), is a testament to its success.
As of the time of this article’s publication, the price of Polygon (MATIC) stood at $0.6804, signifying its market value.
With the upcoming changes in leadership and the continued pursuit of Polygon 2.0, the future of Polygon Labs looks promising, poised to make further advancements in the realm of decentralized finance and beyond.
