Paul Brody, EY Global Blockchain Leader said of the partnership, “Working with Polygon provides EY teams with a powerful set of tools to scale transactions for clients and offers a faster roadmap to integration on the public Ethereum mainnet. We discovered our shared priorities around open systems and networks and the Ethereum ecosystem would make collaboration in this area much easier.”
Sandeep Nailwal, a Co-founder at Polygon stated, “The EY commitment to the public Ethereum ecosystem and to open standards was a big driver in evolving shared approaches. No other organization has made the same scale of commitment to the ecosystem and to open systems or brings the depth of technology that the EY organization has in this space.”
