The Protocol: Polygon, Once a Scaling Leader, Eyes a Revamp
Welcome to The Protocol, CoinDesk's weekly wrap-up of the most important stories in cryptocurrency tech development. We're Margaux Nijkerk and Sam Kessler, CoinDesk's Tech & Protocols team. In this issue: Sandeep Nailwal Takes Control of Polygon Foundation, Charts New Course, Retires ZkEVM Ethereum Foundation Unveils New Treasury Policy With 15% Opex Cap Bitcoin Core 30 to Increase OP_RETURN Data Limit After Developer Debate Concludes Plume Launches Genesis Mainnet to Bring Real-World Assets to DeFi Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the ` option SANDEEP NAILWAL TAKES CONTROL OF POLYGON FOUNDATION, RETIRES ZKEVM: Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal has officially assumed the role of CEO of the Polygon Foundation, marking a pivot in the organization's leadership makeup and a sweeping overhaul of the network's longterm roadmap. Nailwal, who launched the project in 2017 when it was still called Matic Network, will consolidate control and reorient the team toward AggLayer — Polygon's new cross-chain liquidity protocol that promises seamless interoperability across networks. The foundation will also retire zkEVM, Polygon's rollup network. "This renewed control marks the beginning of a strategic push for Polygon to reclaim its position at the forefront of Web3," the team wrote in a press release shared with CoinDesk — Marguax Nijkerk Read more. ETHEREUM FOUNDATION'S NEW TREASURY POLICY: The Ethereum Foundation published an updated treasury policy, outlining a series of new plans around token sales, fiat purchases and transparency practices designed to ensure the organization's "long-term agency, sustainability, and legitimacy." The EF, a Swiss non-profit, plays a central role in the Ethereum blockchain ecosystem. In addition to employing researchers, builders and community liaisons, the foundation was granted a large trove of ether (ETH) tokens at Ethereum's genesis which it uses to fund its operations and support other projects in the ecosystem. In a blog post, the foundation stated it plans to annually designate 15% of its treasury to operational expenses ("opex"), with a 2.5-year buffer kept at all times in its reserves. "We intend to reduce annual opex roughly linearly over the next five years, ending at a long-term 5% baseline," the foundation wrote. "This policy reflects our conviction that 2025-26 are likely to be pivotal for Ethereum, warranting enhanced focus on critical deliverables.' — Margaux Nijkerk Read more. BITCOIN CORE 30 TO INCREASE OP_RETURN DATA LIMIT: The developers of Bitcoin Core, the primary open-source software for connecting the blockchain behind the world's largest cryptocurrency, said October's version 30 release will increase the default limit for OP_RETURN data transactions from the current 80 bytes to nearly 4MB, a limit imposed by Bitcoin's block size. The proposal for the change, which was confirmed in an update on GitHub, had sparked debate within the Bitcoin community. Critics argued that removing the limit could encourage increased embedding of arbitrary data, potentially leading to network spam and a shift from bitcoin's primary function as a financial tool. — Sam Reynolds Read more. PLUME MAINNET GOES LIVES: Plume, a blockchain network focused on real-world assets, announced the launch of its hotly anticipated Genesis launch, according to a statement shared by the Plume team, marks the "next generation" of asset-backed DeFi — tokenizing traditional financial instruments, or real-world assets (RWA), so they can interact with blockchain-based financial tools. RWAs have taken over the world of blockchain, as they are viewed as a market that could be worth trillions of dollars with traditional financial institutions steadily dipping into crypto. — Margaux Nijkerk Read more. Unknown block type "divider", specify a component for it in the ` option Safe, the popular multiparty crypto wallet previously called Gnosis Safe, has launched a new development unit, Safe Labs, in a move aimed at consolidating its operations and sharpening its product roadmap after it was targeted in February's $1.4 billion ByBit hack — the largest crypto heist to date.

Morpho, a permissionless cryptocurrency lending protocol, unveiled an update that seeks to further align decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional lending by bringing more in the way of bespoke, predictable loan terms. Morpho V2 delivers market-driven fixed-rate, fixed-term loans with customizable terms, features previously unseen in DeFi, which are required to meet the demands of institutions and enterprises looking to build or migrate financial products on-chain, Morpho said in a press release on Thursday.— Ian Allison Read more. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is working on policy to exempt decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms from regulatory barriers, said Chairman Paul Atkins. Software developers building DeFi tools have no business being blamed for how they're used, Atkins and other SEC Republicans contended at the final of five crypto roundtables that have been held at the agency since the leadership turnover under President Donald chairman told a roundtable of DeFi experts that he's directed the SEC staff to look into changes to agency rules "to provide needed accommodation for issuers and intermediaries to seek to administer on-chain financial systems." Atkins called that potential exemptive relief "an innovation exemption" that would let entities under SEC jurisdiction bring on-chain products and services to market "expeditiously." — Jesse Hamilton Read more. The international unit of Alipay owner Ant Group plans to seek stablecoin licenses in Hong Kong and Singapore, Bloomberg reported on Thursday. Ant International will apply for a stablecoin issuer's license once the regulatory regime comes into effect in August, according to the report, citing people familiar with the matter.

Repello AI Raises USD 1.2 Million Seed Round, Launches GenAI Security Platforms
"We're at an inflection point where AI adoption is accelerating faster than security solutions can keep pace," says Aryaman Behera, Co-founder and CEO of Repello AI You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Repello AI, a San Francisco and Bengaluru-based startup focused on AI security, has raised USD 1.2 million in seed funding to advance its mission of safeguarding generative AI (GenAI) systems. Founded in 2024 by IIT Roorkee alumni Aryaman Behera and Naman Mishra, the company is addressing a rising concern among enterprises: the growing vulnerability of GenAI applications to complex and evolving cyber threats. The seed round saw participation from Venture Highway (acquired by General Catalyst), pi Ventures, Entrepreneur First, and angel investors including Charles Songhurst (Board Member, Meta), Vivek Raghavan (CEO, and Satya Vyas (CEO, Project Hero). With the fresh capital, Repello AI plans to accelerate product development, expand its red teaming and threat intelligence capabilities, and scale go-to-market operations. As part of its launch, Repello AI introduced two security platforms—ARTEMIS and Repello Guard—designed to help enterprises continuously identify and mitigate AI-specific risks. ARTEMIS (Automated Red Teaming Engine for Mapping, Identification and Scanning) performs millions of adversarial tests across modalities like text, image, and audio to proactively uncover vulnerabilities in GenAI systems and provide actionable fixes. Repello Guard complements this by offering runtime protection through threat monitoring and guardrails, detecting unsafe outputs, system prompt leaks, and brand-damaging content in real time. "We're at an inflection point where AI adoption is accelerating faster than security solutions can keep pace," said Aryaman Behera, Co-founder and CEO of Repello AI. "Enterprises are deploying generative AI across every function, but they're doing it with yesterday's security playbook. The best defense is a strong offense, and we're ensuring our customers can proactively identify and neutralise emerging AI security threats before they become enterprise risks. The market needs a new approach—one that's as sophisticated and scalable as the AI systems it's protecting. That's exactly what we're building." The company's approach combines offensive security methods with automation to address risks like prompt injection attacks, compliance failures, and unsafe AI behaviors—challenges that traditional cybersecurity tools often miss. Co-founder and CTO Naman Mishra added, "As GenAI transforms industries, its security architecture cannot be an afterthought. From day one, our goal has been to stay ahead of emerging threats. With our products, we're reimagining AI security from the ground up, merging proactive adversarial testing with automated scale to preempt threats before they are exploited." Supporting this view, Roopan Aulakh, Managing Director at pi Ventures, said, "Generative AI introduces a fundamentally new threat landscape. One that traditional cybersecurity solutions weren't built for. Accurately detecting and mitigating threats in the dynamic GenAI attack surface is a complex challenge. Having built in security and AI since their college days, Aryaman and Naman have built a GenAI-native security solution to go beyond perimeter defense, identify unknown threats and optimise for high precision and recall." Currently used by companies like Groww and PhysicsWallah.
