In an interview with crypto.news, Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron discusses the recent surge in memecoin popularity and its impact on the cryptocurrency industry. He argues that while memecoins have contributed to a wave of new projects and increased crypto awareness, their short-term success masks a need for better discovery mechanisms and substance-focused innovation. Boiron emphasizes the importance of decentralizing discovery tools to sift through the noise and highlight genuinely valuable projects with real utility. Polygon, focused on payments and stablecoins, is not trying to participate in the memecoin economy but rather seeks to build real infrastructure that serves a broader range of users. The interview covers topics like the future of blockchain innovation, community engagement strategies for project promotion, and how to attract investment toward actual use-case development. Boiron also emphasizes the role of discovery tools and education as a means to shift user focus away from speculative gains and towards more substantive innovations.
