What is Polygon DAO?
Polygon DAO is the centerpiece of Polygon’s long-term strategy of progressively decentralizing the protocol and turning over control to the community. At a recent fireside chat, Polygon’s DAO lead Marco Grendel answered a few questions about what that may look like in the near term. We thought they were worth sharing with the broader community.

What do we ❤ about Polygon DAO?
When we talk about DAOs, we are talking about new organizational and participatory forms with multiple use cases. Polygon evaluates many of these applications with great interest, identifying them as fundamental to the evolution of Web3 and beyond.

For example, DAOs hold out the promise of new frameworks organizations and entities can use to build in novel and dynamic ways, combining top-down with and bottom-up elements. Another use case is educational, engaging with the community and educating its members about the new opportunities created by DAOs. The knowledge provided by different educational initiatives centered on some new community initiatives will serve as a foundation for competing for new job opportunities, in turn attracting more skilled talent to Web3.

How is Polygon DAO helping Swollet?
We've teamed up with Polygon DAO to scale our NFT smart contracts development for our NFT certificates upon course completion on the Swollet platform. Support comes in many forms, including grants, a voucher program for services useful to project development, mentoring support offered by various experts. They can also offer projects introduction and exposure to relevant communities. The program is constantly evolving, in order to be able to keep up with changing needs of Web3 builders. You can learn more about Polygon Village here.
