Polygon Summit Teases Major Announcement Coming December 9th

Polygon Summit Major Announcement Teased

In preparation for their summit on December 9th (dubbed “zk day”), Polygon took to Twitter to announce that Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin will be in attendance.

It’s unclear what role Buterin will play at the event. According to the schedule, he isn’t listed on any of the panels.

In the same thread, the layer-2 also dropped a major tease. Apparently, a “major announcement” is expected around 11:20 EST, a mere 20 minutes after the first panel begins.

What that announcement is is anyone’s guess. But apparently, it’s a pretty big secret based on the Polygon team’s emoji choice.

Many “hyped” announcements in crypto tend to disappoint. But not all of them. If you’ll recall, before the Bitcoin Miami Conference, Strike founder Jack Mallers teased a big announcement, too. That turned out to be El Salvador making Bitcoin legal tender.

Speculation abounds of course. Though, this one anonymous Twitter user seems to think they know what it is.

Uniswap Voting On Polygon

Uniswap integrating Polygon wouldn’t be as big as Bitcoin becoming legal tender. But, it sure would qualify as a “major” announcement.

Uniswap is significantly hindered by the rent-seekers on Ethereum’s network. The cost of doing a single transaction on Uniswap is exorbitant and precludes the average investor from participating in decentralized finance. Which essentially defeats the purpose of Web3’s promise of financial inclusivity.

Of course, there are hoards of “decentralized” DEXs out there  — many of which readers would probably quibble over how decentralized they are  — but all of them are dwarfed by Uniswap TVL-wise. Even with virtually zero fees in comparison to the Ethereum-based DEX.

Coupled with Uniswap’s integration with Coinbase wallet and proven functionality, the DEX has a massive advantage with n00bz entering the degen space, unlike some other rival protocols.

Of course, this is all speculation. Like Polygon intimated through their choice of emoji, it sounds like a well-kept secret. Considering that Uniswap’s token holders are already publicly voting on integrating the Polygon Network, might preclude this from being the major announcement. It’s also probably a fool’s errand to speculate on a deeper meaning behind an emoji.
