Among Polygon Technology’s recent investments are a lead role in the $2.8m seed round for PolyTrade, a blockchain-based trade finance platform, and involvement in the $3m seed round for metaverse technology developer Anima. The unit also joined the $4m pre-seed round for collaborative creativity community Stems Labs and the $40m series A raise for cryptocurrency platform MPCH Labs.

Singh, who is based in Dubai, joined Polygon Labs – initially known as Matic Network when it was set up in 2017 – as its marketing lead four years ago. Matic Network rebranded as Polygon in February 2021 “to better reflect its goal of bringing multiple Ethereum-compatible scaling solutions to web3”. Polygon was designed to be “the first well-structured, easy- to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development”. The company brought its various operations under the single Polygon Labs rebrand at the start of 2023
