Well I found this to be a little bizarre, yet quite hopeful about how use cases keep increasing for blockchain technology. Citizens in a district in India called Firozabad have been finding it hard to register certain complaints, especially against its’ own police force. Mainly because corruption is running rampant and those complaints either get manipulated or flat out gets “lost”. Enter in Polygon. Citizens can now post their complaints onto Polygon’s blockchain, preventing anyone from removing or changing the complaints, and is considered cost effective due to its transaction rollup technology. On Oct. 12, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal announced that the protocol is now being used by Firozabad police to fight against local police corruption and crime, something that Nailwal has held dear to his heart, after hearing stories about corruption as he was growing up, many of whom were rape victims.

Being of Indian descent, I couldn’t help but initially laugh at how badly a police department is experiencing corruption that they have to use blockchain tech just to prevent their own officers from withholding justice. However, after reading Nailwal’s message, I started imagining how infuriating it would trying to register a crime such as rape, and some asshole officer’s male-chauvinistic attitude is preventing justice from occurring. Hats off to the police department for trying to fix this problem head-on. Corruption is in all parts of the world and the use case for blockchain technology to prevent corruption shows what the thesis for Web3 is all about.
