zkEVM: A Layer 2 Solution to Ethereum Scaling Problem
The concept of Virtual Machines (VMs) can now be called “age-old”; the first time it came into existence was when IBM, in 1972, introduced hardware-assisted virtualization. Now is the era of blockchain or distributed ledger technology, and the VM concept has emulated into what we hear now and then: Ethereum Virtual Machine (better known as EVM). For context, an EVM is a virtual CPU that runs the smart contracts written in Solidity. When a smart contract is executed, the code gets compiled int...

Progress from the Polygon DAO
The Polygon DAO has been heads down, shipping programs and resources and growing the Polygon ecosystem at lightning speeds. Despite the bear market volatility, Polygon DAO remained focused on building communities and projects on the Polygon network. We are excited to share an update on the DAO's initiatives and community developments.

How Polygon is Bridging the Gap Between Blockchains and Real-World Applications
It’s not unreasonable to say that blockchains need real-world use cases to gain mass adoption. Web3 has been slow to gain traction outside of the crypto community. While there are many reasons for this, the primary one is that they don’t see any use case for Web3 in their daily lives.Why real-world use cases are important for blockchainsReal-world use cases are important to keep blockchains economically and socially sustainable. Having a flow of value coming from real-world sources allows the...

The first edition of WAGMI JobDrops, powered by Polygon DAO, connected blockchain developers to companies in the Polygon ecosystem. We witnessed participation from 11 hiring partners and 150 blockchain developers at the virtual job fair hosted by Polygon Village (a full-stack ecosystem for developers to build and grow) in collaboration with Devfolio (one of the leaders in onboarding builders into the Web3 ecosystem).
Our Ecosystem Jobs initiative has been focused on bridging the gap between projects in the Polygon ecosystem and relevant web3 talent; WAGMI JobDrops has added a valuable dimension to those efforts.
The event day was preceded by weeks of interactive sessions with our hiring partners that provided candidates with their hiring perspective, their take on the importance of a collaborative work culture, and information about the open roles.
WAGMI JobDrops AMA Featuring: Hiring Partners
AMA with PolygonDAO on all things WAGMI JobDrops
Through the promotional campaign, we invited blockchain developers worldwide to submit applications with information about their skill set, experience, and interest areas. It was extremely encouraging to receive interest from a diverse pool of over 3000 applicants. To maximize the number of relevant interview discussions, we had to ensure that a shortlisted group was invited.
On the other side, our hiring partners included organizations that have been pushing innovation forward and building the future of Web3 - Chainlink Labs, Hike, Animoca Brands, Colexion, Paxo Finance, Router Protocol, CoinDCX, Edverse, Quickswap, Airstack, and Horizon Blockchain Games. With more than 30 open roles, they were looking for talent within Solidity, DevOps, Backend, and Full Stack Engineers.

One of the standout features of the job fair was that it was hosted in the Metaverse (Gather Town). This meant that candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers could create their avatars, roam across the event map and start spontaneous conversations just like you would in an offline environment.
These remarkable visual elements made the event super fun to spend time in, network with fellow devs, and chat with top hiring partners.

Our hiring partners also had their own interview rooms on the map for one to one discussions with relevant talent. Candidates could walk up to these respective zones, explore the open roles and enter the room if there was interest. This made it conducive for seamless discussions and helped facilitate over 250 interviews that were conducted during the event.

Even after the event, we helped coordinate further rounds of interviews with shortlisted candidates. We were thrilled to see that more than 60 candidates were shortlisted at the event for further rounds. More than 10% of candidates have already received job offers, and several are in their final interview stage.
To recognize everyone’s participation and contribution, we shared special digital badges in the form of exclusive POAPs.
Here are some positive words from hiring partners and candidates right after the event; it was everything we could have hoped for:
WAGMI JobDrops was full of stories that ranged from long, insightful, and interesting conversations with fellow candidates to engaging interviews with hiring managers that opened up many opportunities to everyone involved.
This aligned really well with our fundamental belief that if you help the ecosystem projects connect with top web3 talent, you make a meaningful contribution to the growth journey of both sides.
Did you miss this one? Join our Talent Network to stay updated about the upcoming job fairs and also get discovered by top Web3 projects in our ecosystem. WAGMI JobDrops is an extension of our WAGMI Jobs platform, which features over 600 verified Web3 jobs from 125+ projects in our ecosystem.
Polygon DAO is the centerpiece of Polygon’s long-term strategy of progressively decentralizing the ecosystem's growth to the community. Polygon DAO aims to represent and support various areas of interest within the Polygon ecosystem. Through Polygon Village, developers gain access to everything they need to build, grow, and showcase their Web3 initiatives; projects building on Polygon receive comprehensive, quality support.
