Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.
  • Deutsche Telekom has joined the Polygon Proof-of-Stake network as one of 100 validators.
  • Polygon will benefit from Deutsche Telekom MMS’s validation nodes.

Polygon (MATIC), the leading Layer-2 scaling platform for Ethereum (ETH), has announced a cooperation with German telecom major Deutsche Telekom. Deutsche Telekom has joined the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network as one of 100 validators thanks to the agreement between the two companies.

While the telecoms platform investigates the full potential of blockchain technology, the partnership will help to strengthen Polygon’s security and decentralization. German telecom giant Deutsche Telekom is committed to developing the Ethereum network’s infrastructure.

Efficiency and Openness

The company is much more dedicated to the L2 platform now that it has partnered with them. The statement states that Polygon’s PoS network and Supernet technologies would get staking and validation services from Deutsche Telekom MMS, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom.

Polygon will benefit from Deutsche Telekom MMS’s validation nodes, and the company will also lend a hand in protecting the privacy of Polygon’s PoS side chains and the Supernet application chain. As a result, it would strengthen the protocol’s security, governance, and decentralized nature.

Deutsche Telekom MMS recognizes the significance of this relationship and values the efficiency and openness of the Polygon network from the perspective of both developers and network operators.

For the protocol, this is unmistakable proof that the blockchain network is becoming more well-known and accepted, and is being embraced by a wide range of organizations. Moreover, Michael Blank, Polygon Labs’ COO, has urged other companies to consider coming on board.

The PoS network has made a number of improvements this year that facilitate expansion. Polygon Labs’ zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) entered public beta testing in March.
