Polygon Labs has announced plans for a new, more decentralized governance model as part of its upcoming Polygon 2.0 roadmap.

Affected by the Azuki “Elementals” NFT incident (similar artworks, errors in the artwork, and collector dissatisfaction), the NFT market fell sharply again in the past 24 hours. BAYC fell 16%, MAYC fell 20%, and Azuki fell 11%. Earlier this year, Azuki NFTs gained significant popularity, surpassing even BAYC NFTs. Meanwhile, AzukiDAO has proposed to recover 20,000 ETH from Azuki founder ‘Zagabond’. The proposal suggests hiring a lawyer to take legal action against Zagabond for their alleged involvement in multiple “rug” projects.
