Anurag Arjun, co-founder of Avail and one of the original architects behind Polygon, examines how decentralization could redefine the dollar’s future. As modular blockchain infrastructure advances, Arjun explores the provocative question: what happens when the dollar no longer depends on Washington? He argues that the next phase of the global financial system may not be led by governments, but by code, consensus and community.
