History

• From Decrypt (17-6-2021):

“Gajesh Naik is, in fact, 13 years old. But he’s also chief architect of PolyGaj, a DeFi protocol built on the Polygon blockchain. "I had the basic math skills, like addition, subtraction,” said Naik over the phone from his family’s home in Goa, India. “That’s all which was required. Then afterwards I started learning all the programming languages.” When he started talking about the languages he’d learned (he knows C, C++, Java, JavaScript, and Solidity), a picture began to form. Naik started learning to code five years ago at a dedicated boot camp, using a drag-and-drop tutorial program called Scratch. At the time, he was just eight years old. As for how exactly a 13-year-old kid was able to code a multi-million dollar ecosystem on his own, Kalsy explained that Gajesh is probably more of a shrewd creative than a coding genius, since PolyGaj is “essentially a clone of Goose Finance,” a DeFi project built on a different blockchain called the Binance Smart Chain. The two sites look almost identical, outside of a few minor tweaks. Kalsy added that the algorithms behind PolyGaj come from a contract called “MasterChef,” which underpins another popular DeFi protocol: SushiSwap.

Governance

Admin Key

• From Decrypt (17-6-2021):

"Chris Blec, a DeFi researcher, has criticized the code behind PolyGaj’s $GAJ token for allowing a single administrator to exert control over the entire network. The address currently designated as the contract’s “owner” also happens to hold around 350,000 $GAJ, or nearly $150,000 at today’s prices. Naik has nearly 18,000 followers on Twitter, and his full name is out in the wild; if he were to use his administrator privileges to run off with the money, Kalsy reasoned, his reputation would be destroyed."

Roadmap

Audits

• Bug bounty program can be found [insert here].

Usage

• From Decrypt (17-6-2021):

"Today, PolyGaj manages around $1 million in cryptocurrency. Late last month, after the billionaire Mark Cuban made an investment in Polygon, that number was nearly $7 million."
