More institutional-grade privacy options are live with Polygon CDK. Launch a custom private chain connected to global onchain liquidity, with a new validium configuration powered by @SuccinctLabs. Private where it matters. Actually connected where it counts.

New version of our cross-chain intent infrastructure Trails is live! What's new? - Composable Actions (Swap -> Bridge -> Stake -> Deposit in a single signature) - Lower gas costs - Improved funding flows - No more infinite approvals

We're building Trails to bring one-click simplicity into onchain payments. We just shipped v1.5 to bring composable actions into Trails. Details in the thread.

The future of marketplace commerce is on Polygon. @Meta launched stablecoin payouts for creators on the Polygon Chain. Live in Colombia and the Philippines, with 160+ markets coming, users now get faster settlement with USDC while gaining access to dollar denominated assets.

The world's largest payment network settles stablecoins on Polygon. Now supported on its global stablecoin settlement program, Visa's partners can choose Polygon rails to move money instantly.

Mexican peso yield is live on Polygon.

Capital that can't move is capital that can't compete. I talked through how @0xPolygon sPOL changes that with @beincrypto. beincrypto.com/polygon-spol-l…

A global settlement network requires great scale and reliability and @0xPolygon continues to lead the way with the Giugliano hardfork. So far we're seeing: * ~1.5s faster finality, allowing even our highest throughput platforms like @Polymarket to confirm transactions meaningfully faster. * 2x to 3x more execution headroom thanks to a new prefetch mechanism that greatly increased our processing capacity. * Better fee estimation inputs for tooling. Based on the observed gains, the capacity unlocked by Giugliano points to a potential TPS range around ~7.7k to ~8.9k (~325M to ~372M gas). More: polygon.technology/blog/giugliano…

Moving money globally should be as seamless as moving data. x402 makes that real for agents, APIs, and apps. We're proud to join the foundation alongside @Coinbase, @awscloud, @Google, @stripe, @Mastercard, @Visa, and many more to build the future of internet-native payments.

Congrats to our friends at @katana for reaching this milestone. Katana was one of the first teams to build with @0xPolygon CDK - 800 mgas/s, 40k TPS, fractions of a cent per txn, unified liquidity via Agglayer, crosschain intents via Trails This is purpose-built infrastructure on the Open Money Stack.

🔮 Your autonomous agent can now predict directly from the terminal. Find the @Polymarket skill in the Polygon Agent CLI to browse live markets, choose outcomes, and place trades. Polygon is the home of agentic primitives.

Today we're launching our instant zero-to-one kit for agents to transact on @0xPolygon. Polygon is for payments. Polygon is for 🤖.

who's familiar w Goodhart's law? in essence: "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" (h/t @samrags_) x402 servers figured out how to circumvent our gamed txn flagging methodology (which wasn't too difficult tbh), so we rebuilt it the old method only caught obvious circular flows, but this second iteration uses a combination of heuristics that make it much more robust in identifying gaming patterns so w these improvments in flagging this gaming, the story looks different now: 1) x402 gaming is still rampant -- servers just got better at hiding it. 2) @base clearly has demonstrated the most consistent x402 activity, @0xPolygon's recent strides in fostering agentic x402 activity are real, and ~86% of @solana's all-time x402 activity is gamed (the below chart filters out gamed txns) 3) when filtering out gamed txns, Infrastructure & Utilities is now the dominant category for genuine x402 activity -- this includes servers like x402-secure-api.t54.ai (by @t54ai), @AgentLISA_ai, echo.merit.systems (by @merit_systems), @BetoraPro (the below chart filters out gamed txns) 4) @PayAINetwork is facilitating the most real x402 activity (the below chart filters out gamed txns) there are many ways to react to this data. sometimes inflating numbers is part of the playbook, especially early on when you're trying to demonstrate traction or bootstrap a network effect. but if we're serious about x402 and agentic payments being adopted on the largest scale, we need to see through the noise. i'm not trying to call anyone out -- i'm trying to bring attention to the right signals and the teams actually shipping legitimate use cases. identify the real builders. the real use cases. the real momentum. that's how the space moves forward x402.

The data is in 📊 Polygon closes out the month as #1 by transaction volume, with USDC crossing 20M txns over the weekend for the first time. Polygon is the fastest growing chain for payments.

Thank you to the journalists for the article based on my data! January 2026: nearly 2M payment transfers on @0xPolygon - a doubling in 2 months. Key drivers: AI agents for payments, $10-$100 USDC transactions, partnerships with @Revolut, @stripe and the acquisition of @0xsequence. Q4 2025: $3.5B in volume through 50+ apps (+96% QoQ). This is real usage, not speculation. Polygon is becoming the infrastructure for global digital payments. Article: livebitcoinnews.com/polygon-paymen…

JUST IN: Gas limit is now 100 MILLION and TPS pushing 2,380+ Only Polygon can handle the load of @Polymarket 5min markets 10% of gigagas speed has officially been achieved.

@john3gan @Coinme @0xsequence @0xPolygon Hi John! Fantastic news! How is the POL token going to play a role in this?

Let's go! Thrilled to welcome @Coinme and @0xsequence to @0xPolygon as we accelerate our efforts to build the Open Money Stack. What this means for Polygon: - 💸 Polygon is becoming a regulated money mover in 48 states, which will include not only cards and bank transfers but also 50,000 cash-to-crypto physical locations around the US. - 🛠️ Polygon is getting a jumpstart to its onchain developer capabilities for wallets, chain interoperability, and blockchain native tools. Watch this space as we unify these offerings to serve our mission to move all money onchain. Excited to work with you and your teams, @peterk and @neilbergquist!

The world has moved on from slow, fragmented infrastructure. Information is now real-time and global. Yet money isn’t. On @0xPolygon the settlement layer already works at internet scale and we're ready for the next chapter: to move all money onchain. The Open Money Stack will enable a world where businesses can operate globally by default, funds can stay productive regardless of location, and the daily complexity of money fades into the background. There’s a lot more unfolding behind the scenes and more to come, but I’m excited to be on this journey with @0xMarcB, @sandeepnailwal, and the rest of this incredible team.
