Polygon one of few chains making real money. In the month of October, @0xPolygon's chain itself generated some $2.17M in revenue, from activity on the network, averaging around $70,000 per day. Though this seems small, it is greater than some major blockchains, including @arbitrum and even @RobinhoodCrypto chain.

Polygon is now debating hardfork to hand $70.4M $POL back from attacker wallets PIP would zero out those balances and credit the same amounts to verified Polymarket and Binance addresses: ~23.86M $POL to recover Polymarket drain, and ~46.63M from Binance hack Validators already blocklisted the addresses, and per the proposal the attacker then offered them cash to unblock tx The proposal calls it a one-time thing not a whole precedent for future hardforks

Polygon is on a roll this week The @0xPolygon PoS chain has now processed a total of over 8.3 billion transactions and had around 340,000 active addresses in the last 24 hours. A big share of that action runs through @Polymarket, the prediction market holding more than half of the $687M locked in Polygon DeFi. Traders are showing up as well, pushing DEX volume on the chain up 32% to $740M over the past week. Stablecoins on Polygon hold steady near $2.9B, with USDC making up more than half. $POL gained 5.12% on the day to $0.092, lifting its market cap to about $982M.

Polygon has recorded more than 8.3 billion lifetime transactions according to Chainspect, roughly level with the UN's 2026 world population estimate, counting all activity since its 2020 launch. Full BSCN Daily episode:

Polygon's transaction count is insane. In the past 30 days alone, @0xPolygon has processed more than 145 million transactions, per data from @chainspect_app. Its cumulative transaction count now stands at an impressive 8.3 billion, and it is now a top-10 most scalable blockchain with some 55.91 real tx/s. Polygon isn't playing around in 2026.

Polygon gives AI agents a budget and a boss Polygon (@0xPolygon), the network behind ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6, has switched on agent spend controls in its Open Money Stack. A team approves what an AI agent can pay for, sets a $USDC budget and an expiry date; then the agent’s wallet enforces those terms onchain. The wallet contract rejects requests over budget, outside the approved list, or past expiry. The team can also revoke the permission at any time to stop further payments. An agent can request a top-up when credit runs low, without needing a fresh wallet approval each time.

Polygon Labs stopped competing with blockchains a while ago. We’re a payments company that uses blockchains to move money. Closing Coinme means we now run the regulated conversion layer ourselves. Time to put volume through it.

Polygon's Gigagas roadmap targets 100,000 TPS. By mid-2026 the PoS chain hit about 5,000 TPS of peak capacity. Visa added @0xPolygon to its stablecoin settlement program in April, making the $POL network one rail among several. Gigagas so far:

Polygon closes its Coinme deal and becomes a regulated US payments business @0xPolygon now holds 37 US state licenses to move money, plus 11 exemptions, covering 48 states in total, and is registered with FinCEN. It all plugs into Polygon’s Open Money Stack. Tazapay, Mesh, Toku, and Kira are among the first businesses using it for cross-border payments, account funding, global payroll, and US dollar access.
