BIG UPDATE: 100M POL ready to be permanently BURNED. Polygon is printing revenue. $24.5m YTD. We are deploying a change that lets anyone in the community trigger its burn. 2026YTD Revenue Super happy about $NEAR and $ARB getting much deserved love, but in terms of revenue, my analyst at ChatGPT says: ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 : 24.5mn $ARB : $8.41m (Includes the trailblazing Robinhood chain) $NEAR : $5.6m (Includes the now legendary Near Intents) ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 is 3x revenue of $ARB, 5x of $NEAR. I hope the market gods will shower their smiles on ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 community too someday. BTW huge kudos and love to both @NEARProtocol and @arbitrum teams and communities (Forgive me for this bad cope on ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 missing out of the rally till now 😥😥) Anyways, the contracts are on testnet, after the final Security Council signatures, they go to mainnet. Then anyone can trigger the first burn, permanently burning the 100M POL instantly. Post that every quarter, anyone from the community would be able to burn ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 from the supply Since January 2026, POL has been deflationary and the network is still getting hammered with activity…payments, trades, consumer apps, everything. We have scaled 10x to 5k TPS and multiple earth shattering updates are coming on the TPS front. Every base fee adds POL to the collector. it has reached 121M POL. It's your time to burn 100M! 🔥

Heading to Devcon for another year, but this time it's coming home 🇮🇳 Excited to talk about what open financial rails can unlock for India, and to be back with the community that helped shape so much our journey. Let's paint the city purple!

Today we're launching a crypto campaign to support the people of Nepal and contribute to the Government of Nepal's Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund. To help, donate at Stablecoins work best when money has to move fast to people who need it. While many others collected donations for Nepal in a more traditional sense, we built a path that leverages blockchain technology that lands as local currency in the government's relief fund. The campaign is powered by Polygon's Open Money Stack, Coinme, and @CrossRiverBank. Blockchain for Impact has already pledged $100,000. No one's pain matters more because of geography. But some tragedies just hit differently when they touch a place that's part of your own story, and Nepal has always felt close to home for me. I was born in the Kumaon belt of Uttarakhand, India, right alongside Nepal, and my maternal family comes from that same region. Communities on both sides of the border have been connected for generations, through family, culture, faith, food, trade and everyday life. India and Nepal have what we often call "Roti-Beti ka rishta," ties of family and shared life that run far deeper than a line on a map, and Prime Minister Modi, speaking recently about Nepal, called its people our brothers and sisters. I want to do my small part to stand with them, and I hope you'll join me. This campaign lets people around the world contribute in stablecoins to support relief and rebuilding efforts in Nepal.

Polymarket products are evolving at a rapid pace. The world cup was a phenomenal success with extremely smooth execution as per our analysis onchain. The team and leadership seems locked in to make it a premier avenue for prediction markets.  Polymarket gave us another stress test with its biggest event in onchain prediction market history and Polygon didnt blink once. Over 300+ World Cup markets created, with $4.2B in volume on one market alone. To handle that load we scaled Polygon chain all year:  > gas limit raised from 60M to 160M > block times down 25% to 1.5s  > zero reorgs ALL YEAR > scaled capacity by 5x > running 5,000 payments per second, recently breached 6kTPS barrier Next:  Subsecond blocks, 10,000 TPS, then Gigagas @devjoshstevens how are you feeling? BTW you are doing a superb job so far and everyone can see the difference! @Polymarket ftw!

What @balajis is building with Network School in Malaysia is akin to laying the foundations of a Harvard or Stanford in Malasia — entirely self-funded with private capital, zero government money required. It is a massive gift to the country and its ambition to become a top global tech hub. It would be a real travesty if some anonymous, politically motivated or unscrupulous individual managed to derail this effort through baseless claims. Top Malaysian government officials should step in immediately to protect this incredible oasis of innovation and talent in Forest City. The energy, the global community, the “Learn, Burn, Earn, Fun” culture — it is clear this is something legendary in the making. A genuine startup society taking root. If Malaysia does not fully embrace and support it, then every forward-thinking government in the world — especially smaller countries and emerging nations that want to become future tech hubs — should reach out and offer full-hearted support to bring Network School to their shores. Capital and talent are mobile. The winning geographies will compete for builders like this. @anwaribrahim @GobindSinghDeo @mymdec

I realized that founders dont get paid for their hard work or smartness, they actually get paid for their suffering, and their biggest job is learning to manage the suffering as they go. there are days where nothing feels like its moving, youre getting pounded with negative news from every side at once and you cant catch a break, and it really gets to you. most people on your team are working as hard as you, but nobody is suffering as bad as you, and that suffering is what you get paid for, because that suffering is literally the fear of death constantly looming large on your head, no matter what stage of your venture youre in.
