Welcome to the next stop in our cross-chain travel guide: Polygon.
If TRON is the busy stablecoin terminal, @0xPolygon is more like a whole crypto city built next to Ethereum.
Same EVM language.
Lower-cost streets.
Lots of apps, payments, DeFi, prediction markets, and RWA activity.
Now STONfi gives users a simple route there from TON and other supported networks.
Read the thread to see why Polygon matters, and how STONfi makes the route easier.
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! 🔥
Charm LPs are now up 39.2% APY in 30 days, and 25.5% in 325 days on their JPYC and USDC @0xPolygon !
🤯 Insane performance net of IL and fees at https://t.co/n7H1vf6mr1
Recent performance due to official JPYC listing on @Official_Upbit, congrats to @jpyc_official on milestone!

Tangem Pay just got easier to fund.
$USDT is now supported for top-ups, alongside $USDC, on Base, Arbitrum, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon.
Two ways you can top up:
> Swap from your Tangem Wallet to spending account 1:1, no spread, powered by @LiFiprotocol.
> Transfer from an external wallet on any supported network.
Spending stays in USDC on @0xPolygon, as usual.
More assets, more networks, one card.
