Partnerships & Investor Relations @0xPolygon | Previously Co-founder @0xsequence @TrailsHQ (acquired by Polygon) 💜

[Michael Sanders @_michaelsanders]

I’m thrilled to share that @0xPolygon is acquiring @0xsequence!

We’re combining forces, alongside @Coinme, who’s also being acquired, to deliver the Open Money Stack: a unified solution to move money globally.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

We just crossed $200M in total intent volume.

Users decide what they want to do. The rest gets abstracted: routing, bridging, chain logic, all behind 1-click through the Open Money Stack

Polygon Trails processes real payments at scale.

[Polygon | POL @0xPolygon]

Most stablecoin guidance is written for people learning the concept.

This one is for people making infrastructure decisions.

We mapped the full stack. Read it for free here: https://t.co/HTPInRcbEb

My maternal grandfather was a house servant in Mumbai. Every time he had to send money back home to my grandmother and kids, he had to walk 3-4 km to reach the nearest post office. Home was a small village near Dwarhat in Uttarakhand, which didnt even have road access back then, the closest road came much later and was still about a km away from the village.

And sending that money wasnt a quick errand. He had to take half a day off, sometimes a full day, just to stand in long lines at the post office and send a "money order". The maalik he worked for would get pissed about it and cut his Sunday leave, and Sunday was the only day he had off in the entire week. He paid a fee that wasnt cheap for him, and even when everything went smoothly the money would still reach days later.

That was the reality of being poor, you had to toil just to move your own money. The fees were somewhat manageable because India had a nationalised postal service, but they were still harsh for a guy like my grandfather. The delays were the worst part. If a money order got stuck for a week or two my grandmother would end up borrowing wheat and dal from neighbours, especially in peak winter when supply was already tight.

Sometimes during strikes or disruptions he had to trust random intermediaries to carry the cash for him. You just didnt have many other options.

And this isnt some old story. The global average cost of sending remittances today is still around 6-7%. Thats what the poor are still paying just to move their own money across a border.

Now someone can send dollar stablecoins across borders in seconds for less than a cent, no bank sitting in between taking its cut. In Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, stablecoins are already becoming part of how people actually live. When your own currency is devaluing year after year, nobody has to sell you on the idea, you just want something stable you can hold and send whenever you need to.

My Nanaji deserved this convenience 50 years ago. Billions of people still deserve it today. Thats why @0xPolygon wants to move all money onchain 💜

When you're dealing with valuable things, the method matters.

It's not our first trillion.

In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion

[James Lawton @jameslawton]

We just shipped the fastest path from zero to an agent.

Instead of stitching together 5-10 different providers, we packaged it into a single CLI.

Supercharged with:
- smart wallets with onchain session limits & gasless payments
- funding, top ups to reduce friction for transacting with integrated bridging & swaps
- integrated indexing and RPC queries
- seamless deposits into DeFi protocols
- 8004 registration for onchain agent discovery
- x402 payments with no fees

[Michael Sanders @_michaelsanders]

@0xPolygon @GrupoBraza Great to see Polygon expand its dominance in non-USD stablecoins, in addition to USD stables.

[Marc | Polygon Labs (💜,⚔️, ※) @0xMarcB]

The $39T B2B payments market is broken infrastructure.

Over $2.3 trillion of stablecoins have settled on @0xPolygon in seconds for essentially free.

You aren't left guessing where the money's moving. You can see it onchain at all times.

[Michael Sanders @_michaelsanders]

@0xPolygon @GlobalBlueGroup @Shift4 Awesome to see real-world consumer use cases on the world stage.

vibe coders should understand something:

i love how easy AI is making it for people to build their own apps, push them into production, and start businesses

but let's be clear: the future is not in humans building consumer-facing apps

the future is everything becomes an API which your personal AI agent can interact with in ways which suit your specific needs and lifestyle (down to the very specific needs of you as an individual)

the fact that you can use the machines to build your apps is just an intermediate step to the machines creating the apps for you, LIVE, as you need them

so the value of you learning how to build apps now really lies in you learning how to create a business model behind that app- not in creating the piece of software that is the app itself

sure, there will be templates for how you can interact with those apps/APIs, but your personal AI will pick one and tailor it even further for you. and a lot of the time, you won't even need to interact with a UI beyond speaking with your AI assistant

let me give you an example: would you rather use an app like Uber or Uber Eats, or would you rather just ask your AI assistant to get you a ride somewhere or to show you menus for the type of food you might be interested in and you pick one? the value in apps like that is not in the app installed on your phone. it's in the backend business model which connects the customer with providers. and personal AI assistants actually open the door to you being able to seamlessly use multiple business APIs without worrying in the slightest about which app or intermediate provider they come from

there is a decent chance apps as you know them will be mostly dead in ~5-10 years

and yes, there are some apps which will still require deep optimization and that is where the hardcore coders may still be needed. but machines will get better at that, and if you take one look at the AAA gaming landscape, you should understand that hyper-optimized code isn't as valuable as it used to be

but what will be valuable is owning the APIs with the most use and liquidity. and yes, a lot of those will use public blockchains

things are going to accelerate and get very weird very quickly from here

[HomeValidator.eth @iDecentralized]

$ETH is officially the most undervalued it has been since 2019.

Ethereum network activity is at literal All-Time Highs (3.4M active addresses w/ contracts) while the price is 50% off its peak.

This is the same "coiled spring" setup from 2018/2019, just on a much larger scale.

The repricing will be violent.

[Michael Sanders @_michaelsanders]

@TrailsHQ is officially live and accessible for everyone to build with: 1-click crypto transactions across any token, chain, and wallet.

[Trails @TrailsHQ]

Trails is now LIVE for everyone!

Trails is the universal intents platform for 1-click crypto transactions across any token, any chain, any wallet, and it’s officially open to the public. Anyone can now get an API key by creating a Trails account with your email address.

Trails is already live with @ForesightNow and @katana, as well as other major partners.

Now, as part of @0xPolygon, Trails is evolving its brand from blue to purple 💜 While our look may be changing, our focus remains the same: solving the triple fragmentation problem.

.@moltbook + @openclaw agents: if you're looking to spin up a wallet and transact onchain, Polygon has the environment already working at scale.

It’s where agentic payments are concentrating now, with low fees, fast settlement, and real usage.

[Michael Sanders @_michaelsanders]

Global payments are finally catching up to the internet 🌍💸

The Visa/Mercuryo partnership proves that onchain money is more versatile and productive than legacy tech.

At @0xPolygon, we’re moving all money onchain because it’s the only way to build a truly borderless future.
