BREAKING: @awscloud content publishers can monetize AI traffic and get paid with stablecoins over @x402 on Solana.
Instead of blocking bots (which account for up to 50% of traffic), publishers can set a per-request price for access, and get paid with USDC.
MILESTONE: 5,000 payments per second on Polygon.
→ Support for 5,000 payments per second
→ Block times down to 1.5 seconds
→ Same low fees
Billions in stablecoins already move on rails that just got faster.

The future of banks is onchain.
With @cubewire, we're publishing a white paper for institutions that maps a way out of the 20th century wilderness:
Bespoke, private blockchains. Data stays local but access to liquidity stays global.

HUGE! @FortuneMagazine just put it in writing. Polygon top 5 in blockchains and protocols, and they called out our pivot to stablecoins by name.
one of the most established names in business just told the world what we already knew. Polygon = Payments 💜
i know the value of $POL doesn't reflect our fundamentals but markets eventually catch up
Polygon has the best app stack in Web3
- 50,000 apps reportedly live on Polygon
- Payments grew from $1B to $5B
- Stablecoin supply hit $3.4B ATH
- Monthly stablecoin volume reached $298B
- Polygon crossed $407K daily fees in Feb
- Briefly flipped Ethereum in daily fees
- Polymarket did $3.7B volume in 30 days
- Polygon has deep adoption across payments
- Also strong across gaming and DeFi
Polygon was ready when usage arrived.
Now the numbers are catching up to the vision.
97% of all tokenized stock trading last month happened on Solana.
A month of records across real-world assets, stablecoins, perps, and collectibles.
Here are a few figures that mattered:
the floodgates on enterprise stablecoin adoption are just starting to open. by the time theyre fully open, @0xPolygon will be processing payments at the speeds these enterprises need and then some.
second block time cut in a month now. 2s down to 1.5s, thats 33% more payments per second, and we are not done.
sub second coming soon 👀
Hi @sandeepnailwal@0xAishwary Everyone criticise the future technology but i will highlight some positive points:
Annual Emissions: Roughly 2% per year (initial proposal for the first ~10 years), split as:
• 1% for validator staking rewards.
• 1% for the Community Treasury
We said accelerate. We meant it.
Polygon mainnet block time: 1.75s → 1.5s. The second cut since genesis.
Faster blocks, quicker confirmations, ~16% more payments per second.
