We’re proud to share that Atlas, our protocol for application specific orderflow auctions, has been acquired by @chainlink.
Atlas’s proven orderflow technology is now integrated into Chainlink SVR, enabling applications and protocols to capture and retain value more effectively.
Chainlink has securely enabled over $27 trillion in transaction value and currently secures more than 70% of the DeFi ecosystem. We’re excited to see Atlas scale further through Chainlink’s global distribution and infrastructure.
This is a strategic milestone for FastLane. FastLane will continue to operate independently and remain a strategic partner to Chainlink in the ongoing development and adoption of Atlas.
Our focus remains unchanged. We are doubling down on Monad, building elite staking infrastructure and developer tooling including Application Controlled Execution Software to strengthen network effects and continuing our mission with renewed clarity and focus.

JUST IN: Chainlink has acquired Atlas, the order flow auction protocol built by @0xFastLane.

@atlasevm now exclusively supports Chainlink SVR, the most-widely adopted OEV recapture solution, boosting revenue for DeFi by bringing SVR to new ecosystems.
This is quite impressive. @0xPolygon is legit to be able to handle such volume, and still offer transactions for pennies. It’s a great time to be a $POL holder.
What’s going on with Polygon PoS? 👀 12200 gwei ...
Fees are now almost on par with Ethereum mainnet… and in just one week the network burned nearly 5 million POL tokens.

Where your yield comes from on other staking platforms:
- Native staking
Where your yield comes from on shMonad:
- Native staking
- Paymaster
- Clearing house
- Task manager
- FastLane RPC
- Atlas
- MEV
Do not stake on FastLane unless you've read this.
Staking recently went live on Monad. And if you’ve seen how Jito took off on Solana, you already know liquid staking tokens (LSTs) are the future of staking.
Sooner or later, most stakers will choose LSTs over regular staking. On Monad, several MEV-powered LST protocols have emerged, and deciding where to stake your $MON will make a real difference on mainnet.
Some of the brightest minds on Monad like @unahh, @zayn4pf ,@crexsol@christiadarma have been really vocal about Staking their Mon on FastLane, here's a couple of reasons they've decided to stake on FastLane:
1. FastLane was built natively for Monad.
Most LSTs protocol just copied what worked on other chain, pasted it on Monad and call it a day,while there's nothing inherently wrong with doing this, that's not the case with FastLane. shMonad was built specifically for Monad’s architecture, taking advantage of every line of its codebase.
If you tried to run FastLane on Solana’s SVM, it wouldn’t work, that’s how deeply it’s tied to Monad’s design. This foundation means better performance, tighter integration, and higher efficiency.
2. Trusted by 99% of Monad validators.
Validators stake millions of dollars sometimes billions and they handle the backbone of the network. 99% of the validators on Monad work with FastLane.
That kind of adoption doesn’t come from marketing... it comes from trust, reliability, and real results. If the validators rely on FastLane, that’s a strong signal for the rest of us.
3. Deep partnerships with Monad’s top apps.
Over 25 of the top apps building on Monad including companies like @KuruExchange and @Curvance and @PinguExchange etc, are integrating FastLane’s tech.
These aren’t mere listings. Apps are using FastLane's tech to improve how their transactions execute, strengthen performance, and align incentives. As Monad grows, this network effect only compounds.
4. A full ecosystem of MEV products.
$shMon is just one piece of a larger ecosystem that includes:
Atlas – App Controlled Execution (ACE, formerly ASS)
Task Manager
shBundler
Custom RPC
Even before staking went live, FastLane had 6 different streams all generating yield for $shMon and shMonad sits at the heart , accruing value from all these products, making $shMon the LST with the best yield on monad.
5. App Controlled Execution (ACE)
Another flagship product by FastLane, ACE, gives applications control over how their transactions are ordered.
That means less “toxic” MEV, fairer execution, and a smoother user experience.
When you stake with FastLane, you’re not just earning yield , you’re backing a system built around fairness and user protection at the protocol level.
You can expect more and more apps to integrate ACE, Once again strengthening the already compounding network.
6. Proven track record on Polygon.
Before Monad, FastLane was the dominant MEV protocol on Polygon, connecting over 40% of the network through its MEV relay( took them only a year to reach this milestone btw), with zero sandwich attacks during that time.
That level of operational maturity and security speaks for itself.
TL;DR
1. Best yield on Monad — shMON captures value from FastLane’s entire product suite.
2. Native to Monad — built from scratch for performance and efficiency.
3. Trusted by validators and apps — the widest adoption across Monad’s ecosystem.
4. Experienced team — proven success on Polygon and five active products ready for mainnet. No other LST building on Monad can make these claims.

This is another huge win for @0xPolygon in a single day
First Wyoming Stablecoin, now the big one, Japan's fully regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to Yen, also launching on @0xPolygon
What a day!!!
What do I expect from the new POL staking — and what might it look like?
Let’s break it down 👇
1. A new Staking Hub will launch (not sure of the exact name yet), designed to secure and unify the entire Polygon ecosystem. It might be based on the current Polygon POS validator set and later expanded. Possibly integrated with AggLayer from day one - allowing access and interaction from all connected chains right away.
2. The guaranteed base yield for the next ~8 years will be around 100–105M POL per year (1% of supply), translating into ~2–2.5% APY. Everything else will be on top of that.
3. AggLayer will generate fees - already three types of fees are announced: settlement, fast interop, and atomicity. Chains like Polygon POS, Katana, and others using AggLayer will pay for these services when their users opt in (and they will opt in - new UX and apps will make sure of that).
4. VaultBridge - free for AggLayer chains, but not for external ones. If adopted widely, it could generate $1–5–10M in revenue per year. Marc already said ~10 teams are integrating it. Monetization could come from rev-share/integration fees or a 0.1–0.3% fee on bridged TVL.
5. Polygon PoS — plain and simple: network usage fees. It currently brings in ~$2–3M/year — not a huge number, but if it evolves into a true stablecoin/payment chain, this figure could grow significantly. Plus, its user base can be monetized through other AggLayer services (see point 3).
6. A liquid staked POL (LST) token is coming, unlocking DeFi utility for staked POL. This boosts demand for staking, increases security, and helps export POL across chains - especially in the AggLayer ecosystem.
7. I still believe the Staking Hub will be available to external or incubated projects from AggLayer - that was part of the original POL vision. For example, Miden might use it with a 50/50 staking split between POL and a native Miden token.
Bonus: nobody said this is the end. Polygon Labs is still building. Things like AggWallet or AggPay might also generate yield for POL holders. I hope so!
Bonus 2: don’t forget airdrops! Stakers are already eligible for several, and more are coming.
Final:
Things look quite optimistic - but adoption is key. None of these numbers or products matter without real usage and liquidity. That’s why it hasn’t launched yet - adoption must come first.
if there’s one project on Monad i wish i had deep, as in balls deep exposure into its probably FastLane man.
shipped the most high impact stuffs so far on testnet imo, Monad is lucky to have these chads fr - think it’ll be clearer on mainnet when people start hosting real value.

Important to note that @0xdoge_bull is on the team at @0xFastLane, owning their next-gen Application Specific Sequencing tech: Atlas.
Probably nothing. Nothing at all.
15% of Katana’s $KAT token goes to $POL stakers. If you needed a sign to start staking with Vault Staking, this is it!
Vault Staking is one of the longest-running validators on @0xPolygon, running continuously since October 2020! 💜
with $POL seeing over $40m net flow in the last 24hrs, it feels like the perfect time to join in and stake POL.
why?
answer is simple, because everybody eats!
1.5b $KAT (15% of total supply) is being allocated to POL stakers. you don’t want to fade this specially if you're invested in the katana ecosystem.
keep in mind that staking POL yields KAT tokens, not a base APY in POL.
here are the easy steps on how i did it:👇
- sent USDC on ETH to my @infinex wallet
- swidged to POL
- moved POL back to my cold wallet
- pick any of the validators where you want to stake it
- staked POL
i did it the unconventional way but you can literally do it with other methods.
