Over the past year, we've been focused on one goal: making Polygon the best place to build and scale payments.
Across six network upgrades (Bhilai, Heimdall v2, Rio, the 110M capacity raise, Lisovo, and Giugliano), we've improved throughput, reduced costs, strengthened finality, and increased network capacity.
Today, Polygon supports:
* Up to 5,000 payments per second
* 1.5-second block times with near-instant finality (no reorgs after Rio)
* \~$0.002 average transaction fees
* A 160M gas limit (up from 30M a year ago)
The infrastructure is already powering real-world payments and finance. Stripe now supports USDC payments on Polygon for merchants in 150+ countries, while Polymarket, BlackRock's BUIDL, Franklin Templeton's BENJI, and Apollo's tokenized fund all settle on Polygon Chain.
This is the foundation for the Polygon Open Money Stack (currently in technical preview), bringing together the chain, wallets, on-ramps, and off-ramps needed to build global payment applications.
