Hope @X cleans up the platform soon
Check out this guy. As a rule, I don’t take DMs on this app seriously. It’s a shame @X lets individuals like this operate in their platform.

I’ve been off the Polygon train for a while. Maybe it’s time to jump back on?
Stablecoins aren’t “moving around wallets” on Polygon. They’re moving through applications that depend on the network for settlement. Here’s the evidence. This chart tracks payment app transfer volume on Polygon PoS. Not DEX churn. Not internal shuffling. Actual flows through fiat on/off-ramps, payment processors, and merchant tools. Look at the composition. @aveniaio Pay alone pushed more than $500M in a single month. @Paxos, @Revolut, Coinflow, Cobo, Rain, Lemon Cash, Bitso, and dozens of others are layered on top of that. Each one represents a real business using Polygon as the backend for deposits, payouts, payroll, and cross-border movement. That is what an on/off-ramp looks like at scale. Money enters through regulated apps. It settles on Polygon. It exits through banks, fintechs, and payment companies that tap into PoS for speed and cost efficiency. The pattern is even clearer when you zoom out. This isn’t a one-off spike. It’s a steady ramp from early 2024 through 2025, with monthly volumes now pushing toward the billion-dollar range across the stack of apps. The takeaway is simple. Polygon is not just a chain with high transaction count. It is the infrastructure layer these payment companies rely on for real settlement. On/off-ramps are being built at the application level, not the protocol level. @0xPolygon is where those applications transact. If you want to understand where stablecoin utility is actually happening, follow the payment apps. November txns highlighted below 👇 courtesy of research done by @obchakevich_

Hard to see him go. He was a vocal supporter, then a silent one, held his bags through it all and now… no bags.
As a long term supporter and ofc shilling $FTM / $S for years I have to share my opinion about the current state. It was all over the TL that @AndreCronjeTech changed his Bio and deleted his Medium articles. Many know that I also was very critical over the last 12 months which Andre didn’t like which ended up with blocking, followed by conversations and kind of finding a way to keep things the good way. This is no d!ck sucking to Andre by the way but I believe to understand what is going on here. Many don’t know, $FTM was there before Andre, they raised 20-40M promising to create the Fantom Blockchain. Andre came in and actually created the EVM Fantom Blockchain, outperforming Eth by far and than the DeFi part started in 2021 which ofc had hick ups. Mercedes Benz tests cars 5 years before they go to market, in DeFi we had 5 weeks and now 5 days if not 5hrs so ofc there will be bugs. Long story short, many people took advantage of $FTM and cashed out Millions in 2021 and some milked the protocol even harder while certain trials with Countroes fell apart due to war situations. While Luna and FTX collapsed also $FTM collapsed and the entire ecosystem. Been in a very bad bear market @AndreCronjeTech and @michaelfkong with Schulz came together to develop the next next stage, the fastest Blockchain in the World. Launched end of 2024 Sonic arrived with a rebranding from Fantom to Sonic and we got $S for $FTM While $FTM was on major exchanges the transition was very difficult and the migration didn’t go well which ofc had a price impact. $FTM was trading in November 2024 at around $1.40. Long story short, eco system strifed for a while bit the $S price were tanking and people started to critize Andre, including me. A year later, $S is trading below 10c and people still blame Andre while he said for years now, that he is not the main guy and helped with the tech. So instead of giving him shot the question is, who is running the previous Fantom and now Sonic Foundation. @michaelfkong stepped down as CEO and was replaced with @MitchellDemeter which has not really a clue of the tech while running the Sonic Strategy on the “famous”Canadian Exchange. So what is the qualification here? What is the qualification of the BD Sam and who has any qualification at all on Sonic Labs? That said, I understand Andre for pulling out since there moght be no future for Sonic as a Chain and clearly not for @SonicLabs RIP $FTM and $S Really had conviction.

My money is on @truemarkets
Curve and Uniswap used to dominate the AMM market, so Andre Cronje dropped Solidly and ve(3,3) Uniswap launched to take a fraction of the market out of Binance/Coinbase. Opensea and Rarible used to control the NFT marketplace. Then came Blur and Magic Eden. Crypto is full of these stories, and it got me thinking: @Polymarket and @kalshi control the prediction markets. Which project will compete with them? We’re SO early here. Will it be @pmx_trade? @truemarkets? @combinatortrade? Did I miss someone?

What really blows my mind is that all of this chaos and FUD could be completely preventable. Community members are left to make assumptions about xyz, outrage builds, and suddenly ppl scramble for damage control. All of this is completely AVOIDABLE. @SonicLabs transparency was promised and there have been many situations where timely communication could have shifted sentiment instead of letting FUD fill the gap. The Resonance Fund post was a missed opportunity. A proactive update explaining that funding activities were underway would have prevented confusion and framed the narrative positively. The community is aware there’s a new BD lead hire, yet there’s been no introduction. Even a short announcement would have built confidence and shown forward momentum. There’s also this new marketing lead. The silence around who only fuels speculation and makes people assume the old regime is still operating behind the scenes. Again, a simple intro post would have been a constructive reassuring update. The Resonance Fund explanation is appreciated but it arrived much after the community traced a wallet funded by Sonic Labs. A concise message released earlier could have prevented unnecessary noise and strengthened trust. These wasted opportunities are costing you your community (a community already exhausted) and these are just a few examples. They deserve better!

Haven’t thought about DAI in a long time but it’s alive and well on Polygon
USDC still dominates Polygon stables, but @MakerDAO's DAI has increased throughout the year. Interesting, considering the token's ecosystem rebranded completely to @SkyEcosystem and has a new stablecoin, USDS, which isn't even on @0xPolygon. Transactions are picking up. What's going on?

AggLayer is making a connected web3 into a reality
This is what makes @Agglayer so cool. The @0xPolygon team works closely with the @XLayerOfficial team for them to use Polygon CDK OP-Geth, a variant of OP Stack with stronger security guarantees and interop than vanilla OP Stack, by relying on zk proofs and interop using Agglayer. This variant by Polygon is now stronger with @katana and @XLayerOfficial leveraging it for better interop on Agglayer.

Today @MicroStrategy filings showed $928.1m of share issuance, with 1.1 mNAV. Only 6 months ago @saylor said purchases would only occur > 2.5mNAV. Continued share dilution will push mNAV<1 , increasing the likelihood of BTC sales & share buybacks. The hubris is astounding.

Rails are being laid and it looks like @0xPolygon is going to be the Asian regional stablecoin hub
KRW1 is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 with the South Korean won, and it's expanding from @avax to Polygon. If you've been keeping up with Polygon news lately, you're probably noticing a pattern. This isn't random. They proved this model works in LATAM and now Asia is following the playbook. @BDACSKorea's KRW1 is the latest, with India's ARC launching in Q1 2026. Regional stablecoins aren't a competition for USDT or USDC, they're bridging global crypto and local economies. They're important because they solve real problems. For example, take remittances, a massive use case for anyone working outside of their native country. Your previous options were services that usually cost up to 10% of your transaction and took 3-5 days to settle. Now you can send stablecoins powered by Polygon virtually instantly for under a dollar in fees. Regional stablecoins like KRW1 bridge that gap. Your family can receive Korean won without touching USDC at all. There's a reason regional currencies are choosing to partner with @0xPolygon. Polygon handles 70% of all non-USD stablecoins, with proven adoption in Latin America where it processes 90% of the region's stablecoin transfers. No need to worry about multi-chain headaches where you use bridges (sometimes many!) while you watch your value diminish due to transaction fees. Multiple currencies, supported by one network. As more regional stablecoins choose Polygon, it's positioning itself as the liquidity hub connecting global economies onchain, and we're STILL early. (graph came from @petertherock)

I'm glad @AerodromeFi was so transparent about what happened this weekend. Like several others, I noticed that something was up with the .finance link, but chose not to reconnect my wallet (because I've never had to do that before). Then I went to @RFLnow's Terminal to check that my funds were still where I left them, safe and sound. Terminal lets you see your active pools, balance, a summary of what you're doing on Aerodrome, as well as our txn history and balance overview, all in one place. I've been asked how I knew our funds were fine - this was how. Get back into Aerodrome today via aero.drome.eth.limo or use Reflect's tools like Flight Fren (chat.reflect.now) to interact with the smart contracts and monitor your profits via Terminal (chat.reflect.now/terminal) Stay safe 🫡

On November 21st, the centralized domains of both Velodrome and Aerodrome were hijacked and directed to malicious content. This attack was caught and mitigated quickly with the support of our security partners — and a plan for how to move forward is now ready. 👇

Want to get your liquidity out of the @AerodromeFi pools but don't want to connect to the alternate links (aero.drome.eth.limo or aero.drome.eth.link)? No worries. The hack yesterday didn't impact smart contracts, just the UX. go to chat.reflect.now, connect your wallet that has your Aerodrome investments and talk to Flight Fren to unstake and withdraw your liquidity. Just have a casual conversation with @RFLnow's agent, confirm transactions, and have peace of mind.

Well for your information, I’m not posting fake screenshots, and I guess you should talk to you tech team before coming at me because they are incompetent and please don’t quote me again I’ve forgotten about you guys and for good…
