summary
Claims heavy on payments and scale: Polygon reports 60% market share (LA payments) and dominance in Southeast Asia with regional stablecoin activity, Revolut already processes $700M Revolut volume on Polygon, P2P stablecoin flow around $14–15B and total monthly stablecoin movement quoted $80–200B. Chain upgrades cut reorgs by ~1 block (2s), move confirmations toward 1s finality, throughput rises from 200 TPS to ~1,000–1,500 TPS with a roadmap to 5,000 TPS (and longer-term 100,000), plus two announced nine-figure acquisitions in payments.
