On September 5th, MEXC hosted an AMA with Aishwary Gupta, Head of Payments and RWA at Polygon, to discuss the MATIC-to-POL token upgrade, GigaGas scalability roadmap, and Polygon’s role in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Key Highlights
- MATIC → POL Upgrade — Polygon is evolving from a single-chain solution into a multi-chain ecosystem. The POL token powers staking, gas fees, and ecosystem rewards. Holders can also join community airdrops from new Polygon projects.
- GigaGas Scalability — Polygon POS already supports 1,000+ TPS, but the GigaGas upgrade targets 5,000+ TPSsoon and aims for 100,000 TPS long-term, delivering faster and cheaper transactions.
- RWA & Payments Leadership — Polygon leads in real-world asset tokenization with over $1B+ TVL, working with institutions like BlackRock and Hamilton Lane. It’s also becoming a global payments hub, processing 50%+ of non-USD stablecoin volume and integrating with Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, and Revolut.
With over 5.3B+ transactions, $141B transfer volume, and deep fintech integrations, Polygon is positioning itself as the scaling backbone for Web3 and global payments.
