The multichain future has been long discussed, but security remains its greatest barrier. Today, @Polygon on takes a bold step forward with the activation of Pessimistic Proofs on the AggLayer Mainnet — a breakthrough that redefines how chains communicate and scale safely.
What Is #AggLayer?
AggLayer is @Polygon blockchain aggregation protocol. It connects sovereign chains — like ZK rollups, Validiums, and app-specific chains — into a unified layer that shares liquidity, user experience, and identity. The promise? Modular scalability without fragmentation.

But with greater connectivity comes greater risk — especially when chains with different trust and security models interact.
Enter Pessimistic Proofs

Pessimistic Proofs solve a critical problem in multichain architecture: over-trust.
Rather than assuming a connected chain will behave correctly, Pessimistic Proofs enforce withdrawal limits based on provable deposits. If a chain fails or turns malicious, it can’t harm the network — because the system already assumed the worst.
This isn’t pessimism — it’s protection.
No chain can withdraw more than it has deposited. There’s no central authority to trust. Just code, math, and proofs. It’s a new level of trust-minimized interoperability.

Why This Matters
Bridge exploits have cost the industry billions.
Shared security is only as strong as the weakest chain.
Modular scaling must come with modular safety.
@Polygon Pessimistic Proofs bring serious accountability to a world where chains grow independently but still work as one. That’s what makes this upgrade so pivotal.
As someone immersed in the @DAO Labs Labs and #SocialMining ing ecosystem, this isn’t just another tech release. It’s a core building block for the secure, scalable future we talk about every day.

Dear #BinanceSquareFamily readers, the prices of tokens such as $NXPC , $BTC and $SUI in the market have been discussed in recent hours. I will tell you about @Polygon 's first quarter within the framework of the report published by @Messari today.

#Polygon continues to lead the #ZK revolution, laying the foundation for a major system transformation by integrating its PoS network into #AggLayer . Here’s some information
💰Network Revenue: +104%
📈Total TVL: $1.2B
👛Wallets: 46M
🌍Users: +118%

#defi TVL closed Q1 at $744.8M. This statistic not only signals a strong quarter, but also signals Polygon’s maturation as an L2 system that connects all chains. In addition, Polygon’s new data access layer, AggLayer, has been released. This layer aims to provide a single, unified liquidity pool across chains and a seamless user experience with ZK migrations. Each new L2 built with CDK now becomes more powerful by joining AggLayer. Thanks to Polygon CDK, Ethereum-compatible L2s can be built in seconds. And these chains can connect to AggLayer and become interoperable.
Interoperability of chains is now possible with ZK migrations. Thanks to ZK migrations, users can switch between dApps without even realizing that they are transacting on different chains. The total number of transactions on the network has reached 337 million. The average daily user number is calculated as around 2 million.
When we look at the Polygon PoS side, things are going well due to the increasing trust in the PoS chain. CDK is the backbone of Polygon's modular structure and enables new chains to be built.
AggLayer combines different CDK chains and Polygon PoS into a single system by making them Ethereum-compatible. Thus, users will be able to transact anywhere with a single wallet. Polygon is no longer just an L2; it has become a great power with CDK and AggLayer.
As the blockchain world enters 2025 quickly, the Polygon network continues to make great strides, especially in payment systems and real-world assets (RWA). According to the report, Polygon has reached a very strong position compared to other L1 and L2 networks, not only in terms of technicality but also in terms of adoption.
In the payments field, Stripe's Polygon PoS integration for USDC payments has made a big splash. Thanks to this integration, more than three million merchants in more than 150 countries can receive payments with a 1.5% transaction fee. In particular, Stripe's integration with Polygon PoS is a milestone in terms of global payment systems. Through Stripe, USDC payments are accepted for almost half of traditional card transaction fees. Transak's service, which allows users to convert stablecoins into cash with a single click, and Mastercard-Visa card volume exceeding $ 140 million are concrete examples of how Polygon works in the real world. Transak, together with platforms such as Robinhood, Bitso and Nexo, has created a total payment volume of $ 245 million.
On the RWA side, Polygon has hosted many projects, from tokenized funds such as FAST to the transfer of real estate and private credit assets to the chain. The fact that actors such as Fasanara, eNor, Brickken and Mercado Bitcoin have chosen Polygon has made the network attractive for institutional use.
All these developments continue to be supported by new technological infrastructures such as Agglayer. While the growth of Polygon PoS continues with a 4.4% increase in daily active addresses, the stablecoin supply has also increased by 23.3% to reach $2 billion.
The Polygon network has made a significant leap in the first quarter of 2025, not only in terms of technical infrastructure but also in terms of usage areas. The latest report published by Messari reveals how Polygon stands out in payment solutions and tokenization of real-world assets. Polygon's rapid progress seems to make it one of the most important network infrastructures of Web3 for the rest of 2025. Let's all stay tuned.

Polygon had a productive start to 2025, according to Messari’s latest Q1 report.
Here are the key highlights:
1. AGGLAYER MAINNET IS LIVE
Polygon launched the Agglayer mainnet with “pessimistic proofs,” a new security method that helps connect blockchains safely. Projects like Tria and SOCKET Protocol are already using it.
2. DEFI AND STABLECOINS RISE
Polygon PoS TVL: $744.8M
QuickSwap TVL grew by 72.5%
Stablecoin supply grew by 23.3%, now over $2B
3. USER GROWTH
546K daily active addresses
3.4M daily transactions
Polygon is seeing steady usage from its community.
4. NFT EXPLOSION
Daily NFT trade volume reached $1.4M, up 68%
Courtyard NFT sales hit $56.5M in March
Pokémon NFTs made up over half that total
5. DEVELOPER TOOLS
The Polygon CDK gives developers an easier way to create secure, scalable L2 chains. It’s part of Polygon’s vision of a connected blockchain internet.
CONCLUSION
Polygon is building for the future with smart tools, better security, and real user growth. The Q1 stats reflect its strong position in Web3 today.
