On January 15, 2025, the price of AIXBT tokens surged nearly 70% in 24 hours, becoming the most prominent name in the AI Agent segment as the crypto market rebounded strongly. At the same time, this project is also preparing to transition its subscription model, promising significant growth potential.

AIXBT: From Memecoin to AI Market Analysis Tool

$AIXBT by Virtuals is not just a memecoin but also an advanced AI Agent, integrating artificial intelligence to analyze crypto market data. This platform collects and processes information from social networks like X (Twitter) to identify investment trends, hot events, and market sentiment.

As #bitcoin struggles to break above 105k, the most talked about altcoins by #Binance users today were #ETH $EOS $PEPE and $NXPC tokens. Today, we will all be reviewing the report recently published by #Messari on the current status of the @Polygon Network in Q1 2025
#SocialMining

The first quarter of 2025 was a period of not only technical developments but also strategic growth for the Polygon ecosystem. The comprehensive analysis published by Messari highlights both the advancements in technological infrastructure and the expansion of use cases.
Agglayer Opens the Door to a New Era
Polygon’s pessimistic proof-of-concept Agglayer protocol, which was launched on its mainnet on February 3, 2025, has become a critical building block for cross-chain interoperability in the ecosystem. This technology combines blockchains with different security models into a single structure, maintaining decentralization while increasing the overall security of the system. Projects such as Tria, SOCKET Protocol, Karate Combat, and Rome Protocol are just a few concrete examples of this vision.
PoS Network Activity and Value Rise
The Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network saw remarkable growth in both user activity and economic indicators in Q1. The average daily active address count increased by 4.4% to 546,000, while the average daily transaction volume increased by 8% to 3.4 million. Polygon PoS’s total DeFi TVL increased to $744.8 million. Protocols such as Spiko and QuickSwap showed quarterly increases of 28.9% and 72.5%, respectively.
Stablecoins and RWAs on the Rise
Stablecoin supply grew by 23.3% quarterly to $2 billion, making it the most active user category in Polygon PoS. Stablecoin usage has gained significant momentum, especially in areas such as payment systems and tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). This development is an important indicator that Polygon offers a strong infrastructure for real-world applications in the Web3 world.
NFT and the Courtyard Effect
The most striking development in the NFT sector was the Courtyard platform's record volume with Pokémon-themed collectibles. The platform, which sold $56.5 million worth of NFTs in March, grew by 439.5%. This increase shows that demand and user appetite for digitized collectibles continue to be strong.
Financial Indicators and User Experience
Although the first quarter of 2025 witnessed a decrease in the market value of the POL token, this is partly attributed to the transition process from MATIC to POL. The decrease in average transaction fees to $0.01 made Polygon quite attractive in terms of user experience. EIP-4844 and "blob" technology, which provide cheaper data transfer to L1, came into play at this point, reducing transaction costs.
Governance and Developer Focus
With Polygon Governance 2.0, ecosystem management has become more transparent and community-focused. The activation of the Protocol Council and the launch of the Governance Hub provided developers with the opportunity to directly participate in protocol upgrades. During this period, new transaction types were introduced on the Heimdall layer and the Danelaw hardfork was implemented.
Looking Ahead: Polygon's Strategic Vision
While Polygon raises the bar in cross-chain coordination with the Agglayer infrastructure, it aims to make its PoS network a leading platform in stablecoin, DeFi, NFT and RWA use cases. In particular, the deep integration of ZK technology and the opportunities offered to developers with the CDK (Chain Development Kit) accelerate Polygon's adoption as an infrastructure.
Conclusion
Messari's report clearly shows Polygon's steps towards becoming a cross-chain network, moving beyond being just a Layer-2 solution. The first quarter of the year was a period in which Polygon both improved its technical capabilities and laid a solid foundation for the mass adoption of Web3. This growth trajectory, supporting real-world applications, could propel Polygon into a central player position by 2025.

Polygon continues to solidify its position as one of the most robust Layer 2 ecosystems in Web3. Major Milestone: Agglayer Mainnet Launch
On February 3, 2025, Polygon launched the Agglayer mainnet, a major step in its multichain vision. Agglayer enables unified liquidity and shared security between chains, using “pessimistic proofs” to enhance cross-chain safety.

Initial integrations include: Tria, SOCKET Protocol, Karate Combat, Rome Protocol. This marks a turning point for Polygon’s modular scaling architecture.
Network Performance:
Daily Active Addresses averaged 546K, a +4.4% QoQ increase. Daily Transactions reached 3.4M, up +8.0% QoQ. Polygon PoS remains one of the most active blockchains, driven by consistent developer activity, dApp usage, and user growth.

DeFi Growth: Polygon’s DeFi ecosystem showed strong momentum in Q1:
TVL reached $744.8M, QuickSwap TVL grew +72.5% QoQ, Spiko TVL rose +28.9% QoQ

The network’s improving liquidity and protocol diversity highlight growing user trust and capital inflows.

Stablecoins on the Rise:
Stablecoin supply surged to $2B, a +23.3% QoQ gain

Polygon continues to attract stablecoin users and issuers, solidifying its role as a key payment and settlement layer.

NFT Ecosystem Momentum:
NFT Trading Volume rose +68.2% QoQ, averaging $1.4M/day

Courtyard’s Pokémon NFT drop alone generated $28.9M in March

Polygon’s low fees and EVM compatibility are attracting major NFT projects and collectors alike.

What’s Next?
zkEVM Validium is coming to Polygon PoS, combining zk-rollup security with higher throughput
Polygon is moving full speed ahead on its vision of a scalable, modular, multichain future — with key innovations that blend L1 security and L2 efficiency.

TL;DR
Polygon in Q1 2025 =
✔️ Scalable Infrastructure
✔️ Exploding DeFi & NFT activity
✔️ Massive network engagement

Recently, ADA broke through the neckline of the 'rounded bottom' pattern at $0.74, a technical signal indicating an uptrend, according to BitMonty. The next resistance levels are $1.1032, $1.3127, and $1.4846. Data from World of Charts shows $ADA challenging the long-term downtrend channel, similar to the pattern that helped prices triple in October 2024. If the uptrend continues, ADA could reach $1.3730, even $1.4846 in the short term.

I wonder if investors who are newly exposed to Web3 have this feeling:
I have read investment analysis reports from major institutions like t-88, t-90, t-92, and listened to popular terms like t-94, t-96, and Restaking, but... new projects emerge every day, and each project has multiple labels attached. How can I find these subdivided projects in popular tracks?
Many people think that understanding reports is enough to understand projects, but when it comes to practice, they find: concepts exist, the direction is vague, project classifications are chaotic, and it is impossible to accurately target.
If you are troubled by this, let this article help you solve the problem.
