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
