Polygon’s Q1 2025: Agglayer Launch, NFT Momentum & DeFi Revival

Messari’s Q1 2025 report confirms Polygon’s dominant L2 momentum. In February, the Agglayer mainnet launched—unlocking secure cross-chain communication via pessimistic proofs. Early adopters include Tria and Karate Combat.

Network usage grew steadily:

546K+ daily active addresses (+4.4%)

3.4M daily transactions (+8%)

DeFi TVL rose to $744.8M, driven by QuickSwap (+72.5%) and Spiko (+28.9%). Stablecoins remain core, with supply reaching $2B, now accounting for 41% of gas usage.

NFTs exploded: $56.5M in March volume, with $28.9M from Courtyard’s Pokémon-powered assets alone.

Looking ahead, Polygon’s PoS chain will be upgraded with zkEVM Validium, combining zk-security with scalability.

Polygon continues evolving from an L2 into a modular Web3 hub.
