Polygon PoS Was So Ahead of Its Time

Polygon dApps had a breakout year in 2024. While your uncles and grandmother were tracking the US presidential race on Polymarket, a predictions market that accurately called the election, your cousins were playing MATR1X FIRE, a play and earn mobile shooting game.

Polygon PoS Was So Ahead of Its Time

Polygon dApps had a breakout year in 2024.

While your uncles and grandmother were tracking the US presidential race on Polymarket, a predictions market that accurately called the election, your cousins were playing MATR1X FIRE, a play and earn mobile shooting game. Courtyard.io digitized collectibles, like a first-edition Charizard, by putting them onchain (and in a Brinks vault). And Assetera's MiFID-compliant platform began collaborating with Backed Finance to enable blockchain based trading of traditional securities (beginning with Nvidia, Coinbase and S&P 500).

This is just a taste of what it feels like to go mainstream—with support from the Polygon Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network.

Polygon PoS helps builders breakout with high-quality user experience and bleeding-edge features like account abstraction—all combined with the stability of low fees and fast finality. Some data about Polygon PoS to chew on, compared to the end of 2023 (and pulled from onchain analytics tools, like Dune):

Network usage alongside the growth of major breakout moments.

here i say it. @0xPolygon PoS was so ahead of its time. it was so underappreciated because we all were too ambitious thinking we could have state validation 4 years ago. Polygon PoS tech is far more secure than most “rollups” launching today and many are reinventing their tech. https://t.co/mmFpFzNqnx

But maintaining a stable, secure, and low-fee platform that scales Ethereum takes constant innovation. This year saw major upgrades, like the Napoli and Ahmedabad hardforks, which improved user experience, stabilized the network, and added new Ethereum features before Ethereum.

Let’s look at ten breakout moments on Polygon PoS that helped turn 2024 into a banner year for crypto—then pivot to where Polygon PoS is going in the future.

Top breakout moments on Polygon PoS in 2024

My bold prediction for @0xPolygon in 2025 (a hot take many will doubt):

0xPolygon will emerge as one of the most popular EVM chains for mainstream stablecoin integrations🤯

Four mind-blowing data trends in 2024 (WTF at the last one) that hint at explosive growth in mainstream… pic.twitter.com/NIrN3OSsXn

The future of Polygon PoS is aggregated

Early last year, the community began discussing a proposal for connecting Polygon PoS to the Agglayer using SP1, the general purpose zkVM built by Succinct Labs with Plonky3 under the hood.

Connection through the Agglayer means all dApps on Polygon PoS also tap into the liquidity and user bases of every other connected chain.

As the number of chains grows, so will the arena in which dApps on Polygon PoS—and beyond—can reach escape velocity.

2024 was a stepping stone; 2025 is the year of aggregation.
