@0xPolygon has officially surpassed 8,200,006,683 lifetime transactions, keeping it firmly among the leading-volume networks in the EVM ecosystem. The figure, tracked by @Chainspect, reflects sustained activity across Polygon's proof-of-stake chain and its zero-knowledge rollup infrastructure.
The throughput is not incidental. Polygon processed $79.25 billion in stablecoin volume in May 2026 alone, leading all blockchains in transaction count with 198 million USD stablecoin transfers. That momentum carried into the broader quarter: Polygon PoS closed Q2 2026 with 743 million transactions, an all-time record for the network and a 160% increase from the same period a year earlier.
The economics help explain the adoption. Each transaction is reportedly settled within seconds at an average fee of just $0.002, positioning Polygon as a top contender among crypto settlement layers.Gas fees on Polygon are 426 times cheaper than Ethereum and four times cheaper than Solana for stablecoin transfers.
Enterprise use is adding meaningful weight to those numbers. Visa added Polygon to its global stablecoin settlement pilot in April, a program that has reached a $7 billion annualized run rate. Meanwhile, Revolut, Europe's largest digital bank with over 65 million customers worldwide, surpassed $1.2 billion in cumulative transaction volume on Polygon.
Polygon saw a 460 million increase in cumulative transactions since last summer, representing the fastest usage growth in the platform's history, with Q2 2026 data showing a 160% year-over-year increase.The network's cumulative stablecoin transfer volume has now surpassed $2.4 trillion.
The network is processing around 7.5 million transactions per day, with daily active addresses near 554,000.In May, Polygon ranked first across the entire blockchain ecosystem by stablecoin transaction count, surpassing competitors such as Solana and BNB Chain.
Whether the usage surge eventually feeds through to $POL's market valuation remains an open question, but on raw activity metrics, the network's position in the EVM landscape is difficult to dispute.
