Polygon Strengthens Its Lead in Enterprise-Scale Web3 Payments
Polygon strengthens its position in global onchain finance as Mastercard and Revolut adopt its fast, low cost rails for real world payments and institutional scale activity.
The rapid evolution of global payments is becoming more visible as Mastercard and Revolut deploy real-world solutions on Polygon. Mastercard’s new credential system brings verified, username-based transfers to self-custody wallets, eliminating the complexity of long addresses.
Meanwhile, Revolut users have already moved more than $690 million over Polygon’s stablecoin rails, proving that mainstream consumers are willing to adopt onchain transfers when they are simple and inexpensive. Together, these initiatives demonstrate how Polygon is emerging as a scalable, enterprise-ready blockchain capable of supporting everyday financial activity across borders.

Mastercard’s Username-Based Transfers
Mastercard has rolled out a simplified and secure method for onchain payments through Mastercard Crypto Credential, enabling verified username-based transfers for self-custody wallets. Instead of copying long wallet addresses, users go through a one-time verification, receive a credential-linked username, and then transact instantly.
