What is Polygon?
A leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum with sub-cent transaction fees.
Polygon is one of the most popular blockchain scaling solutions, processing millions of transactions daily with fees as low as $0.001. It's widely used for stablecoin transfers, DeFi, and payment processing due to its speed, low cost, and Ethereum compatibility.
Polygon for Payments
Polygon is the most popular chain for USDT/USDC transfers due to its extremely low gas fees (~$0.001) and fast confirmation times (~2 seconds). Most crypto payment gateways, including Zateway, support Polygon as a primary payment chain.
USDT & USDC on Polygon
Both USDT and USDC are natively available on Polygon. The combined stablecoin TVL on Polygon exceeds $1.2 billion, making it one of the most liquid chains for stablecoin payments.
