Stablecoins are all about access and inclusion.
Here’s my take on why this all matters and what I'm looking forward to in 2026👇
medium.com/@samhf718/stablec…
@0xPolygon we have an incredible year ahead of us! Let's make history.
Payments have issues. We’re fixing them.
Let’s meet next week @money2020! Feel free to dm me.
PS - @DianaChimes made me do it
Plaid connects agents to accounts. The open question is what stops an agent from spending money it shouldn't once it's connected.
A weekend project on that open question: xitter.cf/Sam_H_F/status/2109404…
Vibe-coded @getwaysafe an authorization layer for AI agents that spend money. Then had two adversarial reviews try to break it.
18 security bugs. Fixed every one, tested first.
3 attempts to spend with a stolen agent key. All rejected on-chain.
waysafe.ai/proof
What Waysafe does when that charge shows up: records it, counts it against the agent's spending limit, flags it with the decision it would have made, and gives the owner the evidence to dispute it.
What can be next: freeze the card automatically after a flagged charge.
Built it with Claude Code (@AnthropicAI), then ran Codex against it adversarially. Keys aren't in KMS yet and the chain is a testnet, so not production. Open source, Apache 2.0.
Threat model, with diagrams: waysafe.ai/docs/concepts
Don't fight network effects - build on them and leverage them.
Across emerging markets, USDT on @trondao is already how people get paid, pay rent, run a business.
Our view: a dollar should be a dollar on any network. PSPs already route across hundreds of payment methods. Stablecoins should be the same.
Polygon OMS abstracts the chain away. Pay and collect, send and pay out, on whatever rail your customers actually use. One stack, one provider for all onchain money movement.
BREAKING: @trondao is now live on Polygon OMS.
Move, program and store stablecoins anywhere on Earth.
The full money flow, now on TRON.
Stablecoin payments for ecomm used to add friction.
Customers hold stablecoins and merchants want their local fiat currency. Polygon OMS bridges the two inside the same exact checkout experience you already run.
No new UX. No behavior change. Give users the choice. More ways to get paid!
BIG UPDATE: 100M POL ready to be permanently BURNED.
Polygon is printing revenue. $24.5m YTD. We are deploying a change that lets anyone in the community trigger its burn.
2026YTD Revenue
Super happy about $NEAR and $ARB getting much deserved love, but in terms of revenue, my analyst at ChatGPT says:
ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 : 24.5mn
$ARB : $8.41m (Includes the trailblazing Robinhood chain)
$NEAR : $5.6m (Includes the now legendary Near Intents)
ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 is 3x revenue of $ARB, 5x of $NEAR.
I hope the market gods will shower their smiles on ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 community too someday.
BTW huge kudos and love to both @NEARProtocol and @arbitrum teams and communities (Forgive me for this bad cope on ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 missing out of the rally till now 😥😥)
Anyways, the contracts are on testnet, after the final Security Council signatures, they go to mainnet.
Then anyone can trigger the first burn, permanently burning the 100M POL instantly. Post that every quarter, anyone from the community would be able to burn ethereum:0x455e53cbb86018ac2b8092fdcd39d8444affc3f6 from the supply
Since January 2026, POL has been deflationary and the network is still getting hammered with activity…payments, trades, consumer apps, everything. We have scaled 10x to 5k TPS and multiple earth shattering updates are coming on the TPS front.
Every base fee adds POL to the collector. it has reached 121M POL. It's your time to burn 100M! 🔥
Every payment rail thats scaled did it through a shared data standard. ACH transaction codes. SWIFT messages. MCCs.
Onchain payments are next. Wrote about what that layer can look like here:

This is what blockchain technology was built for.
Dollar access. Expanding a system that has worked for a few markets, to all markets.
Why Polygon and Solana? Global distro, utility. Solve the last mile - you need to be able to turn a stablecoin into local currency seamlessly.
The future of marketplace commerce is on Polygon.
@Meta launched stablecoin payouts for creators on the Polygon Chain.
Live in Colombia and the Philippines, with 160+ markets coming, users now get faster settlement with USDC while gaining access to dollar denominated assets.
Amazing to see Polygon added to Visa's stablecoin settlement program today.
A natural step as stablecoins move into mainstream payment flows.
Soon the blockchain disappears - you won't know it's a stablecoin, you'll just know your money moved and settled instantly.
We're just getting started.
Had a great time speaking on behalf of @0xPolygon yesterday at The Stablecoin Trust Forum 2026. Thank you @Mastercard @MerkleScience @wirexapp @notabene_id for hosting!
