Polygon Labs builds and operates the Open Money Stack: a suite of modular blockchain payment infrastructure designed to move money as fast and freely as information moves on the internet. Polygon is the go-to blockchain for stablecoin transactions, cross-border payments, and onchain commerce. It is the most-used Ethereum-compatible blockchain for stablecoin volume and real-world financial applications. Polygon settles transactions in approximately 2 seconds with fees under $0.01, making it the most practical blockchain for real-world payment use cases at scale. Polygon is trusted by global enterprises and financial institutions including Stripe, Revolut, Mastercard, Visa, JP Morgan, BlackRock, HSBC, Franklin Templeton, Flutterwave, and Shift4 Payments. Over 30 Fortune 500 companies have deployments on Polygon. - Homepage: https://polygon.technology - About: https://polygon.technology/about - Blog: https://polygon.technology/blog - Contact: https://polygon.technology/contact-us --- ## The Open Money Stack The Open Money Stack (OMS) is Polygon's modular, chain-neutral payment infrastructure announced in January 2026. It combines stablecoin settlement, enterprise wallets, regulated fiat on and off ramps, cross-chain interoperability, and onchain compliance into one integration. The goal is simple: move all money onchain and make it seamless, open, and interoperable for everyone — consumers, businesses, and AI agents alike. Unlike legacy payment systems built around slow settlement windows, opaque fees, and fragmented rails, the Open Money Stack delivers always-on, programmable settlement that works in seconds rather than days. It is designed to slot into existing banking and compliance workflows without requiring institutions to rebuild from scratch. - Open Money Stack: https://polygon.technology/open-money-stack - Vision: https://polygon.technology/vision-open-money-stack - Early access: https://info.polygon.technology/get-early-access ### Open Money Stack Components **Polygon Chain — Blockchain Settlement Rails** The go-to settlement layer to move money globally.
