🇪🇺 Europe’s capital markets are moving onchain with RWA tokenization on @0xPolygon. - Spain’s first regulated security token offering (STO) via @Betoken_io - €100M blockchain bond in Germany led by @DeutscheBank, @DekaBank and @dzbank Read more👇

Want to stay informed on all the @0xPolygon wins and ecosystem updates? I often get asked how do I stay up to speed on Polygon? The @Token_Relations Polygon newsletter does an amazing job of aggregating our progress on a weekly basis. For instance on how we onboarded over $100M in net new RWAs this week. Our BD team is on fire right now, and this is a great way to stay up to speed with us. Shipping 🛳️and closing 🤝szn is here folks.

Btw: @hamilton_lane started tokenizing private credit in 2023. One year later: $9.6M compounding quietly on @0xPolygon.

I'm truly so excited about the changes we're making for Polygon and I hope others feel it too. We've been razor-focused on shaping Polygon PoS to be the defacto home of payments and RWAs, with recent upgrades creating better UX for users and developers (increasing TPS + faster finality + updating core infra) + continuing to develop Polygon's Agglayer ecosystem and incubate high-value projects through the Agglayer Breakout program (which includes airdrops to POL stakers) We're making improvements across the entire network to strengthen the entire Polygon ecosystem and deliver greater value to POL stakers. The shipping spree has just started, and it won't end anytime soon. Next up, we'll be shipping one more way to give back to the community who has been long-time supporters of Polygon on socials 🔜🚢

If you’re building onchain payments on Polygon, you’re building where the liquidity, users, and integrations already live.

There’s no alternative. @Polymarket is returning to 🇺🇸

The internet has a major verification problem. Arktouros’ Jane Khodarkovsky & I wrote an op-ed for @thehill about the lack of secure solutions protecting users in today’s digital era & the power of ZKPs to solve this: Really proud of the work our team is doing at @SelfProtocol here with its leading zkPoH infrastructure, which Google a.o. is integrating for AI & Web3 innovation, announced today! Keep reading for why this matters 👇 Today, two main options exist for age verification: a. Checking a box to verify you're above 18, which cannot stop children from accessing dangerous content b. Uploading your ID, sharing your private information with a third party that can be hacked or breached Neither option is sufficient in protecting children, their families, and their data. As regulation around age restrictions progresses, we need a stronger solution. We need ZK. This is why Self Protocol exists: verifying identity without compromising your privacy We launched proof-of-humanity protocol Self earlier this year for web2 & web3 apps to verify humanity + unique attributes without compromising sensitive information. Self is already trusted by @get_para, @velodrome, @farcaster_xyz, @TalentProtocol and, as announced today, @googlecloud It's rewarding to see industry leaders like Google recognize the potential of ZK-powered infrastructure for identity and proof-of-humanity verification. This momentum is just beginning as the AI race heats up, and identity becomes more relevant than ever (cf. @vitalikbuterin’s recent post on this Bots and deepfakes are taking over the internet, requiring more proof-of-humanity checkpoints than ever. It’s no longer a question, but a required security measure, for which ZK will be the only answer Expect to see more major players join the ZK movement in the coming months, driven by regulation, but also a real desire to protect users. Let’s continue to work together as an industry and drive a safer, more prosperous internet for real humans everywhere.
