Polygon is one of the largest Ethereum scaling ecosystems, known for lowering fees and improving throughput for consumer and enterprise applications. Polygon’s positioning often centers on payments, RWAs, and “enterprise-friendly” Web3 adoption–important SEO themes for Ethereum’s mainstream growth. DefiLlama’s chain metrics for Polygon track activity like TVL (~$756.7M) and stablecoin market cap (~$2.64B) on the network, which together indicate meaningful onchain settlement and liquidity. In ETH vs Solana comparisons, Polygon often competes on distribution, brand partnerships, and Ethereum alignment rather than raw TPS.
Key metrics: TVL ~ $756.7M; stablecoins ~ $2.64B (DefiLlama chain data).
