POL

Buddy_Palguy

I haven’t even tried to look at the charts last couple days. I won’t even look at them with a ten inch POL

BeebleBoxn

Won't even be able to buy an Iron with the direction Sandeep Nailwal took POL..

I fear POL could be definitely and irremediably dead, regardless this news

Here's mine. Maybe you can have a look at these coins/token: ADA, RISE, RYO, CHMB, POL

I'm currently hodling 637 POL worth $100 thanks to you guys sponsoring Distributions <3. Thank you Polygon Labs for your support of the community. Excited to be a zero cost basis long term POL hodler.

You're likely alluding to the Agglayer Breakout Program, where POL stakers can receive airdrops from Polygon incubated projects. ZisK was the most recent graduate of the program. One goal is provide value for POL holders & stakers (see Sandeep's recent X article), and that comes in many ways. It can be Polygon transaction fees, Agglayer interop fees, staking rewards, Agglayer Breakout Program airdrops, etc. For more info, you can check out this blog post, last updated October 17, 2025 -[https://polygon.technology/blog/pol-value-accrual-post-2-introducing-the-agglayer-breakout-program](https://polygon.technology/blog/pol-value-accrual-post-2-introducing-the-agglayer-breakout-program) We also published a "How to stake POL" article here - [https://polygon.technology/blog/how-do-i-stake-pol-the-token-for-polygon-and-agglayer](https://polygon.technology/blog/how-do-i-stake-pol-the-token-for-polygon-and-agglayer)

Sandeep actually recently posted an article on covering this exact topic, titled "Clearly Defining the Benefits of Holding POL" Check it out here - [https://x.com/sandeepnailwal/status/2009763000895344766](https://x.com/sandeepnailwal/status/2009763000895344766)

On fees: We don't have a full breakdown of exact real-time splits (e.g., Polymarket vs. institutional vs. other), as activity evolves rapidly with surges from prediction markets, stablecoin transfers, and payments growth. Polymarket has driven significant recent volume/fees, but institutional/stablecoin flows (now at record highs) are scaling fast via our payments focus.  For POL holders/stakers: fees accrue network-wide (burns + rewards), and diversification via payments adoption reduces reliance on any single app.  For a good breakdown on the benefits of holding POL, Sandeep recently published an article on X that gives a lot of great information - [https://x.com/sandeepnailwal/status/2009763000895344766?s=20](https://x.com/sandeepnailwal/status/2009763000895344766?s=20)

SevereArrivals13

Thanks for the AMA My main question is where is the POL token going towards, and can you tell us why it's a good long-term hold in your opinion?

No_Sorbet556

Can you give a breakdown in how many fees are generated by Polymarket v how much is institutional payments v other? As a POL holder/staker, I wonder what happens if Polymarket chooses another chain or builds there own L2

Add POL/Matic also

I don't know why POL is pumping, but if my matic bags can finally break even again, I'm so ready to get off this rollercoaster

POL is killing it after being dead forever

002_timmy

Now that I got my joke out of the way, I can give a genuine answer. I’m a firm believer that “holding” any asset (besides Bitcoin and broad market ETFs) is a bad idea. I learned this lesson with altcoins pretty early on. However, I think alt coins can be majorly profitable when put to work. I stake POL, which on top of the native yield, qualifies me for airdrops (katana, Miden, billions, etc). With liquid native stake shares coming, I’ll be able to earn more with having these in DeFi. I also choose validators that give extra incentives so that also adds to my return. For my Algorand bag, instead of native staking, I use Folks Finance for their boosted governance token and loop it on their platform. This get me above-market yield natively on Algorand, and also earned me Folks points. For every $1000 I had in Algorand, I’ve earned ~$1300 through staking and Folks. Less than I would have in bitcoin, but it’s also not a huge loss and a super high upside play. My Cardano bag was down big. Some losses were mitigated through airdrops and claims from staking with certain delegates, but it wasn’t worth the time. I ended up selling my entire bag for Kaito tokens for a loss. On the subject of Kaito, I’ve already made back my initial investment through airdrops for being a part of the Kaito ecosystem. I also earned a decent airdrop from Kaito initially. The token is down 30% from my average basis, but I’ve way more through airdrops. Currently, I’m going heavily into PT-sKAITO on Pendle, which pays 40% + yields as more people speculate on future airdrops. I also hold $BARD. Lombard TGE’d earlier this year. I held because I believe bitcoin staking will accelerate. People will want to earn yield on their bitcoin as more TradFi comes to the space. I immediately staked my Lombard tokens. That staking has offset the slight price dip post-TGE. However, the kicker is I’m earning Mellow & symbiotic points for staking. For every $1000 I had at TGE, the value is $940, plus the pre-TGE points. Bear case expectations for those points puts my return puts my return at ~$1020 since the TGE in September, which is outperforming Bitcoin and the broader market. If I can’t earn 20-30% on my alts or use them on pre-TGE platforms for points farming, I’ve learned to sell them. I’m not married to any of my alts, but I do want exposure in case we get an alt season, and while the haven’t outperformed Bitcoin for me, they have outperformed the S&P 500.

Hopefully POL gets the valuation it deserves. Polygon has top-tier infrastructure, and I’m very bullish on it. Fingers crossed!

tldr; Polygon Labs has announced the Open Money Stack, a new stablecoin payment framework aimed at enabling instant and reliable money transfers across the $162 billion DeFi ecosystem. This initiative seeks to eliminate reliance on traditional financial intermediaries and enhance blockchain functionality. The POL token, used for transaction fees on the network, has risen 13% following the announcement. The framework is designed to work across blockchains, offering features like stablecoin interoperability, compliance, and yield-earning options for users. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

ozera202

Have you seen how far it’s dropped, my biggest bag was POL/Matic but I cut my losses and moved on , bag holders probably trying to pump it as much as they can before dumping it to make up for the losses.

sharkhuh

Anyone know why POL is pumping? Return of MATIC glory?

focal78

POL is breaking out Since the Open Money Stack unveiling yesterday, we’re seeing a major fundamental shift: Price Action: POL surged +17% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.15 as it clears key resistance levels. Burn Velocity: The network is in an S-curve moment. Daily fee burns have hit a record 3M POL Institutional Pivot: Yesterday's launch of the Open Money Stack positions Polygon as the primary "Payment Engine" for stablecoins, already integrating with giants like Revolut and Stripe. Momentum: The Supertrend flipped green for the first time since August. Analysts are now eyeing a $0.20 target (+52% upside potential).

haven't seen POL so strong in a very long time

Elendron

I think it's been hammered so hard that it's currently giving a good counter-trend rally. POL/BTC looks particularly snazzy rn, bouncing off the bottom from the mega 10 October wick. Obviously it all needs to be taken into context that POL/BTC and POL/fiat has been overall bleeding into the depths of hell for years, but doesn't mean you can't find some lovely counter-trend rallies when they present themselves.

MountainGrape6816

Just dumped losers ADA, DOT, ALGO, AAVE, ATOM, MANA. Needed some long term (since 2021) writeoffs for 2025 tax purposes to offset other gains. I held these way too long, because there was a lot of "don't be a paper-hands" bullying going on. Still holding POL/MATIC, LINK, AVAX, for now. These seem to still have at least some activity. They'll go in case i need more writeoffs in 2026, or if they make any kind of a comeback. But to be honest i don't have much interest in Alts any more. Anything i do, like ZCASH, will be relatively short term and I'll be quick to take profits and cut losses. I don't need any more skeletons in the closet

Optimal-Battle-9803

BTC and ETH - 80-90% LINK/POL/SUI etc - 10% or basically amount which you wouldn't care even if it went 0 Just my personal opinion:)

MountainGrape6816

Just pulled the plug on some long term losers (to offset other gains): ADA DOT ALGO ATOM MANA SHIB Other candidates on the chopping block (some may go before the new years ball drops) POL/MATIC LINK AVAX

Patient-Process-2565

POL, Polkadot and ATOM. They were hyped last cycle and they were all going to revolutionise the world. 4 years on, all 3 are dying and slowly falling down the ranks, all are scams and only the founders and insiders made profits, retail have been crushed, wrecked and destroyed

Logical_Lemming

I haven't used Base wallet specifically, but I'm guessing it works like all the rest: 1. Go to [opensea.io](http://opensea.io) in your wallet's browser. 2. Connect your wallet, sign the sign-in message. 3. Find your Profile page. 4. Find the avatar you want to send (might have to check the "hidden" category if you don't see it). 5. Click send, enter your vault address, DOUBLE AND TRIPLE CHECK THE ADDRESS, review and sign the transaction. You'll need a tiny amount of POL (like 0.014 POL) in your Base wallet on Polygon network to pay the gas fee.

MariachiArchery

Speculating for sure, I hold VET and POL. I thought they had potential for sure. I took a risk. *However*, against my BTC and ETH bags, they were less than 1% of my crypto portfolio. Against my IRL portfolio, *way* less. Literal moonshots. Unfortunately for OP, this looks to be everything. $28,000 into IOTA is wild with an $88k net worth. What I've learned from this sub over the years (since like 2017), is that unless we are talking about ETH or BTC, we are talking about literal penny stocks. Remember Waltonchain? Shit, this sub shilled fucking Bitconnect and Luna/Terra Labs. Yeah, when I see this sub get all bricked up about a project, it's a pretty good bet the only thing it's got going is hype.

MariachiArchery

Yup. Especially VET, POL, and DOT. There were months and months were these projects were on the front page every single day.

Reasonable-Opening77

The issue with your portfolio is that many (or all) of these tokens likely won’t reach new ATHs in the next bull run, since market sentiment seems to be consolidating around a small handful of names. It absolutely sucks (and is antithetical to the original intention of crypto), but look at what Wall Street is saying, not a bunch of random YouTubers whose main source of revenue is ads. I'm speaking from experience...I lost a TON after the bubble burst last time, but then I consolidated into a couple names, and did quite well this time. MATIC / Polygon / POL (lol), for example, was a total dud, and I don’t think it ever reached its ATH this cycle. If your portfolio was BTC, ETH, SOL, and maybe BNB, I’d recommend holding. Answer is A.

StonklordBenno

My bags are in ADA SOL DOT AVAX MANA SAND POL

noviwu97

Everyone said Top 10 or 20 alts were safe. DOT was #5 at one point and it's down 95%. POL was #11 at peak and it's also down 95%+

I'm not that active in arbitrum since I only bridge the earned POL here to buy moons and stake them on teller, but 'll register anyway, just in case...

Hey, op, these dumbasses have a point. Be careful out there, but Squid is legit. Take now though, it will probably say the estimated time is "about an hour" when swapping BTC. That's because of BTC block times. Try swapping AVAX for POL or something like that, and it's a couple seconds. Don't let the ignorant scare you off. It's exactly what you're looking for, but DYOR

Pro tip- swap it to MATICX, which is a liquid staking token, and qualify for airdrops. Another pro tip- send POL on PoS to a CEX and then withdraw to Ethereum mainnet. Basically the CEX becomes your bridge. However, mainnet fees are really really cheap right now. I recently bridged and staked for under $3 in gas fees

DBRiMatt

Thanks. Once I have sufficient POL, I'll bridge it over to Mainnet and add it to stake!

Before investing any notable sum into these markets, try things out yourself first of all. Try making 20 dollars out of 10 dollars for example, and see how that works out. Those are little sums that don't hurt, but they give you realistic and reasonable expectations. Unlike those people who tell you that this and that coin is going to pump hundreds of percent lol. (Spoiler: no one actually knows) With that said, do NOT enter this market immediately without a bit of firsthand experience, even if you think you're gonna miss the boat if you don't invest now - trust me, you won't and there will always be opportunities since crypto and especially altcoins regularly go through heavy dips. Also, don't listen YouTube videos or posts on X, or even reddit as i mentioned. The vast, vast majority of people post on social media to either shill you their altcoin or to get attention. 99% of them are NOT here because they know something and want to share it, always keep this in mind. Check the legitimacy of people's claims, check their track record etc and if you can't find any proof of them actually being profitable themselves, disregard them. There are legitimate people and sources out there of course, but they're the minority. But that shouldn't be your main focus anyways. Figure out things yourself by trial and error first of all. This is the only way to actually see how this market moves. Whenever you see some kind of strategy on the internet (including here), always try it yourself with very small sums first. All of this will take a lot of time, but if you don't want to be burned hard and if you don't know how to handle being 50% underwater for example, don't put serious money into crypto. Try everything to eliminate feelings and emotions. Make a solid plan beforehand, that includes an invalidation. Know when you're wrong on an investment and cut losses when that invalidation is reached. Define levels where you want to take profits and follow through with that. ALWAYS know what to buy, where to buy it and for what reason. Know where youre wrong, know where you want to take profits BEFORE buying anything. Never buy when price is rising quickly, never ever get fomo and always look to buy during bigger drops. That's the only certainty I can give you, drops will always come at some point and they're here to be taken advantage of. And again, be very very and extremely careful with crypto influencers and that kind of stuff. Most of them are here to make money themselves, not to make you money. Do not fall for their stories as to why this coin is the future or whatever, because they really and actually don't know more than you. Always go into these topics with a certain level of skepticism, including my post here. Develop an approach that works for you first and foremost, ideally based on data and probabilities. And again yes, this will take a lot of time and effort, but if you don't want to be part of the 95% constantly losing money, then that's the route you'll have to go. :) Also regarding your altcoin portfolio: Be aware of the fact that pretty much every altcoin isn't really made for the long-term, most of them go through 90%+ drops at some point and that makes it really difficult to be profitable by just holding them. Just look at the price history of Solana for example. Dropped 97% during the 2022 bear market. And this is one of the very, very few exceptions that managed to make new all time highs after such a huge drop. Most of them never recover from that, very important fact to be aware of. And those drops will happen at some point and you have to always be ready for this. Again, in my opinion, you should never really invest longterm into altcoins for that reason. They're made for the shorter term. They can rise quickly but they will also drop again just as quickly. Don't hold onto a specific altcoin for dear life as most of them historically became pretty much worthless after a few years. Again, there are exceptions but generally you can say that most of them pretty much die off after their 90%+ drop. Just look at DOT, ATOM, ICP, POL (formerly MATIC if you ever heard of it), ADA (Cardano), VET etc etc. This is what you're gonna have to deal with when investing into altcoins. For actual investments, it's better to stay in Bitcoin since it's the only coin with a proven track record. You know that it's likely going to move higher in the longer term. Maybe you can also include Ethereum, but other than that, no coin has proven itself as a true investment so far. Sure it's a lot more boring and all that but be aware with what you're dealing with when diving into these other coins. ;) Good luck out there.

MaeronTargaryen

It’s a new method of distribution, because of the fact that distributions now come from advertising rather than the Moons amassed in TMD wallet during the Reddit distributions days. This way distributions won’t run out. Basically it’s spread over 12 months. So if 12,000 moons were sent to the distribution wallet, 1,000 moons would be distributed every month for the year after that. It’s low for now because this method just started but in a few months you’ll have let’s say 5,000 moons from October funds, 4,400 from November, 7,000 from December, 5,300 from January, etc. Distributions will hopefully be higher than before soon. And for now we have POL making the distributions much higher than before in $ value

002_timmy

This is insanely bullish for Polygon. Lately the project has been crushing the metrics they are going after. POL itself hasn’t moved much, but I think that’s more of the macro and if there’s ever a proper alt season…. We’ll see what happens
