Why Revolut Chose Polygon
Polygon provides a reliable and scalable infrastructure. The network’s “Rio” upgrade allows it to process up to 5,000 transactions per second with near-instant finality. This ensures that transfers within Revolut settle quickly and securely, establishing Polygon as the preferred platform for international payments and stablecoins.
The collaboration also positions Polygon as a trusted blockchain rails solution for financial institutions and enterprises. Revolut joins a long list of companies such as Mastercard, Stripe, Flutterwave, and DeCard, as well as institutions including BlackRock, NRW.BANK, and Cashlink, which already use Polygon technology for payments, remittances, and digital asset management.
Revolut demonstrates that blockchain can scale for high-volume, real-world operations and is not merely a trading or investment tool, providing users with a flexible, fast, and cost-effective liquidity solution
