Grupo Braza, Brazil's largest foreign exchange bank, is bringing BBRL—their Brazilian real stablecoin—to Polygon.​

Key benefits:

  • Near-instant transfers with low fees
  • Access to Polygon's active stablecoin network
  • Connection between Brazilian real and global markets
  • Enables international payments, investments, and commerce

The move builds on existing momentum: Polygon already processes over 50,000 BRL-linked stablecoin transactions weekly, with onchain yield opportunities now available for Brazilian real holders.​

Polygon Launches Trails: Natural Language Interface for Cross-Chain Transactions

**Polygon introduces Trails**, a new tool that enables AI agents to execute blockchain transactions using natural language commands. **Key capabilities:** - Send tokens across networks with simple text instructions - Execute cross-chain swaps without manual coding - Query optimal routes for moving assets between chains **How it works:** Developers can integrate Trails into AI agents, allowing users to input commands like "Send 50 USDC on Polygon to 0xABC" or "What's the cheapest way to move 1000 USDC from Base to Polygon?" The system handles execution automatically. **Significance:** Trails removes technical barriers for blockchain interactions, making cross-chain operations accessible through conversational interfaces rather than complex smart contract calls.

Polygon Launches Trails MCP Server for Cross-Chain Agent Transactions

Polygon Launches Trails MCP Server for Cross-Chain Agent Transactions

Polygon has released **Trails MCP Server**, a tool that enables AI agents to execute transactions across 50+ blockchains through a single endpoint. **Key features:** - One-click cross-chain payments, swaps, and bridges - Secure integration with LLMs like Claude and Cursor - Automatic orchestration of multi-chain operations The server simplifies complex cross-chain interactions by providing AI models with a unified interface for blockchain transactions. Developers can add the functionality directly to their AI tools without managing multiple chain connections. This builds on Polygon's earlier work with OpenClaw and x402-powered payment gating for agentic applications. [Learn more about Trails](https://polygon.technology)

Polygon Burns 100M+ POL Tokens Through Network Activity

Polygon has reached a significant milestone with over **100 million POL tokens permanently burned** from circulation, driven entirely by actual network usage. **How the burn mechanism works:** - Every transaction on Polygon generates fees - Base fees are automatically burned (removed from supply) - Priority fees are distributed among validators, block producers, and stakers **The deflationary effect:** More network activity → higher transaction volume → more fees collected → more POL burned This burn mechanism creates natural deflationary pressure on POL's supply as the network scales. The milestone demonstrates real economic activity on Polygon rather than artificial token burns.

Polygon Burns 100 Million POL Tokens

**Major Token Burn Event** Polygon has permanently removed 100 million POL tokens from circulation through burning. This represents a significant supply reduction for the network's native token. **Key Details:** - 100,000,000 POL tokens burned and removed from total supply - Part of an ongoing burn program with milestone celebrations - Each milestone triggers a new commemorative "burn track" The burn mechanism reduces the total circulating supply of POL, potentially impacting token economics and scarcity.
