Polygon PoS

Top coin — the largest coin's share of this chain's stablecoin supply. HHI — Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, the sum of squared percentage shares on a 0–10,000 scale, the same definition published for the market-wide concentration series. Both are computed over every coin with supply on the chain, not only those listed below. A chain's concentration measure describes only its stablecoin mix. It does not indicate the security of the chain or the soundness of the issuers represented on it.

Coins with at least $1M of supply on this chain, ranked by that supply. 25 further coins hold smaller balances here and are counted in the concentration figures above but not listed.

Frequently asked questions

Is Polygon PoS EVM-compatible?

Yes, Polygon PoS is EVM-compatible, meaning Ethereum tools and wallets work natively.

What is Polygon PoS built on?

Polygon PoS is a sidechain: it runs its own validator set and consensus, separate from Ethereum, and connects to Ethereum through a bridge. Fees and speed are set by Polygon PoS’s own network; so is its security.
