The network also introduced shielded stablecoin transfers and compliance checks. Polygon aims to increase its theoretical throughput to 3,260 transactions per second and plans further block time reductions. Businesses require privacy for financial activities, and Polygon is expanding stablecoin infrastructure for institutions.
