TRON × Polygon🌐
An era where rivals join forces🔥
~From blockchain competition to collaboration~
On 10/7, Polygon's payment infrastructure
"Open Money Stack (OMS)"
announced support for TRON!
This news is more than just a technical connection
I think this has an interesting significance👀
Let's take a closer look👇
1. What is Polygon OMS?
connecting banks and blockchain
is a payment infrastructure for businesses.
With this support for TRON
✅Deposit funds from banks, cards, etc.
✅Exchange between fiat currency and USDT on TRON
✅Manage assets in a wallet on TRON
✅Move funds to other chains
✅Withdraw funds to bank accounts, etc.
a series of steps such as
can be handled through a single system.
2. Why TRON?
TRON already has
More than $94 billion worth of USDT is in circulation.
For Polygon as well,
this massive USDT liquidity and
can be connected.
the history of companies using TRON so far
To provide payment services,
such as bank connectivity and wallet management
had to be built out separately.
OMS reduces that complexity
make it easier for companies to adopt TRON
can be described as a system.
3. Is this the first time rivals have collaborated?
There is actually precedent.
In 2023, Polygon Labs and NEAR Foundation
the zero-knowledge proof technology “zkWASM”
announced a joint research initiative.
Furthermore, in 2020, through Wormhole,
connecting Solana and Ethereum
efforts are also underway.
In other words, cooperation between different chains itself
is by no means the first time.
However, what I want to highlight this time is
the purpose of cooperation shifts from “technical connectivity”
to “real financial services.”
is expanding.
TRON and Polygon both
and gaining a strong presence in stablecoin payments,
are competing for users and funds.
with both sides leveraging their respective strengths,
financial infrastructure that includes bank payment networks
I believe there is value in being connected.
4. The future Justin Sun envisions
At TOKEN2049, Justin Sun
using TRON without people even realizing it
they expressed the vision of making it infrastructure.
When using the internet,
just as we don't think about communication technologies,
blockchains will eventually
without having to think about which type it is
a world where people can make transfers and payments.
📝Summary
What I personally took away from this news is
the blockchain industry
means that it is beginning to enter a new phase.
Until now, each chain
how to attract users and liquidity
was at the center of competition.
However, for it to become widespread in society,
cooperation between different networks is also necessary.
rather than locking users into their own network,
By connecting with other chains,
while increasing its own value.
This idea is similar to how the internet
overlaps with its history of development.
TRON's massive USDT liquidity
This move to connect with other financial infrastructure
blockchains can evolve from competing technologies
into financial infrastructure that supports society as a whole
feels like a symbolic step in its evolution 🧑🏫
