what's Polymesh?

Polymesh is a permissioned blockchain purpose-built for the issuance, trading, and settlement of regulated financial assets like security tokens. It incorporates compliance at the protocol level through features such as identity verification for participants, on-chain governance by asset issuers, and segregated asset handling to prevent unauthorized transfers. The network uses a Nominated Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism tailored for institutional use, ensuring high throughput and finality while maintaining regulatory standards. The native token POLYX powers the ecosystem by enabling staking for network security, governance participation through voting on chain upgrades, and fee payments for transactions and asset creation. Polymesh supports confidential transactions and scalable secondary markets, positioning it as infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in a compliant manner.

Polymesh reached $0.152B TVL, achieved +4.7% price growth, and security-token issuance surged in Q1 2026.
