Polygon
A chain with its own x402 facilitator that briefly carried most of the real, non-gamed x402 transactions in January 2026.
Checked 11 October
Our view
On 4pillars’ reading of Artemis data, 62% of real x402 transactions from 18 January to 01-31 ran on Polygon, and Coinbase’s facilitator added Polygon in March 2026. No share figure has been published since April, when it ranked third behind Base and Solana. The research did not score rivals; these labels are the site’s reading of the dated evidence.
