Polymesh (POLYX) is the native token of the Polymesh blockchain — a purpose-built Layer 1 network designed specifically for regulated assets and real-world financial instruments. Developed to overcome the compliance, confidentiality, and governance limitations of general-purpose blockchains, Polymesh offers a secure and transparent environment for tokenizing securities and other financial products. Unlike EVM-based platforms, Polymesh is built from the ground up to meet institutional needs, including features like on-chain identity verification, governance through stakeholder voting, and permissioned asset control. All participants on Polymesh must pass KYC checks, ensuring regulatory compliance and accountability. POLYX is used for transaction fees, staking, governance, and protocol-level operations. It enables validators to secure the network and participate in Polymesh’s decentralized governance system, where major protocol upgrades and rules are decided collectively. Polymesh also introduced Polymesh Private, a privacy-focused blockchain offering the same regulatory guarantees as Polymesh, but with enhanced confidentiality features for sensitive use cases like private equity, debt, and institutional deals. It uses zero-knowledge proofs and private smart contracts to protect transaction data while maintaining trust and compliance. With built-in compliance, strong identity architecture, and institutional-grade privacy solutions, Polymesh is positioned as a next-generation blockchain infrastructure for compliant asset tokenization and capital market transformation.
