Polygon Integrates Solana into Open Money Stack for Enhanced Payment Solutions

Polygon Labs has announced the integration of Solana into its Open Money Stack (OMS), a platform designed to streamline payments by connecting traditional banking systems with cryptocurrency transactions. This integration, revealed on October 29, 2026, enables businesses to transfer funds from bank accounts to the Solana network, facilitating stablecoin transactions through a unified connection.

The Open Money Stack encompasses various functionalities, including fiat on-ramps and off-ramps, custodial wallets, compliance checks, and cross-chain routing. Prior to this integration, the service primarily focused on the Polygon chain. Now, with Solana included, developers can utilize a single API for stablecoin transactions, simplifying the process and eliminating the need for separate integrations for each blockchain.

One of the significant advantages of this integration is that it removes the necessity for businesses to pre-fund liquidity on Solana, which can tie up capital that could be used elsewhere. The OMS allows companies to convert funds from customer bank accounts into stablecoins without requiring customers to engage with complex wallet setups.

This move builds on Polygon's existing capabilities through its Polygon Trails tool, which has supported cross-chain transactions between Solana and over 20 Ethereum-compatible chains since August 2026. The integration also leverages regulatory groundwork established by Polygon's acquisition of Coinme, which provided money transmitter licenses across 48 U.S. states.

Early adopters of the Open Money Stack, such as Tazapay and Kira, are focusing on real-world applications like cross-border payments and payroll. The integration with Solana is expected to enhance these use cases by providing access to Solana's stablecoin ecosystem with minimal additional engineering effort.

While the integration presents a strategic advantage for both Polygon and Solana, questions remain regarding transaction volumes and pricing specifics, which have not been disclosed. Additionally, the security of cross-chain systems remains a critical consideration, as they have historically been targets for vulnerabilities.
