Polygon payment channels hit 11 million updates per second across 25 hubs

Polygon has tested a new agent payment system that processed more than 11 million verified payment updates per second across 25 hubs while keeping final settlement anchored to Polygon Chain.  Polygon Labs said the benchmark used agent pay channels designed for software that pays for inference, data, API calls and other services as they are consumed, instead of sending every individual payment through an onchain transaction.  The system combines high frequency offchain payment updates with batched settlement on Polygon, allowing an agent to make repeated small payments while working through a task. Each update was confirmed by the payment engine in 20 microseconds, excluding network latency between the user and the hub.  Polygon payment channels separate payments from settlement  Agent pay channels begin with a payer depositing funds into a vendor agnostic channel contract on Polygon and binding a session key. The deposited amount determines how much the agent can spend during the session.  Once a service requests payment through x402, the agent sends signed cumulative vouchers through a hub as it consumes the service. The hub checks the signature, price, replay ID, authorization ceiling and remaining escrow before returning a receipt.  A valid receipt lets the provider release the next unit of work, which could

Trump Might Meet AI CEOs on September 29. Nobody Knows Who's Invited Yet

President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and tech CEOs will reportedly meet on artificial intelligence (AI) on September 29, according to the latest reports.   The meeting comes at a time when the AI safety debate has gained traction. Leading AI companies have warned of the technologys risks, while other industry leaders question calls to slow down.  Sponsored  Sponsored  Anthropics Call Meets a Cybersecurity Skeptic  Earlier this month, Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned, alleging that Anthropic and OpenAI were not acting responsibly. His colleague Evan Hubinger put the risk of AI killing all humans within a decade at more than 10%.  Days later, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay urging the industry to slow how fast AI capabilities improve. OpenAI‘s Sam Altman and SpaceX’s Elon Musk backed the call.  However, Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora questioned the motive. On X, he described the slowdown push as a stealthy commercial strategy. He later told CNBC he believed the labs wanted sympathy from regulators and a way around liability.  Arora now calls pacing unrealistic, arguing that some developers will keep building at the frontier.  “I think more than likely that some people will jump the gun, and you‘ll have still people developing at the frontier, which means we

The Ultra-Rich Fear Inflation Now. What Are They Buying?

Inflation now tops family offices‘ list of concerns, yet stocks remain their favorite destination for new capital. Some 46% raised public equity exposure over the past year, according to Citi Wealth’s 2026 Global Family Office Report.  The survey covered 351 family offices in 41 countries. For the next year, 37% expect to add developed-market equities, against 3% for digital assets.  Sponsored  Sponsored  Inflation Climbs the Worry List While Stocks Collect the Cash  Citis report shows 63% of respondents named inflation their top concern, up from 37% in 2025. Tariff worries, which led last year, fell to 18% from 60%.  Those concerns have not translated into equity selling. The survey shows only 12% of family offices cut public equity exposure in the past 12 months.  The net increase in public equity allocations was also 23 percentage points larger than in the 2025 survey. Over the next 12 months, only 5% of family offices plan to reduce their allocation to global developed equities.  Alexandre Monnier, head of family office advisory at Citi Wealth, told CNBC that allocations had not shifted as sharply as inflation fears.  “I think family offices are becoming more sophisticated and see risk management as something more active that allows you to stay invested during periods of uncertainty,

Bitcoin faces a new inflation test after diesel hits a nominal $6.53 record

US on-highway diesel climbed to $6.529 a gallon on Sept. 21, up 24.4 cents in a week, according to the Energy Information Administration. The rise raises a freight-cost inflation risk for Bitcoin investors watching how long interest rates stay elevated. Because EIA had called the lower Sept. 14 price a record in nominal dollars, the newer, higher reading marks another nominal high. The record describes the dollar price at the pump, without an inflation adjustment.

EIA data put US distillate stocks at 107.431 million barrels in the week ended Sept. 18, down from 107.859 million barrels a week earlier. The agency published the stock reading on Sept. 23. The inventory decline adds to evidence of constrained supply. EIA also identifies global distillate and crude markets as drivers of the price rise.  EIA attributes the recent diesel surge to tight global distillate supply and elevated crude prices. Diesel powers freight movement, and the agency says high prices can contribute to higher road and rail shipping costs. Whether companies pass those costs to customers, and how quickly,
