MASTERCARD BRINGS HUMAN-READABLE WALLET ALIASES TO POLYGON

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Mastercard is extending its Crypto Credential program to self-custody wallets on Polygon, letting users link verified, human-readable aliases or soulbound tokens to their addresses via Mercuryo to reduce transfer errors and make crypto flows feel more like traditional payments. The move builds on Mastercard's broader Web3 push, including debit card partnerships with Kraken and MetaMask, plus a Chainlink-powered integration that lets billions of cardholders buy crypto directly onchain through partners like Swapper Finance and ZeroHash.
