Polygon on-chain transaction fees exceed $1.7 million, Dandeli hard fork increases throughput to 20mgas/s

【ChainNews】Polygon’s recent performance is quite interesting. Since the beginning of this year, this chain has accumulated over $1.7 million in transaction fees and has burned more than 12.5 million POL tokens, worth about $1.5 million. What’s driving this behind the scenes? Mainly, the Polymarket 15-minute prediction market enabled a fee feature, which alone contributed over $100,000 in revenue to Polygon in just one day—this shows that application scenarios can indeed drive the value of the chain.

On the technical side, the launch of the Dandeli hard fork is also a significant progress. The chain’s throughput has directly increased to 20 mgas/s, effectively alleviating Gas pressure. For users, this means lower transaction costs and faster speeds, greatly improving the experience of ecological applications. From the surge in transaction fees to technical upgrades, Polygon’s move is akin to exerting effort from both demand and supply sides—on one hand, applications attract users; on the other, technical improvements enhance capacity. Only by combining these two aspects can true growth be achieved.
