The Polygon ecosystem has performed outstandingly over the past six months, with total revenue exceeding $1.7 million and the destruction of over 12.5 million POL tokens. This is mainly due to Polymarket's new fee model for prediction markets, reflecting real demand at the application layer, driving the positive development of the ecosystem economic model, and actively accumulating ecosystem value.

【BitPush】The Polygon ecosystem has been quite active over the past six months. According to Castle Labs, since the beginning of this year, the entire protocol’s cumulative revenue has exceeded $1.7 million, and over 12.5 million POL tokens have been burned, worth approximately $1.5 million.

What is driving this growth? Mainly, Polymarket’s prediction market has recently launched a 15-minute fee model. To put it more straightforwardly, in the past 24 hours alone, Polymarket has contributed over $100,000 in fees to Polygon. This reflects the real demand at the application layer supporting the ecosystem’s economic model—each transaction fee is absorbed by the protocol and then reflected through the burn mechanism.

From a certain perspective, this indicates that Polygon is no longer just a “cost-effective solution,” but is truly accumulating its own ecosystem value. The virtuous cycle of fee income and token burns is becoming the foundation of this chain.
