Polygon deploys Madhugiri hard fork, aims for 33% throughput boost
Polygon’s hard fork cuts consensus time to one second, supports Fusaka EIPs and lays the groundwork for stablecoin and RWA-focused scaling.
Blockchain network Polygon rolled out its latest protocol upgrade, known as the Madhugiri hard fork, which aims to achieve a 33% increase in network throughput and reduce block consensus time to one second.
Polygon core developer Krishang Shah said on X that the update includes support for three Fusaka Ethereum Improvement Proposals, specifically EIP-7823, EIP-7825 and EIP-7883. These EIPs make heavy mathematical operations more efficient and secure by limiting the amount of gas they consume.
They also prevent single transactions from consuming excessive computing power, helping the network run more smoothly and predictably.
