Important recent news about POL:
1️⃣ Record-high transaction fee burns, significant deflationary effects
The Polygon PoS network’s daily fee burn has hit a new record, destroying 3 million POL tokens within 24 hours, accounting for 0.03% of the total supply. Over the past 3 to 4 days, an average of 1 million POL has been burned daily as base fees. If this trend continues throughout the year, approximately 3.5% of the total POL supply will be burned, creating a strong deflationary mechanism that helps increase token scarcity and long-term value support.
2️⃣ Network activity continues to heat up, fee revenue accelerates
Fees generated on the Polygon chain are in the S-curve phase, showing an accelerating growth trend. The record-high fee burns reflect a significant increase in on-chain transaction demand, consistent with the network having processed over 5.3 billion transactions and more than 117 million unique addresses, indicating ongoing positive ecosystem activity.
3️⃣ Staking ecosystem remains robust, institutional confidence supports value foundation
Currently, 3.6 billion POL are staked, with stakers and validators earning approximately 1.5% POL rewards. A healthy staking ecosystem locks in circulating supply, strengthening network security. Meanwhile, the Polygon Foundation CEO stated that 2026 will be the year of POL revival, demonstrating strong confidence from the ecosystem in the project’s future development.
