Polygon deploys Madhugiri hard fork, aims for 33% throughput boost

Blockchain network Polygon has launched its Madhugiri hard fork, targeting a 33% increase in network throughput and reducing block consensus time to one second. Core developer Krishang Shah confirmed the update incorporates support for three Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP-7823, EIP-7825, and EIP-7883) from the Fusaka upgrade, which enhance the efficiency and security of heavy mathematical operations by limiting gas consumption. The upgrade also introduces a new transaction type for Ethereum to Polygon bridge traffic and adds flexibility for future updates. This performance boost is intended to reinforce Polygon's infrastructure for high-frequency use cases like stablecoin deployment and Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. This follows the recent Heimdall 2.0 upgrade, which had previously reduced finality times, despite a temporary disruption caused by a bug shortly thereafter.
