On August 24, Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon, announced that in response to strong community demand, the team is advancing the Polygon staking and token economics reform proposal and shared some preview content. The Polygon PoS plan will introduce a native staking mechanism similar to L1, running in parallel with Ethereum staking; priority fees generated from each transaction will be allocated to POL stakers, a mechanism previously approved in PIP-85. POL staking yields are expected to nearly double, with additional earnings primarily coming from actual network fees rather than token inflation. Staking POL will provide greater rewards to incentivize more users to stake POL, including gas fee discounts, and promote the use of liquid staking tokens (sPOL) in DeFi. Nailwal also stated that Polygon's revenue has grown tenfold this year, achieving 5000 TPS, reducing block time by 25%, and is working to reduce block time to under one second. Polygon Labs will be responsible for the related code development and will submit it for community forum approval.
