On August 24, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal announced that in response to strong community demand, the team is advancing a proposal for reforming Polygon's staking and token economics, sharing some preview content. The Polygon PoS plan will introduce a native staking mechanism similar to L1, operating in parallel with Ethereum staking; priority fees generated from each transaction will be allocated to POL stakers, a mechanism previously approved in PIP-85. The expected POL staking yield is set to nearly double, with additional earnings primarily coming from actual network fees rather than token inflation. Staking POL will yield more 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 mentioned that Polygon's revenue has grown tenfold this year, achieving 5000 TPS, reducing block time by 25%, and is working to decrease block time to under one second. Polygon Labs will be responsible for the related code development and will submit it for community forum approval.
