Polygon Activates Madhugiri Hardfork to Improve Network Efficiency
- The Madhugiri hardfork reduces consensus time to one second.
- Network throughput is boosted by approximately 33%.
- The upgrade supports three Fusaka EIPs—EIP-7823, EIP-7825, and EIP-7883.
- A new transaction type enhances interactions between Ethereum and Polygon.
- Madhugiri strengthens support for stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWA).
The Madhugiri hardfork introduces several technical enhancements that focus on improving network performance during high transaction volumes while optimizing gas consumption and computational costs. These upgrades are crucial for supporting emerging technologies in the cryptocurrency space.
With the reduction in consensus time to one second and a throughput increase of about one-third, Polygon’s Madhugiri hardfork significantly enhances its infrastructure for stablecoins and tokenized assets.(Source)
