[💜Polygon's Gigagas Roadmap: Toward 100,000 TPS by 2026] Let's take a look at the Gigagas roadmap by @0xPolygon (powered by $POL)! Polygon's Gigagas roadmap is an ambitious scaling plan announced in June 2025, aiming to make the Polygon PoS chain a core infrastructure for global payments and RWA (real-world asset tokenization) by achieving 100,000 TPS (transactions per second) by 2026. This strategy aims to implement Visa-level speed on-chain, making stablecoin transfers, micro-payments, and more a reality. The roadmap is currently progressing smoothly, with continuous TPS improvements through phased upgrades! ✅ July 2025: Bhilai Hardfork - Block gas limit increased from 30M to 45M - Achieved over 1,000 TPS - Transaction finality ~5 seconds, gas fees stabilized under $0.001 - Improved gasless UX with EIP-7702 support ✅ October 2025: Rio Upgrade - Introduced Validator-Elected Block Producer (VEBloP) model - Laid the foundation for over 5,000 TPS - Eliminated reorganization (reorg) risks, enabling near-instant finality - Reduced node requirements to enhance decentralization, maximized efficiency with stateless verification ✅ December 2025: Madhugiri Hardfork - Additional 33% throughput increase (~1,400 TPS measured) - Dynamic block time adjustment (no hardforks needed for future upgrades) - Consensus time reduced to 1 second, security enhanced with Ethereum Fusaka EIP support ✅ Outlook after 2026 - Deep integration of AggLayer: Frictionless cross-chain liquidity movement - Optimized validator network - Target of over 100,000 TPS - Real-world applications: Stablecoin volume exceeding $1B+ per month, strengthened partnerships with Stripe/Mastercard Polygon already holds a dominant position in the stablecoin market. Once Gigagas is fully realized, on-chain payments are expected to transition from a slow and expensive process to a "daily infrastructure." Additionally, $POL stakers can expect increased network value and higher rewards!! Purple Magic💜💜💜
