Polygon (MATIC), one of the most popular Ethereum (ETH) scaling platforms, has submitted a hard fork that includes significant changes to the network for community approval.
Polygon developers increased during network density Controlling transaction fees and on validators increase security measures Preparing for a new hard fork. In case of acceptance of the hard fork submitted for community approval, January 17 will be implemented on
The first change in Polygon’s new hard fork is that transaction fees on how to determine contains a setting. With this update, Polygon is able to address issues that occur when there is too much activity on the network. reduce spikes in transaction prices aims. In a statement on the subject, a developer explained that they plan to soften transaction spikes with the following statements:
While gas will still increase during peak demand, Ethereum will be more in line with the way gas dynamics currently work. The goal is to smooth out spikes and provide a smoother experience when interacting with the chain.
As part of the second update, Polygon will be released relatively frequently. reform (reorganization) aims to address the issue. With this update, the team wants to reduce the time it takes to terminate a block to verify successful transactions. change in block times will go.
In the planned new design, Polygon’s “sprint length” Reducing from 64 blocks to 16 blocks is located. In this way 128-second block generation time will be reduced to 32 seconds and a block producer will be able to produce blocks in a much shorter time.
