Polygon is integrating Ethereum’s Fusaka EIPs into the upcoming Madhugiri hardfork
- Polygon’s Madhugiri hard fork is activated at 80084800.
- Fusaka EIPs improve network security, enable one-second consensus, and support sophisticated gaming and financial transactions.
Polygon is preparing for its Madhugiri hardfork, which is activated today. The upgrade introduces Ethereum’s Fusaka EIPs – EIP 7883, 7825 and 7823 – to increase the pace and strengthen the network for its growth.
Tomorrow, Polygon is upgrading to make future speed boosts easier to ship, and increasing network throughput by 33%.
The Madhugiri Hardfork makes certain throughput increases as easy as flipping a few switches. It also continues to improve network stability and adds support for… https://t.co/SFu3AhtjVM pic.twitter.com/vNoT65BKGV

The hard fork brings a 33% increase in network throughput through improved consensus timing and optimized block structuring. The POL network can now adjust block times without the need for future upgrades. Validators and developers benefit from faster node synchronization, reducing operational stress during times of high demand.
In addition to optimizing throughput and synchronization, the hardfork also increases security. The Fusaka EIPs introduce strict gas restrictions and limit calculation operations to a maximum value. The changes are intended to mitigate vulnerabilities and align the Polygon execution environment with Ethereum standards.
Polygon accelerates consensus and block upgrades
Madhugiri also enforces PIP-75 and PIP-74, enabling one-second consensus intervals and canonical incorporation of StateSync data into block bodies. Polygon emphasizes that users do not need to take any action during the update. The network ensures a smooth transition to a faster and safer environment.
The new block structure and timing improvements allow Polygon to process transactions more smoothly. Faster consensus building and improved block creation increase performance under heavy usage. The upgrade ensures that gaming, DeFi and other heavily used applications run smoothly and the network can easily handle growing demand.
Technical monitoring shows the stability of the network before activation. Throughput and block production metrics suggest that the new rules can be implemented. Observers are waiting for the hardfork to validate Polygon’s ability to scale and verify that it meets security standards.
Germany has followed the trend towards regulated blockchain with a €100 million digital bond issued by NRW.BANK on the POL platform in accordance with the Electronic Securities Act (eWpG). The issuance process was managed by a BaFin-licensed registrar and monitored by Deutsche Bank, DZ BANK and Deka-Bank.
