Something cooked yesterday at @0xPolygon

Stay tuned for upcoming releases and HFs.

Coolest thing about this is all the Solana users in comments talking about how awesome the user experience is without realizing that they’re converting their SOL to USDC on Polygon and fully experiencing Polygon.

🤣

btw if you're one of the 3.6K+ new developers building on Polygon (and growing @ethereum), here are all the ways @0xPolygon supports founders.

@functi0nZer0 At least it works

The only thing that words on days like today is Defi!

Id rather pay $100 in gas and have my assets available.

5/ At the end of the call some early discussions were also had around future roadmap items that include potentially reducing block times, which is is early exploration.

1/ Yesterday, we held PPGC 36. We recapped the successful 🎇 Rio hard fork 🎇 and discussed PIP-74, a proposal to update the StateSync transaction workflow.

Summary of key topics:
➡️ PIP-73: Rio hardfork retro
➡️ PIP-74: Canonical Inclusion of StateSync Transactions in Block Bodies
Agenda: https://t.co/32l0JbeRwO

4/ @0xlucca30 then presented PIP-74: Canonical Inclusion of StateSync Transactions in Block Bodies.

This proposal makes StateSync executions first class typed transactions (0x7F) appended to any block that includes StateSync activity. Those blocks will then anchor all executed events.

The change ensures StateSync results now affect transactionsRoot, receiptsRoot, and logsBloom, allowing Merkle proof verification and snapsync consistency.

In simpler terms the change binds event metadata (IDs, receivers, success/failure, and originating L1 hashes) into block data.

Statements like "people who use Polymarket don't even know what chain they are on" are bizarre. People don't know what server hosts their website, yet Amazon has a market cap of 2.4T$ largely thanks to AWS. That is the endgame for blockchains: be invisible backends for applications deployed on top of them. If the user has to know who hosts your website to use it, then you fucked up. Same should be true for blockchains.

Polygon’s biggest payments upgrade went live.

→ near-instant finality
→ no reorgs
→ lightweight nodes
→ faster rails

Upgrade your money.

[Polygon Foundation @0xPolygonFdn]

After a successful testnet run, Rio Upgrade is now live on Polygon mainnet.

Rio redesigns the network’s validator rule set to maximize efficiency by changing core architecture with validator-elected block producers (VEBloP) and introducing stateless block verification.

[Harry Rook @Harry__Rook]

@hudsonjameson Was a pleasure working with you ser!

[Polygon Foundation @0xPolygonFdn]

In the buildup to Rio Upgrade on mainnet, we’ll be performing some testing on Amoy Testnet.

This includes both performance and load testing, and might result in some instability on Amoy Testnet. We’ll be closely monitoring the stability of the network and will communicate any potential disruptions.

🚢 Shipping for the next steps in the GigaGas roadmap!

Rio Upgrade is deployed to Polygon PoS Amoy Testnet. Next stop: ~5k TPS

The upgrade redesigns core architecture to eliminate reorgs, make validation lighter, nodes easier to run, and block production fairer. It sets 5,000 TPS in motion, while preserving the network’s north star: empowering validators while building the foundation for global payments and RWAs.

Validator participation remains at the heart of Polygon. I’m excited to see the Rio upgrade ship, giving validators a greater role in governance, and aligning incentives and economic models.

Kudos to the Polygon engineers for shipping stronger rails for the internet of value.

Mainnet in October.

ICYMI, VEBloP is now live on Polygon testnet.
