$POL Giugliano hardfork activation
Polygon is activating the Giugliano hardfork this week, introducing faster transaction finality and improved network stability. The upgrade reintroduces early block announcements and embeds EIP‑1559 gas parameters into block headers, making Polygon’s PoS chain more efficient and resilient.
Key Details of the Giugliano Hardfork
Codename: Giugliano (PIP‑84).
Activation: Scheduled for April 2026, with rollout on Amoy testnet (block 35,573,500) and mainnet activation shortly after.
Polygon previously faced a 15‑minute finality delay in 2025 due to a faulty milestone proposal, which disrupted validators and RPC services. The Giugliano hardfork addresses these vulnerabilities with a reviewed implementation.
