Here’s a breakdown of what the Polygon network’s new Madhugiri Hard Fork means changed technically, and why it matters.

The hard fork is officially proposed under PIP‑76.

As part of the update, the Polygon mainnet (via its Bor client) was upgraded — version Bor v2.5.0 carries the code implementing Madhugiri.

The fork was scheduled to activate at block height 80,084,800, which corresponded to roughly 10:00 UTC on December 9, 2025.

The Madhugiri Hard Fork brings several important upgrades:

Throughput boost (~33%): The network’s transaction throughput is estimated to increase roughly by a third thanks to larger gas limits / improved gas-handling logic.

Faster block consensus / block times: Consensus time has been reduced — blocks can now be finalized in as little as 1 second (instead of the previous ~2 seconds or longer), when ready.

New “StateSyncTx” transaction type & better sync logic: The update adds a canonical state-sync transaction format, improving how state sync events are logged, making snap-sync and network synchronization more efficient.

Security & gas-handling improvements via EIPs: The fork incorporates several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) — specifically EIP‑7823, EIP‑7825 and EIP‑7883 — which among other things impose upper bounds on gas for expensive operations, reducing risk of denial-of-service attacks via resource-heavy transactions.

Future-upgrade flexibility: According to the project’s announcement, the fork makes future throughput increases simpler — basically allowing future scalability improvements with fewer disruptive changes.
