Madhugiri Hardfork Now Live — @0xPolygon PoS Advances Scaling Roadmap

The Madhugiri Hardfork is now live on Polygon PoS at block 80,084,800 (≈10:00 UTC), advancing the scaling roadmap set after the Bhilai upgrade that achieved 1,000+ TPS earlier this year.

New post-activation benchmarks

• Throughput observed at approximately 1,400 TPS

• Block gas capacity expanded, with configuration path communicated toward 60M gas

• Fusaka-aligned EIPs are now active in production environments

• Node and validator reports indicate stable syncing with no disruptions

What Madhugiri introduces

• 1-second consensus timing, making the block interval configurable without hardforks

• Canonical inclusion of StateSync transactions for standardized verification and faster node alignment

• ModExp-related security constraints applied, reducing computational overload vectors

• Transaction gas caps to prevent single-transaction resource concentration

Technical significance

• Continues Polygon PoS scaling architecture established under prior upgrades

• Implements mechanisms intended to support performance under higher-load network activity

• Aligns Polygon PoS with Ethereum’s Fusaka security improvements

Activation status

• Validators require Bor client v2.5.x or higher

• No user action required

• Post-fork operation reported as stable
