The Polygon blockchain team $POL has deployed an update #Madhugiri aimed at accelerating block processing and improving the overall performance of the network. The hard fork introduces a number of technical enhancements, including support for #Fusaka EIP and optimization of validator operations.

Madhugiri reduces the time to reach consensus to one second, allowing blocks to be announced without additional delay. According to the team's estimates, this results in an increase in throughput of about one third.

Developers note that the improvements are aimed at reducing peak delays and increasing stability even under high transaction volumes.

The update includes support for three Fusaka EIP proposals — 7823, 7825, and 7883. These enhancements optimize mathematical operations, limit excessive gas consumption, and reduce the risk of network overload from individual transactions.
