Polygon just flipped another switch in its long-term scalability strategy. With the Madhugiri hard fork, throughput has now climbed to 1,400 transactions per second, marking one of the largest live performance jumps the network has seen in years. It’s not just an upgrade it’s a directional signal: #Polygon isn’t building for 2025 volumes; it’s building for the next decade of global crypto adoption.
What makes this moment more interesting is not the TPS number, but the forward guidance.
CEO Sandeep Nailwal has laid out an aggressive, almost audacious timeline:
👉 5,000 TPS within the next 6 months
👉 Up to 100,000 TPS within 12–24 months
All powered by the unified zk stack, shared liquidity across chains, and Polygon’s long-term shift from “one chain” to a mesh of high-performance #ZK networks
This is the kind of roadmap that signals a pivot from incremental improvements to true internet-scale infrastructure where blockchains finally target user bases measured in billions, not thousands.
If @Polygon hits even half of this timeline, it won’t just compete with other L2s; it will redefine the upper bound of what an Ethereum-aligned scaling ecosystem can look like.
The quiet takeaway?
Polygon is preparing for a world where blockchains run at the speed of mainstream applications, and where scaling is no longer the debate design is.
