Polygon Founder: 100 Million POL to Be Permanently Burned Soon, Polygon Revenue Outperforms Near and Arbitrum

Odaily reports: Polygon founder Sandeep posted on X that Polygon is preparing to permanently burn 100 million POL tokens. The relevant contract is currently on testnet and will go live on mainnet after final sign-off by the Polygon Council. Once live, anyone can trigger the initial burn, after which community members can execute a burn once per quarter.

Sandeep added that Polygon's year-to-date revenue is approximately $24.5 million, higher than Arbitrum's $8.41 million and NEAR's $5.6 million. POL's supply has been in a deflationary state since January 2026, and the network's TPS has increased 10x to 5,000.
