Polygon Founder: Network Officially Enters Deflationary State, POL Burn Volume Exceeds 107 Million This Year

Odaily星球日报讯 Polygon founder Sandeep disclosed data on X platform, stating that since 2026, Polygon has newly minted approximately 105.2 million POL, while the amount of POL burned through the base fee mechanism has reached approximately 107.7 million. The burn volume exceeds the new issuance, officially achieving annual net deflation for the Polygon network. Sandeep added that the reduction in POL supply primarily stems from base fee burns resulting from high transaction volumes as Polygon serves as a payment chain. In May, Polygon processed a higher transaction volume than other public chains, with a single-month transaction count reaching 198 million.
