gas fees spiked to *check notes* $1.80 during one of the most fierce stress tests of crypto infra EVER
@0xPolygon was the cheapest chain to move USDC during the congestion and everything routed without disruption or execution latency
seeing post mortems like this about a chain that i use every day (@katana and polymarket) is definitely reassuring
incredible to sit back and reflect on how far infrastructure and blockchain technology has come, and what the future world looks like with blockchains powering traditional businesses
Yesterday’s market tested every network’s limits: infrastructure, stability, and trust.
Through volatility Polygon remained strong, with open rails for users making transactions and moving money around the globe.
Recent network upgrades all laid the groundwork for this kind of resilience.
- Bhilai Upgrade: higher throughput (raising block gas limit from 30M → 45M)
- Heimdall Upgrade: upgraded consensus layer (better network stability), faster finality (~5s)
- Rio Upgrade: near-instant finality (better reliability), eliminating risk of reorgs, increased capacity (fee stabilization)
