POLYGON ROADMAP TO 100K TPS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Polygon's Gigagas roadmap outlines a phased scaling path from 1,000 TPS and ~5 second finality in July to 5,000+ TPS with single-block instant confirmations and AggLayer cross-chain liquidity by year-end, before targeting a 100,000 TPS “gigagas” throughput in 2026 and beyond. Key upgrades include gas-fee stabilization, smart account features, stateless block validation, validator-elected block production, and zero reorgs to ensure predictable, low-cost transactions for high-frequency stablecoin payments and real-world assets. With deep institutional integration and high USDC and USDT usage, Polygon is positioning itself as the universal layer for global payments and RWA settlement.
