• Polygon has now activated Ethereum’s EIP-1559 upgrade on its Mumbai testnet.
• Ethereum’s EIP-1559 upgrade seeks to improve fee visibility on Polygon.
• This will reduce spam and traffic, while also burning MATIC tokens.

Polygon has deployed Ethereum’s EIP-1559 upgrade on its Mumbai testnet with a goal to improve fee visibility in its ecosystem. Polygon will be rocking the EIP-1559 upgrade to unlock network freedom, reduce spam, and decrease network congestion.

Specifically, Polygon’s innovation happened a couple of hours ago at block 23850000. The Polygon team also made an announcement prior to the deployment in order to notify users on January 17, 2022.

EIP-1559 will become the disruptive technology that implements its fee-burning mechanism for Polygon. This will lead to MATIC token destruction. This is a major reason why Polygon chose the EIP-1559 update.

EIP-1559 will also be mathematically inclined in order to eliminate the first-price auction approach to calculating network charges for improved estimates. This will allow Polygon to handle this issue and provide new experience without having to reinvent the wheel.

It is two-step process. The first step starts at the Polygon network, and ends on the Polygon.

According to team, there’s a good chance that MATIC supplies will collapse by 0.27% like Ethereum (ETH). This will result in the burning of all the supply each year.

Moreover, the post mentioned that there’s the likelihood for validators and delegators to benefit from deflationary pressure in the coming days. From other perspectives, this mainly takes into account because validators’ transaction rewards are denominated against MATIC in the market.

Polygon is currently facing a crisis of gas in crypto markets. According to Dune Analytics, Polygon’s gas prices rose dramatically in the first year of this new decade.
