The Madhugiri Hardfork includes several key improvements that benefit both developers and users. By implementing PIP-75, the network consensus time is now adjustable to one second, allowing for quicker block production without the need for a hardfork for future tweaks. <a href="https://github.com/apache/pulsar/wiki/PIP-74%3A-Pulsar-client-memory-limits" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">PIP-74</a> ensures canonical inclusion of StateSync transactions, improving synchronization across nodes and enhancing network stability. Meanwhile, Ethereum Fusaka EIPs such as <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7883" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EIP-7883</a> and <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7825" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EIP-7825</a> increase the ModExp gas cost and set transaction gas limits, strengthening core EVM security. <a href="https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7823" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EIP-7823</a> adds upper bounds for ModExp, further securing computationally intensive operations.

Together, these upgrades not only increase throughput but also allow Polygon to support faster node synchronization and proactive security measures. Users and applications do not need to take any action, as the upgrade is handled automatically on the PoS mainnet. This hands-off approach ensures continuity for developers and businesses building on Polygon, from decentralized finance platforms to NFT marketplaces.

Polygon’s Madhugiri Hardfork is a timely response to the growing demands of Ethereum Layer 2 networks. <a href="https://dune.com/jesutofunmi/polygon-chain-daily-analysis" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Recent data</a> from Dune Analytics shows that Polygon supports tens of millions of daily transactions, and throughput constraints can impact user experience and transaction fees. By increasing throughput by a third and allowing block time adjustments without a hardfork, Polygon positions itself to handle future growth more efficiently.
