Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal announced that the network's transaction fees are entering an accelerated phase, with approximately 1 million POL tokens being burned daily over the past few days. If this trend continues, it could result in the destruction of about 3.5% of the total POL supply annually, leading to significant deflationary pressure on the token. Currently, around 3.6 billion POL tokens are staked, with stakers and validators receiving a combined annual reward of approximately 1.5%. Nailwal also predicted that 2026 will be a pivotal year for POL's resurgence.
