Polygon has successfully implemented the Madhugiri hard fork, aiming to enhance network throughput by approximately 33% and reduce block consensus time to one second. Core developer Krishang Shah highlighted that the upgrade supports three Fusaka Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP-7823, EIP-7825, and EIP-7883). Additionally, the upgrade introduces a new transaction type specifically designed for Ethereum to Polygon cross-chain bridge transactions, enhancing protocol flexibility for future scalability upgrades. Polygon claims that future throughput expansions will be as simple as "flipping a few switches."
