Polygon developers are ensuring the network functions better and is accessible for everyone. This year, they will raise block capacity by 33% to support stablecoin transactions. The goal is to handle more users and transactions without slowing down or increasing fees.
Polygon developers will try to meet stablecoin demand with low fees and smooth transactions.
Why This Upgrade Matters
Polygon is pumping stablecoins, and the volume of transactions and users is increasing. If the demand increases, the network may slow down. Currently, blocks store about 1,071 transactions. The upgrade raises the block gas limit, which sets how many transactions a block can hold.

After the upgrade, each block will hold around 1,428 transactions. With this, the network will process many transactions at once and with efficiency. You will enjoy faster transaction speed and lower fees, even with these changes.
How Polygon Plans to Do It
Increasing block size may sound simple, but it comes with challenges. Bigger blocks need more storage space and stronger hardware. These bigger blocks make it harder for regular participants to run nodes.

To address this, Polygon developers are testing architectural improvements like “statements verification” on the Amoy testnet. It allows validators to check transactions without storing the full blockchain. You can look at it as a shortcut. It maintains accuracy while being lighter and faster. Polygon then becomes more efficient, decentralized, and scalable.

Looking Ahead
These upgrades prepare Polygon to embrace stablecoins and real-world asset transfers. You get to enjoy low fees and smooth transactions even as more people join the network. These changes support DeFi growth and keep Polygon competitive.
Polygon’s roadmap is (still) scaling towards GigaGas.
Enabled by the Rio Upgrade:
– Block gas limit increasing from 45M to 60M, raising the ceiling on tps by 33%
– Redesigned block production architecture for efficiency
– Stateless block verification cuts hardware requirements +… https://t.co/ENYbri4xLR— Polygon (@0xPolygon) September 17, 2025
Polygon developers are enhancing performance and user experience. In the coming months, we will see the results of their hard work.
Conclusion
Polygon developers are ensuring that the network is faster, smoother, and easier to use. The network does not get clogged with transactions, nor does it increase charges. It remains open, fair, and ready for the growing demand for users and stablecoins.
