Polygon PoS Gas Burn Surges to Record 3 Million POL in a Single Day

Polygon PoS has hit a major milestone, burning over 3 million POL tokens in a single day — a new record that underscores surging network usage and the strength of its deflationary economics.

Soaring On-Chain Activity

The spike in transaction volume is driven by growing adoption across decentralized applications, NFT platforms, and cross-chain infrastructure. Each transaction’s gas fee is permanently removed from circulation, tightening supply and reinforcing long-term value accrual.

• 3 million POL burned in 24 hours, 0.03% of total supply
• Active addresses reach all-time highs
• DeFi TVL shows strong recovery trends

A More Resilient Economic Model

With an EIP-1559-style fee-burn mechanism, Polygon transforms network usage into value retention. High activity levels now translate into measurable scarcity, boosting investor and user confidence.

Analysts suggest this burn surge could signal the start of a new growth phase, attracting additional projects to build and expand on the network in the coming months.
