Polygon Supports 1000 TPS with Bhilai Hardfork

Polygon’s Bhilai Hardfork marks the first milestone in its “Gigagas” roadmap—catapulting Polygon PoS to over 1000 Transactions Per Second (TPS) with upgraded throughput and user experience. It lays the foundation for achieving future speeds of 100,000 TPS.

Key Ideas

Gas limit raised from 30M to 45M → 50% boost in throughput
Maintains ultra-low fees (fractions of $0.01) with stabilized pricing
Integrates EIP-7702 via Bor upgrade → enables account abstraction, allowing for gasless transactions and PassKey authentication
Targeted growth areas: payments and Real-World Asset tokenization
