Polygon's Transaction Fees Surge Amid New Market Features

According to PANews, Polygon has generated over $1.7 million in transaction fees and burned more than 12.5 million POL tokens since early 2026. The increase in fees is largely attributed to Polymarket's introduction of a fee feature for its 15-minute prediction market, which brought in over $100,000 in revenue for Polygon in a single day. Following the launch of the Dandeli hard fork, the chain's throughput increased to 20 mgas/s, effectively alleviating gas pressure.
