POL has a new move: 100 million tokens permanently destroyed—burning more 🔥
On September 27, Polygon co-founder Sandeep posted that the POL community recently used on-chain revenue to accumulate and permanently destroy 100 million POL, accounting for about 1% of the total supply. Going forward, it is expected that another roughly 25 million POL will continue to be destroyed.
In plain terms, destroying means taking these tokens permanently out of the circulating system—they will not return to the market. For POL, this is effectively expanding ecosystem revenue while also reducing part of the token supply through a burn mechanism. Going forward, the market will likely focus on whether this kind of mechanism can be sustained.
In addition, Polymarket has already launched perpetual contracts on Polygon, and Polygon PoS is also continuously upgrading. The future goal is to further compress confirmation times down to the millisecond level. After OMS goes live, it is also expected to add processing capacity for about 1 million additional transactions per day.
So what’s worth watching this time isn’t just “how much POL was burned,” but that Polygon is upgrading in three directions at once: token economics, trading scenarios, and underlying performance.
**The truly valuable upgrades aren’t about shouting how big the story is—they’re about whether revenue, users, and on-chain activity can actually be built up.** Whether POL can run this logic successfully is worth keeping an eye on.
