Polygon's Fee Burn Rate Indicates Potential Deflationary Impact

According to ChainCatcher, Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep recently shared on the X platform that the fees generated by the Polygon chain are currently in the S-curve phase. Over the past three to four days, one million POL tokens have been burned daily as base fees. If this trend continues throughout the year, 3.5% of the total POL supply will be burned, leading to a significant deflationary effect. Currently, 3.6 billion POL tokens are staked, with stakers and validators collectively receiving approximately 1.5% in POL rewards. Sandeep anticipates that 2026 will be a year of revival for POL.
