Giugliano Upgrade Continues Polygon’s Push for Scalability and Stability
-

The Giugliano hardfork is part of Polygon’s broader roadmap to scale its network for global use cases, including payments and tokenized assets. Following a series of reliability issues in 2025, the network has rolled out multiple upgrades to improve stability, throughput, and smart contract performance.
As part of its long-term “Gigagas” vision, Polygon aims to reach up to 100,000 transactions per second. While the network already processes thousands of transactions per second, the success of this latest upgrade will depend on whether faster finality and better fee tools translate into increased real-world usage and developer adoption.
