Polygon Foundation has confirmed the Giugliano hardfork will go live on April 8, bringing key improvements to transaction finality and fee transparency. The upgrade allows block producers to announce blocks earlier, reducing the time it takes for transactions to become irreversible by around two seconds based on testnet results.

Additionally, the upgrade integrates EIP-1559-style fee parameters directly into block headers and introduces new RPC endpoints. This gives developers and applications more accurate, real-time access to gas pricing data, improving efficiency across wallets and decentralized apps without requiring user action.
