According to official announcements, Polygon, the Ethereum expansion solution, has released a "Gigagas" expansion roadmap, which plans to increase network throughput to 100000 TPS in three stages, becoming the core blockchain infrastructure for global payments and real-world asset (RWA) settlements.
Short term goal (July 2025): Through Bhilai upgrade, TPS will be increased from the current level to over 1000, and the final confirmation time for transactions will be shortened to about 5 seconds; Optimize the gas fee mechanism to maintain a single transaction cost below $0.001 (paid in POL); Upgrade the core components of the execution layer (Bor) and consensus layer (Heimdall) to support the latest Ethereum standards.
Mid term goal (by the end of 2025): Achieve 5000+TPS through the Validator Taught Block Producer model (tested on the development website); Integrate AggLayer cross chain protocol to eliminate the risk of chain restructuring and achieve final block determinism.
Long term plan (after 2026): Promote Gigagas upgrade to 100000 TPS, support institutional RWA and global payment scenarios; Expand the scale of validators, enhance decentralization, and maintain 99.9% network stability; Deepen cooperation with traditional financial institutions such as Stripe, BlackRock, Apollo, etc.
