MATIC token burning: Ethereum update EIP-1559 arrived on Polygon

 


The MATIC offering will become deflationary once fee burning begins, the Polygon team believes.


Last August, there was an Ethereum upgrade that introduced a partial network fee burn mechanism. This has now arrived on the layer two network Polygon.


Launched with the London hard fork last summer, the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1559 was a success in terms of gas price predictability. It also implemented mechanisms for burning network fees. The upgrade has now started on Polygon for better "fee visibility". The update went into effect at block number 23,850,000 .


The Polygon team announced the date of the upgrade to Monda after successfully deploying it on the Mumbai testnet.


Now, with the EIP-1559, the same fee burning mechanism is coming to Polygon. As a result, MATIC tokens will also be destroyed. Also, this method eliminates the first-price auction used to calculate network charges, which results in better cost estimates but does not reduce gas prices.


"The burning happens in two stages. It starts on the Polygon network and finishes on the Ethereum network."

The team stated that the MATIC supply, like Ethereum, is likely to become deflationary. It is estimated that 0.27 percent of the total supply is incinerated every year. There is a fixed supply of 10 billion MATIC tokens, of which 6.8 billion are currently in circulation.


"Deflationary pressures will benefit both validators and delegators as their rewards are paid for processing transactions in MATIC," the company added. It also said the upgrade would also reduce spam and network congestion.


Although Polygon is a layer two network, it has also struggled with gas rates lately. Earlier this month, Polygon gas fees have skyrocketed , according to Dune Analytics . This resulted in some validators being unable to submit blocks. The sharp increase in demand is due to the DeFi yield farming game called Sunflower Land, which rewarded early adopters. Shortly thereafter, the profiteers lost interest.


According to Ultrasound.money , 1.54 million Ether ( ETH ) have been burned since the upgrade to Ethereum around six months ago . At current ETH prices, that equates to about $5 billion. The tracker also predicts that 2.5 percent less supply will be spent per year once "the merge" takes place and proof-of-stake becomes the primary consensus mechanism for the network.


According to CoinGecko , MATIC is down 9 percent on the day at $2.22.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
