Polygon Foundation CEO: 2026 will be the year of POL revival

The CEO of the Polygon Foundation, Sandeep, posted on the X platform that the fees generated by the Polygon chain are currently in the S-curve phase. Over the past 3 to 4 days, 1 million POL has been burned daily as base fees.

If this trend continues throughout the year, 3.5% of the total supply of POL will be burned, resulting in a significant deflationary effect on POL. Currently, 3.6 billion POL have been staked, with stakers and validators collectively earning about 1.5% in POL rewards. Sandeep believes that 2026 will be the year of POL's revival.
