TechFlow news, according to Polygonscan, the Polygon PoS chain has reached block height 38,189,056, with blocks being produced normally and the hard fork upgrade successfully executed.
Previously, developers of the Polygon PoS blockchain proposed a hard fork software upgrade to address gas spikes and enhance block security on the sidechain network. Proposed by Polygon Labs developers, the upgrade was scheduled for January 17. The hard fork aims to reduce the impact of surging transaction fees and chain reorganizations, thereby improving Polygon's performance and security. A primary goal of the hard fork is to make Polygon more secure against reorganizations.
On January 14, a Polygon spokesperson stated that the hard fork would be triggered at block height >= 38,189,056, launching without influence from any centralized or single participant. Network validators must update their nodes prior to the specified block height. Additionally, MATIC token holders and delegators do not need to take any action, and applications will not be affected during the hard fork.
