🚢 Shipping for the next steps in the GigaGas roadmap! Rio Upgrade is deployed to Polygon PoS Amoy Testnet. Next stop: ~5k TPS The upgrade redesigns core architecture to eliminate reorgs, make validation lighter, nodes easier to run, and block production fairer. It sets 5,000 TPS in motion, while preserving the network’s north star: empowering validators while building the foundation for global payments and RWAs. Validator participation remains at the heart of Polygon. I’m excited to see the Rio upgrade ship, giving validators a greater role in governance, and aligning incentives and economic models. Kudos to the Polygon engineers for shipping stronger rails for the internet of value. Mainnet in October.
