Polygon prepares for his “more complex” hard fork this week
By Hannah Pérez
“This is technically more complex hard bifurcation than Polygon Pos has seen since its launch in 2020,” said CEO Sandeep Nailwal on Heimdall 2.0, scheduled for tomorrow, July 10.
***
- Polygon will deploy tomorrow Heimdall 2.0, the bifurcation lasts more complex since its launch in 2020.
- It will reduce the purpose of the purpose, eliminate the technical debt and introduce greater stability and safety.
- Heimdall 2.0 is part of Polygon’s ambitious road to 100,000 TPS.
- The native token pol (formerly MBIC) is negotiated 7% higher than one day of the update.
Polygonpreviously known as MATIC NETWORKis preparing to implement its most complex update since the launch of its mainnet (main network) in 2020.
The second layer of scalability of Ethereum You have contemplated in your road map to display a Hard fork or bifurcation lasts on Thursday, July 10, that its developers have identified as the most intricate in the history of the project.
“This is technically more complex hard bifurcation than Polygon Pos has seen since its launch in 2020“he wrote in an X the CEO of Polygon FoundationSandeep Nailwal.
SHIPPING ANNOVEMEMENT! 🚢
We’ve Been On A Shipping Spree – And Next Up is Polygon Pos’s Consensus Layer, Heimdall V2, Landing 10 July 2025.
‼ ️ this is the must, the Hard-Fork Polygon Post you have been since it’s launch in 2020‼‼‼‼‼‼‼ ️
What’s Changing?
1. Heimdall Sheds All …– Sandeep | CEO, Polygon Foundation (※, ※) (@sandeepnailwal) July 8, 2025
Born in 2017, Polygon It is possibly one of the most important projects in the search for scalability for Ethereum. Through a network Blockchain of layer 2 (L2), pursues the objective of reducing costs and increasing the speed of transactions in Ethereum.
Polygon Use a participation test chain (POS) that allows rapid and economical transactions, and its native token is Pol (previously Matic). Its main component is the Polygon SDKa modular frame that allows developers to create decentralized applications (DAPPS) compatible with Ethereumfacilitating its use in defi and web3.
Heimdall 2.0: The most complex hard fork Polygon
Under the name “Heimdall 2.0“, The next hard fork of Polygon It focuses on updating the consensus layer of the POS network, known as Heimdallby replacing components inherited with newer infrastructure.
The update will primarially introduce four main changes: Reduction of the purpose of purpose, elimination of technical debt, greater stability and bridge safety and a temporary pause in operations between chains.
Once updated, the purpose of the transactions of Polygon It will go from approximately 90 seconds to about 5 seconds. This change means that transactions will be confirmed much faster, improving user experience and network efficiency.
Heimdall V2 will also replace components inherited from 2018-2019, moving from “Tendermint + Cosmos-SDK V0.37” to “Cometbft + Cosmos-SDK V0.50”. This will modernize the infrastructure and improve the ability to update the network.
It will also minimize the reorganizations of the chain (reorgs) beyond two blocks, which will increase the stability of the network and the safety of the bridges between chains.
Finally, the temporary pause in operations between chains means that, during the update, the component Heimdall It will be temporarily paused, which will suspend operations such as control points, deposits and withdrawals between chains. However, the POS chain will not experience inactivity time, since the Bor component will continue to function.
Polygon’s path to 100,000 TPS
The next update of Polygon It will be carried out after the project implemented in June the hard “bhilai” bifurcation, which increased the capacity of the network by 50% (up to 1000 transactions per second or TPS). Bhilai also reduced the volatility of gas rates and adopted improvements from Ethereum as EIP-7702 to support the abstraction of accounts.
It is worth noting that a Hard fork It is a significant update in the protocol of a Blockchain which introduces changes incompatible with the previous version of the network. This means that the nodes (computers that execute the block chain software) must be updated to the new version based on continuing to participate in the network.
The latest updates are part of a strategy for climb the POS network to 5,000 TPS for October 2025, with a long -term objective to reach 100,000 TPS. Besides, Polygon is focusing on his Agglayer And other improvements to compete in layer 2 space, under a more centralized leadership since Nailwal assumed total control last month.
In the words of the CEO, Heimdall 2.0 The purpose, the user’s experience and the network updating capacity will improve, marking a crucial step to improve the speed, stability and scalability of Polygon.
“Why is it important: faster control points, more fluid user experience, safer connections and space for the next update wave“Nailwal said, inviting the validators to update and disseminate the information.
Token Pol has increased almost 8% In the last 24 hours amid the expectations of the next bifurcation. Its price is USD $ 0.202 at the time of writing these lines, according to data from Coinmarketcap.
