Polygon Co-Founder Says 25M More POL to Be Burned, Eyes 1-Second Finality

The burn is notable less for its size than for its funding source: it is being paid for out of on-chain revenue, which turns a supply headline into a test of whether network activity can sustain deflationary pressure without relying on token emissions. The Polymarket perpetuals launch and the OMS capacity addition point to the same demand-side thesis — more transactions to fund more burns. The open question is whether the promised sub-second confirmation and block streaming arrive on schedule, since faster finality is what would make Polygon competitive for latency-sensitive trading rather than just cheaper.
