Polygon Burns 100M POL Tokens, Next Phase to Burn 22M

This burn is notable less for its size than for its funding source: the tokens were destroyed with fees the network itself generated, which ties token supply reduction to actual usage rather than to a discretionary treasury action. The follow-on tranche, while smaller, keeps that mechanism in view. The open question is whether fee-funded burns scale with activity or remain episodic, since that determines whether the policy reads as a durable deflationary feature or a one-off gesture.
