This morning, Polygon successfully completed the “Indore” hard fork, a crucial step to improve the stability and synchronization of its Proof-of-Stake blockchain. This development also marks Polygon’s efforts to realize its ambitious vision of Project 2.0, providing unlimited scalability and unified liquidity.
Polygon successfully deploys the “Indore” fork
This morning at 6 a.m. there Polygon blockchain saw the success of its hard fork “Indore” at block #44934656. This fork, integrated into the global update named ” Inborg“, results from a improvement proposal (PIP-12) from the Polygon community. The “Inborg” set consists of two distinct proposals: Indore (PIP-12) and Aalborg (PIP-11).
Indore (PIP-12) aims to improve network stability and eliminate potential BADBLOCK errors by updating the State Sync mechanism. This update fixes the latency and synchronization issues between blocksthus greatly improving the user experience.
As for Aalborg (PIP-11), which will be executed next month, will enable faster completion of the network thanks to the introduction of a dual client architecture and the concept of “milestones”. These advances strengthen the vision of unlimited scalability and unified liquidity in the Polygon Project 2.0.
Today’s fork therefore represents an integral part of the update aimed at fixing the latency and synchronization issues between blocks, which have plagued the user experience in the past. More specifically, the “Indore” fork improved network stability, fixed a bug, and changed the state synchronization process.
Consolidation of Polygon’s position
Polygon continues to solidify its position as the leading Layer 2 network on Ethereum. The Binance exchange also showed its support by suspending deposits and withdrawals during the upgrade.
The Polygon Labs team also encouraged network nodes to update their software to ensure flawless operation. The “Indore” hard fork represents a major step forward for Polygon, but it is only one step in the larger vision of the Polygon 2.0 infrastructure.
Polygon Labs aims to create an “internet value layer” which offers unified liquidity and unlimited scalability. This process will take time, with incremental updates and regular communication to the community.
The transition to a validium zk-EVM is one of the major changes planned for the Polygon network. This transition will improve security by inheriting features from Ethereum and using zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs.
In addition, the new four-layer structure of the network, including the staking, interoperability, execution and demonstration layers, will be implemented gradually.
Polygon native token MATIC reacted positively to the news of the “Indore” hard fork. With an increase of 8% in the last 24 hours, MATIC seems to be reversing the bearish trend seen recently. Technological developments and infrastructure evolutions should play a key role in the future performance of MATIC.
