Polygon starts burning mechanism
On December 14, the core development team of Polygon announced that it is rolling out a test implementation of the Ethereum 1559 improvement proposal on the network to enable the use of its own MATIC token and increase the visibility of fees.
EIP-1559 acts as an assistant for better cost estimation, it first appeared on the air on the Ethereum mainnet on August 5 and influenced the price of the cryptocurrency.
EIP-1559, aka the London hard fork, went live on the Polygon testnet in Mumbai on December 14 at 8 am GMT. MATIC Polygon has a fixed supply of $ 10 billion, it is for this reason that any, even the slightest reduction in the number of available tokens will have a deflationary effect.
