There has been recent progress in the fee burning mechanism on the Polygon chain. According to the latest analysis by the foundation's responsible person, approximately 1 million POL are being burned daily due to base fees, and this burning rate is showing an accelerating trend.

At this pace, the total POL burned over the year could reach about 3.5% of the total supply—which is not a small number. Currently, there are about 3.6 billion POL in circulation on the chain. If the burning continues, there will be a significant deflationary pressure on the token supply.

From an on-chain economic perspective, this burning mechanism is similar to an automatic buyback and burn process: users pay transaction fees → tokens are burned → circulating supply gradually decreases → scarcity increases. When the burning rate enters the accelerating phase of the S-curve, it indicates that on-chain activity is heating up, and fee income is also increasing. This data is worth paying attention to, especially for long-term POL holders.

Burning millions of tokens every day—that's the power of deflation. We're witnessing history [smile] A 3.5% annual burn rate—honestly, this number gave me a psychological boost; it feels like the bottom range is coming Wait, is on-chain activity heating up? Then why are the fees still so low? Something's not quite right Faith is such that the more it drops, the more you buy; the more you burn, the more valuable it becomes. Long-term holders are now crossing cycles Honestly, having experienced the 2018 halving, this mechanism innovation doesn't shake me at all Burning millions of tokens daily—how long will it take to truly change the supply? Seems like we still have to wait The law of conservation of energy tells me that burned tokens will return to holders' hands; rebirth is just around the corner This market has taught me: don't rush, patience is the greatest virtue. POL has a chance.

1 million tokens/day? Polygon is serious, it feels like it's about to take off. This round of POL has some potential; long-term holders are laughing to death. The burn mechanism accelerates on-chain activity, and this logic makes sense... it's just a matter of whether it can be sustained in the future. Annual burn rate of 3.5%? Is the deflationary expectation this obvious? It feels like the market hasn't fully reacted yet. Burning POL every day—I just want to see how far this can go, whether it can really lead to a qualitative change.

Destroying millions of tokens every day? This pace is pretty intense, no wonder POL has felt a bit different lately. As for deflation... it might be good news in the long run, provided on-chain activity is genuinely increasing and not just data showmanship. The S-curve acceleration phase sounds nice, but I just want to know when it will actually be reflected in the price—that's the real key. Can POL this time enjoy the burn benefits like early ETH did? That's all a gamble.

Well... burning 1 million tokens every day, now that's a real deflationary story. POL is truly saving itself this time, much better than those projects that just talk the talk. The higher the transaction fee, the more active the activity, and the faster the burn... this logic is pretty solid. Long-term holders should be quietly celebrating.

Destroying one million POL daily, this pace is really quite intense... An annualized 3.5% deflation, long-term holders are smiling.

It feels like POL's recent burn is quite significant, with daily millions really accelerating. Long-term holders of POL are just waiting for the supply to bottom out... Wait, burning 1 million tokens daily... calculated annually, the burn volume is indeed substantial, and the deflationary pressure is quite intense. On-chain activity heating up automatically burns tokens; this mechanism is pretty awesome. However, it depends on how long this burn can be sustained. There are too many cases of short-term surges followed by stagnation.

Millions of POL are being burned every day. This pace is a bit crazy... Brothers holding long-term might be in for some good news now.

Wow, POL burns 1 million tokens every day? This is the real deflation, not just talk.

Daily destruction of one million? Sounds good, but big players have already left POL is starting to spin stories again. How long can the deflation narrative last? The destruction mechanism is quite clever, but the question is whether the price can outpace the destruction rate Hearing about a million per day sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just another way to trap retail investors This round of deflation pressure, to put it plainly, is just hoping to push the price up. We'll just wait and see

Hey wait, does POL burn 1 million tokens every day? That's a pretty intense number. The guys holding positions are a bit excited now; the deflation is truly a long-term positive.
