Poly suggests burning POL plus 25 million tokens, aiming to stand on the chain within one millisecond.

Polygon is proposing to burn 25 million POL tokens with a target transaction validation time of 1 millisecond.

What's this about?

A report from Odaily states that Polygon's co-founder has proposed a plan to burn 25 million more POL tokens with the goal of reducing transaction confirmation time on the chain to 1 millisecond.

The important information the reader should know is that both stories are still presented in terms of "suggestions" and "goals", but there's no clear timeframe for a one-millisecond validation process, so what happens now is a directional signal from the polygon ecosystem, not an assumption that all mechanisms will be ready to go immediately.

Why burn more POL?

Token incineration is the removal of a portion of tokens from circulation, usually with the goal of reducing the number of remaining tokens on the market or adjusting their supply structure to align with project policies.

For POL, which is a token associated with the polygon ecosystem, offering to burn an additional 25 million tokens could mean attempting to balance supply over the long term, but burning tokens doesn't necessarily imply that prices will change because market pricing still depends on volatility, demand for use, developer activity and the state of the crypto market as a whole.

In the general reader's view, burning POL should be understood as a structural adjustment of tokens, not a buy or sell signal and not an asset value guarantee.

How important is a millisecond?

Transaction finality is the point in time at which a transaction on a blockchain is accepted and considered complete. Reducing validation to 1 millisecond is important because it directly affects user experience.

If it does, the system will support high-speed applications such as payments, blockchain gaming, real-time digital asset transactions or data continuity requiring applications where users feel that making a transaction is closer to pressing a confirmation button in typical online systems rather than waiting for traditional multi-step verification.

However, the one-millisecond figure is very challenging in practice because speed doesn't just depend on processing but also involves algorithms, network architecture, data transmission, server stability and overall system security so this goal should be seen as a technical direction that needs to wait for future implementation details.

There's definitely something going on here.

What the report clearly states is that Polygon's co-founders have proposed a plan to burn POL, add 25 million tokens and aim to reduce transaction validation on queues by 1 millisecond.

But what's unclear is that, uh... (Laughter) (Applause)

• Target's starting time frame is one millisecond.
• Technical details to support that kind of speed.
• The POL burn procedure is how it's carried out.
• Effects on POL holders in each use case
• The agency or oversight mechanism involved in this plan.

So the reader should distinguish between a recommendation and an actual use, because they both have different meanings for ecosystems and users.

How does it affect users?

For those who already use a polygon network, there are two main long-term consequences. The first is that the supply structure of POL if the burn plan is actually implemented, the number of tokens circulating in the system may decrease, which can affect the economic design of the network such as customization costs, stakes or revenue generation mechanisms of different protocols, but the impact on each application will vary according to actual usage conditions.

The second aspect is the user experience. If Polygon approaches its authentication time target of 1 real millisecond, applications on the network may run more smoothly, especially services that require speed and instant authentication such as money transfers, online payments, purchases in DeFi or transactions requiring multiple consecutive authentications.

For users in Thailand holding POLs through exchange or wallet platforms, it is recommended to follow the announcements from the platform used as well as the practices of the relevant regulatory authorities because technical changes or token updates may affect the conditions for depositing, withdrawing or providing digital assets on some channels.

Required reading for interpretation.

This news is not an announcement that the system will burn POL instantly, nor a confirmation that Polygon's 1 millisecond validation timeout has been reached. It merely reports on proposals and goals presented by polygon co-founders via Odaily data.

What's worth keeping an eye out for is additional details from the project and Polygon community on how the 25 million POL burning plan tokens will go through the process, what steps the 1 millisecond target will be broken into, and when users or POL holders will actually get results.
