The Polygon Foundation confirmed the Giugliano hardfork will activate on mainnet at block 85,268,500 on April 8 at approximately 2 p.m. UTC. The upgrade targets faster finality and improved fee transparency, allowing block producers to announce blocks earlier and reducing transaction confirmation time to finality.

The hardfork is part of Polygon’s broader push toward higher throughput for payments and tokenized assets. The upgrade follows a challenging 2025 for the network.
