Binance will support Polygon (MATIC) EIP-1559 Network Upgrade.
Polygon (MATIC), the first well-structured, easy-to-use platform for Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development, is planning to release an update to set up a fee-burning mechanism line like Etherereum (ETH) and Binance Coin (BNB).
Polygon first rolled out a testnet EIP-1559 update in order to burn its native token MATIC. This step will offer MATIC’s ecosystem better transaction fee visibility. The first testnet announcement was made by Polygon via its official blog post on December 14, 2021.
Yesterday Polygon informed that they would deploy the EIP-1559 update on the mainnet on Jan 18th.
Today, Binance declared that it is ready to support the Polygon network upgrade and hard fork. The world’s leading exchange made this announcement public via tweet and provided details in its official blog post.
