Polygon Boosts Staking Rewards to 7.7% for Two Months

Polygon is increasing the estimated gross staking reward rate for POL holders to 7.7% from October 1 through December 1.

The higher rate is being funded by 27.3 million POL in accumulated network priority fees under PIP-92, which links staking rewards more directly to network activity.

The change raises the checkpoint reward from about 25,213 POL to 64,500 POL during the period and lifts the annualized gross staking reward rate from roughly 3.0% to 7.7%. However, the quoted APY is an estimate rather than a guaranteed individual return.

The increase in staking rewards comes as Polygon continues to work on expanding POL's role beyond basic network security and making staking more economically connected to POL activity.
