Polygon's recently completed Madhugiri hard fork pushed on-chain processing capacity to approximately 1400 TPS. This is just the beginning—CEO Sandeep Nailwal revealed more aggressive scaling plans: reaching 5000 TPS within half a year, and in the next one to two years, their goal is to surpass 100,000 TPS.

Behind the TPS numbers is the increasingly fierce performance arms race in the Layer2 track. From four digits to five digits and then six digits, such a leap in scale, if truly achievable, would be a qualitative change in the on-chain application capacity. Of course, the roadmap is easy to draw, but whether it can be delivered on time is another matter.
