Polygon has earned over $1.7 million in fees in 2026, driven in large part by Polymarket’s 15-minute high-frequency prediction markets, which introduced transaction fees that reward liquidity providers and increase network activity. On one day, these markets contributed up to $100,000 in fees. Polygon also achieved a throughput of 16.67 million gas per second and $1.45 million in revenue over the past week, marking a 171% week-over-week increase, signaling growing adoption, stronger on-chain activity, and the ecosystem’s expanding utility.
