Polygon’s Proof of Stake chain just hit a new all-time high of 7.5 million weekly transactions. Co-founder and Polygon Foundation CEO Sandeep Nailwal shared the milestone in July 2026, and if you’ve been watching the network’s trajectory this year, the number shouldn’t come as a shock.
Here’s the thing: this isn’t an isolated spike. It’s the crescendo of a quarter that saw Polygon process a record 743 million transactions in Q2 2026 alone, representing an increase of over 160% compared to the same period last year.
The numbers behind the record
The weekly record is impressive on its own, but zoom out and the picture gets more interesting. Polygon’s daily transaction volume has climbed to approximately 7.5 million, with around 554,000 active addresses engaging with the network each day.
For context, the network’s previous single-day peak was over 16.4 million transactions, recorded back in November 2023. What’s different now is the consistency: the chain is sustaining multi-million transaction days as a baseline, not as an anomaly.
