#PI With the launch of the Rio upgrade on the Mainnet, Polygon's native Token POL has risen by 3% to $0.24. This upgrade introduces stateless validation, near-instant finality, and lightweight Nodes, significantly reducing storage requirements while achieving a throughput of 5000 TPS. This payment-centric upgrade is realized through three PIPs, eliminating chain reorganization and lowering participation costs, enabling Polygon to enter the Web3 payment and real-world asset markets.
