Polygon's Lisovo Hardfork Nears as $POL Price Surges

Polygon's Lisovo hardfork is scheduled to take place on March 4, 2026, with the upgrade expected to introduce subsidized gas costs for agent-to-agent payments under PIP-82. This feature aims to support automated transactions and AI-driven activity on-chain.

The hardfork will also improve smart contract compatibility through the Count Leading Zeros opcode update, enhance support for passkey-based wallets, and introduce a more flexible fee adjustment system. These changes are designed to improve transaction delivery and validation reliability.
