Polygon will activate the Lisovo hardfork on mainnet before block 83,756,500, with the upgrade expected at approximately 14:00 UTC on March 4, 2026. The announcement arrives as POL trades near $0.106 to $0.11 following a recent recovery. At press time, POL was trading at $0.1069, up 3.68% over the last 24 hours.
Polygon Foundation said: “The Lisovo hardfork will be released on Polygon mainnet before block number 83756500, at approximately 2pm UTC on Mar 4.” Market participants are monitoring both the protocol changes and short-term price levels.
The Lisovo upgrade includes subsidized gas costs for agent-to-agent payments under PIP-82, aimed at supporting automated transactions and AI-driven activity on-chain. It also updates smart contract compatibility via the Count Leading Zeros opcode update.
Additional changes include improved support for passkey-based wallets and a more flexible fee adjustment system, intended to enhance transaction delivery and validation reliability.
Node operators are expected to upgrade their software before activation to maintain synchronization after the hardfork. The foundation advised updating Bor to version v2.6.0 or Erigon to v3.4.0.
Polygon continues to advance its Gigagas roadmap, which targets 100,000 transactions per second. The network recently reported $3.28 billion in stablecoins, marking a new high. Separately, Polygon Brazil’s largest foreign exchange bank expanded its BBRL stablecoin to Polygon (POLY).
Exchange reserve data points to early stabilization, with reserves flattening—often interpreted as a sign that large deposits to exchanges may be slowing. Lower reserves can correspond to reduced short-term selling pressure.
At the same time, the number of withdrawing addresses has declined, suggesting holders may be less actively moving tokens. This could indicate a wait-and-see stance ahead of the hardfork.
Mean exchange inflows also fell over the past 24 hours. Lower inflows may reduce immediate sell pressure, though reduced activity can also reflect weaker demand. Overall, the metrics are mixed as the hardfork approaches, with traders focusing on price structure and technical indicators.
POL rallied strongly in early January, peaking near $0.18 to $0.19. The token then entered a corrective phase with lower highs and lower lows, later forming a base around $0.09 to $0.10 before moving into a sideways range.
Currently, POL trades in a horizontal range between $0.09 support and $0.12 resistance. The $0.10 level remains a key psychological support. Near-term resistance is at $0.115 to $0.12, previously acting as a rejection zone.
If POL closes above $0.12 with sustained momentum, upside targets cited include $0.14 and $0.15, with a potential move toward $0.18 if buying pressure continues. On the downside, a break below $0.10 could trigger a retest of $0.095 and $0.09.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
