Polygon proposed a new fee model to address the situation of token prices dropping over 60% in a year and increasing competition

According to market news, the Ethereum Layer 2 network Polygon has proposed a new fee model proposal PIP-85, aimed at reversing the decline of its native token POL, which has dropped over 60% in the past year, and addressing competition from Base and Arbitrum.

The proposal will redistribute 50% of priority fee revenue to network validators and delegators, and adjust the distribution of validator rewards from being based on staking size to being based on contribution performance. In the remaining validator pool, 75% will be distributed based on contribution rather than staking size, while 25% will still be distributed according to existing staking weight. The author mentioned in the proposal that implementing this proposal does not require any direct on-chain changes.
