Priority fees (PF) are coming - Here’s how it works: • Rewards are distributed from net PF • Net = Gross PF - infra costs Exact pool tier % share TBA, but one thing is clear: Bigger validator pool => higher % distributed to delegators StakeBaby #118 ; PathrockNetwork #45

Snapshot 1: March 31, 2026 00:00 UTC Snapshot 2: April 30, 2026 00:00 UTC Only delegators staked the full month qualify for the May 1st distribution (from April priority fees) Full details dropping very soon StakeBaby #118 PathrockNetwork #45 @pathrock2

For the long-term security of the Polygon network, every validator must maintain top-tier performance and reliability But high-quality infrastructure isn’t free. Validators cannot sustainably run at a loss That's why we should implement the base payment Read more below👇

123× difference in pay. Same job. @Coinbase received 1,709,782 POL in priority fees from the latest @0xPolygon payout. Stakebaby received 13,900. Same performance requirements. Same network. This is why @LegendNodes and I wrote a second PIP: Base Reward for Priority Fee Distribution. A flat base reward covers infrastructure costs for every performing validator — before the rest is distributed proportionally. Small validators survive. Large validators still earn more. The network keeps all 105 nodes. Read it here: forum.polygon.technology/t/pre-pip-base…

@LegendNodes @sandeepnailwal Just moved my Stake. Thanks for doing this, it will push other Validators to do the same or fix the system.

We're not waiting for the PIP — StakeBaby Validator (#118) is starting to share priority fees with delegators ASAP First snapshot on March 31, 2026 00:00 UTC. Full details + % by end of month Inspired by @sandeepnailwal’s spirit about extra yield for $POL stakers

Honestly the part that gets me here is how fast it moved. Community member sees a better way to handle delegator rewards, writes the full PIP himself, and the team pushes it through governance the same day. No committee meetings, no six month review cycle. Someone did the work because they gave a damn and we moved on it. That's the Polygon I want to run. If that ever changes feel free to @ me all you want 😂

I have no doubt that more validators will follow this initiative Delegators should be part of the priority fees. Period They are like the pool “shareholders” and should be entitled for priority fee “dividends”

@HopmansJust @chohunjang @LegendNodes @0xPolygon Stakebaby already up. Really goes to show that people needed that change.

Two @0xPolygon validators are about to share priority fees with their delegators. The PIP isn’t even reviewed yet — but they’re already starting. From March 31, @LegendNodes (Stakebaby #118) and @pathrock2 (PathrockNetwork #45) are leading by example. I wrote the first PIP — Priority Fee Sharing for Delegators: forum.polygon.technology/t/pip-priority… Now together, we’re co-authoring a second for @0xPolygon: Base Reward for Priority Fee Distribution — coming soon. “Community member sees a better way, writes the full PIP himself, and the team pushes it through governance the same day.” — @sandeepnailwal The community is doing exactly that. Again. Like and comment if you support what we’re building.

@chohunjang @HopmansJust @0xPolygon It's much appreciated, and I'm confident you'll delegate more in the end I totally believe that those who have skin in the game (delegators) should be rewarded the most Validators should earn decent profit in order to provide superior perfromance, but not for becoming rich

That’s the spirit! Sharing priority fees with the delegators! It’s the right think to do that will benefit everyone - delegators, validators & the Polygon network

pathrock@pathrock2

PathrockNetwork @0xPolygon validator 45 will join the initiative of sharing priority fees with our delegators We‘ll be closely working with @LegendNodes to be on the same page

@smokey_ just stepped into a new role to shape the $POL narrative. But what is the actual @0xPolygon narrative right now? The top 5 validators take 42% of last month’s $653K in priority fees.What can they do? Hold a declining asset — or sell. The rational choice is clear. 30,834 delegators provide 99.67% of the capital. They earn 2.91% shrinking inflation. No priority fees. Same choice. Same conclusion. The infrastructure works. Polygon just fixed gas pricing. Fees are predictable. The network is ready for volume. That’s why we see increasing network revenue. But the burn makes the current distribution worse. Total supply is shrinking — while one group accumulates $POL exponentially faster than the other. The pie gets smaller while a few take bigger slices. The economics don’t work. There’s no reason to hold $POL. A PIP in review changes this. Share priority fees through the commission system. Turn the rational choice from sell to hold. As @LegendNodes put it: without sharing, validators get a lot of $POL that becomes worthless. With sharing, everyone gets less $POL that’s worth a lot more. You can’t build a narrative on top of broken economics. Fix the economics first. The narrative follows. What can’t be undone is the fact that the people who believe most in the protocol are being served last. I started looking into this three weeks ago with a simple question: am I earning priority fees? I wasn’t. Nobody told me. So I researched it, posted it, and wrote a PIP. This has to change. And for the first time, I believe it will. Like, follow, and comment “analysis” for the full validator payout breakdown — every validator, every fee, every number.

smokey@Smokey_

3 years ago I was hired at @0xPolygon to work on community. Since then I’ve had the chance to: • support builders launching on Polygon • grow global community channels • build creator + ambassador programs • help amplify the ecosystem narrative Recently I stepped into a new role focused on product marketing for POL. Excited to spend more time working on the narrative around how POL powers the Polygon ecosystem. Grateful to keep building with an incredible team and community.

@thewhiterabbitM Validators don’t increase their rewards. It should be set to minimum 10% by the protocol, and in the second phase to be paid mainly in USDC without defining any commission Currently validator with 5% commission run their operation in a loss (making $550 per month)

The White Rabbit@thewhiterabbitM·3d

I’m literally seeing people around already complaining about lower staking rewards… just wait until validators start increasing their commissions that’s when the real “experts” will come out of nowhere and discover tokenomics overnight

For validators, there is nothing more logical than sharing priority fees If not sharing - we’ll get a lot of $POL that will eventually be worthless due to lack of demand (who will want to hold it?!) However by sharing we’ll get less $POL that will be worth A LOT in $ value

Just Hopmans@HopmansJust

@0xPolygon will become one of the highest real yield tokens on the market. 30,834 delegators provide 99.67% of all staked capital. They earn 2.91% from shrinking inflation. Priority fees — $653K last month — go entirely to validators. That’s about to change. @sandeepnailwal has publicly endorsed the PIP to start sharing priority fees with delegators. @davidsilverman has been engaging with validators and delegators on the topic. @LegendNodes has publicly committed to sharing priority fees with their delegators. @Smokey_ recently shared he stepped into a new role focused on “product marketing for POL” and “the narrative around how POL powers the ecosystem.” Why this matters beyond crypto: Real yield is the single most important metric for traditional finance. It’s the only number they truly understand. Revenue generated by network activity, shared with the people who secure it. If this PIP passes, $POL staking yield goes from 2.91% shrinking inflation to up to 8% real yield on top — from actual network usage. 3x higher than ETH. More stakers, more security, more activity, more fees. Everyone wins. That changes everything about how you value $POL. Like, follow, and comment “yield” for the full analysis.
