- Polygon PoS implements Napoli hard fork, integrating Dencun upgrades and RIP-7212.
- RIP-7212 introduces precompile support for secp256r1 curve, enhancing interoperability.
- The collaborative effort among Layer 2 projects signals a collective push for Ethereum scaling.
Polygon PoS sidechain has propelled Ethereum’s scalability efforts with the successful execution of the Napoli hard fork, marking a significant milestone in blockchain technology.
This transformative upgrade introduces groundbreaking features from Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade, alongside the activation of RIP-7212, signalling a new era of interoperability and efficiency.
Napoli Hard Fork enhancements
Polygon’s implementation of the Napoli hard fork brings forth three pivotal upgrades derived from Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade.
A standout feature of the Napoli hard fork is the activation of RIP-7212 on the Polygon PoS sidechain, making it the pioneer network to support this advancement.
As part of today’s Napoli Hard Fork, Polygon PoS became the first chain to activate a Rollup Improvement Proposal (RIP) with RIP-7212, bringing support for a new precompile for the secp256r1 curve!

Developed by RollCall, RIP-7212 introduces precompile support for the secp256r1 curve, fostering greater interoperability with mainstream technologies. This collaborative effort among Layer 2 projects, including ZkSync Era and Optimism, underscores a collective push towards Ethereum’s scaling evolution.
Polygon’s upcoming Feijoa upgrade is poised to incorporate support for EIP-4844, a critical fee-reducing enhancement featured in Dencun, further solidifying its commitment to advancing Ethereum’s scalability solutions.
The community-driven approach is evident as Polygon community contributors propose additional changes for future hard forks, such as EIP-3074 and PIP-30, aimed at enhancing developer options and increasing code size limits.
David Silverman, VP of product at Polygon Labs, emphasizes the pivotal role of RollCall in propelling Layer 2 solutions as integral components of Ethereum’s scaling strategy. The Ethereum ecosystem recognizes Layer 2s as innovation hubs, fostering a conducive environment for user onboarding and continuous improvement.
With RIP-7212 integration and ongoing enhancements, Polygon reaffirms its commitment to advancing blockchain technology and addressing scalability challenges, ushering in a new era of decentralized possibilities.
Floki Inu is being embraced by the football industry as part of the token’s aggressive marketing campaign
Meme cryptocurrency Floki Inu has scored a partnership with SSC Napoli, one of the most successful Italian professional football clubs of all time, according to an announcement made on Tuesday.
As part of the deal, players will be wearing the logo and the website of the canine token on the back of their jerseys.
Floki Inu will also be advertised on LED screens around the football pitch during all home games.
Founded all the way back in 1926, SSC Napoli is the fifth biggest earner in the Serie A league. The club also boasts one of the biggest fan bases in Italy.
SSC Napoli has already dabbled into the world of crypto. Last month, it announced a tie-up with popular engagement blockchain Chiliz to launch its own fan token.
As reported by U.Today, Floki Inu also announced a deal with Kerala Blasters FC, the most followed club in India, earlier this November.
This came after the Shiba Inu rival faced a severe backlash over its aggressive marketing blitz in London.
