ProBit Global Completes Polygon (POL) Network Hardfork

An announcement of ProBit Global, a popular cryptocurrency exchange, shows that they have already completed the Polygon (POL) network hardfork. The update is a major one that aids in making Polygon faster and more secretive. The network upgrade occurred at the beginning of the morning on September 17, 2025 (00:37 UTC, or 06:07 AM IST). And since then, consumers could again deposit and withdraw POL tokens on ProBit Global. This hardfork is a part of the larger project of the Polygon team to upgrade the system. It introduces emerging technology which helps the transactions to be faster and secure.

What Is zkRollup Technology?

zkRollup is an acronym, which translates to Zero-Knowledge Rollup. The concept of having a large number of transactions and recording them to Ethereum blockchain is convenient. Instead of the transactions being processed individually on a case by case basis, many are put together. This both saves time and money.

More importantly, zkRollups use special cryptography. This helps in ensuring secrecy of transactions. Users need not bother about exposing their information. Chainlink reports that the practice is widespread and becoming one of the significant aspects of modern blockchains.

POL Token and How It Works

Polygon’s token is called POL. As of the beginning of September 2025, 10.5 billion POL tokens had to be in circulation. The new upgrade allows staking of tokens to the POL holders. Staking means pledging your tokens in order to enable the network to operate. Holders in their turn are rewarded. This helps in getting a hold on the system as the holders can receive the financial benefits.

Another area of interest by Polygon is to become a big player in decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Polygon Network will have more applications and users since they will have an opportunity to carry out transactions more quickly and inexpensively.

ProBit Global role in the Upgrade

ProBit Global was able to do this to its customers, especially by restoring the deposits and withdrawals within hours of the hard-fork. This shows the importance of the exchanges enhancing their utilization using the most recent technology. ProBit Global supports over 800 altcoins and 1,000 markets. Now users can exchange POL with the most popular coins including the USDT and BTC. The exchange site also displayed set guidelines on the site and the users were able to navigate to the new system.

The update makes ProBit Global a powerhouse in the crypto world. Other exchanges have also previously in 2025 upgraded the Polygon support of Bybit. This shows that the market is leaning strongly to the high end solutions like zkRollups. The Polygon hardfork is not a technical update only. It is an expression of the growing privacy and scalability anxiety. According to industry reports, approximately 26 percent of the existing projects in Ethereum Layer 2 are already using the technology of Zero-Knowledge. This is a good news to developers. The market is reacting to the upgrade and there is free trade of POL amongst users.
