When people mention Polygon, they may think of the on-chain situation that "explodes" from time to time. When people mention sats, they think of its huge supply and the enthusiasm of the community for this inscription.
The two seem to have nothing to do with each other. However, when sats’ “isomer”, pols, was discovered on Polygon, it ignited the enthusiasm for inscriptions on this old blockchain, and even pushed Polygon’s gas fee to over 2,000. As of press time, the gas fee has approached the 2,700 mark and is heading towards 3,000. The number of transactions on Polygon also exceeded 6.1 million, reaching a peak for the year.

Pols is called the "isomer" of sats because both have the same huge supply. The difference is that Polygon's gas fee is very cheap compared to ETH and BTC, which makes the cost of playing a pols much lower than sats. At the same time, the Little Fox wallet, which everyone has, makes it convenient for users to operate, so the manual team and the mechanical team began to compete with each other secretly.


The cheap transaction fees also prompted the community to start Fomo. Polygon's gas fee almost increased tenfold in one day. As more and more people learned how to print in batches with scripts, the number of pols that had not yet been mined was decreasing.
In fact, the front-end of EVM.ink has long been overwhelmed by the influx of players. Whether it is the percentage of minting, the number of holders, or the number of pols held by oneself, they cannot be displayed normally. The developer of EVM.ink said: "Man, there are 60,000 people on the website now."

The actual data can be viewed on Dune. As of press time, there are nearly 70,000 pols holding addresses, and a total of 9.5 million pols inscriptions have been minted, including some "scientists" with thousands or even tens of thousands of pols inscriptions in a single address.

Regardless of the outcome, the Gas craze caused by Polygon’s inscriptions shows how influential and attractive the inscription ecosystem is in the crypto community at this moment. This outburst of enthusiasm also shows players’ confidence in the new project Fomo, and also reveals their confidence in the market from the side—bull back, come back quickly. Can pols bring new stories of getting rich to the community like sats? We will keep an eye on it.
