Frequently Asked Questions

What is Polygon?

Polygon began as Plasma-based sidechains and evolved into a multi-chain ecosystem that now includes the PoS network and zkEVM and CDK stacks for zero-knowledge rollups.

How to get Polygon RPC endpoint?

Open a free Chainstack account, then access your console. Hit Add node, pick the Polygon network, and spin up your node with one click. Once it’s up, click Access & credentials and take your personal RPC endpoint into your dApp.

How to run a Polygon node?

Start a Global Node on Chainstack and you’re serving Polygon PoS RPC the same hour. Prefer isolation and higher rate limits? Spin up a Dedicated Node that only your apps touch. Going self-hosted forces you through Heimdall, Bor, sentry layers, and days of state syncs.

What is Polygon RPC API?

Polygon PoS delivers the full Ethereum JSON-RPC along with Bor-specific debug traces. It supports HTTP and WebSocket so high-throughput dApps can stream events in real time. Gas units returned by eth_gasPrice are denominated in MATIC and reflect the network’s low fees.

How much does it cost to run a Polygon RPC?

For Polygon PoS, full nodes hover around US $100 / month while archive nodes with Heimdall + Bor can double that. Network churn and dual-client upkeep add hidden labor costs. Most projects save money by sourcing Polygon RPC from Chainstack or another specialized provider.

Is Polygon RPC free?

Free community Polygon endpoints are available, but they lag or time out when network usage surges. Chainstack offers 3 million monthly Polygon requests on its free plan with built-in load balancing.

How to setup a Polygon RPC?

Copy your Polygon node URL from Chainstack Console. Paste it into Wallet Connect / MetaMask or set it as rpc_url in your backend to route all calls to Polygon through Chainstack.

Notes for Polygon API

When communicating with a Polygon RPC node, the Polygon client implements a JSON-RPC specification, a communication protocol allowing one to make remote calls and execute them as if they were made locally.

The Polygon API allows developers to communicate with the Polygon blockchain to build applications. The best way to use the Polygon API is to use a web3 library such as ethers.js if using JavaScript or web3.py using Python.
