Polygonscan

Polygon PoS chain explorer

Overview

What Polygonscan does

Polygonscan is the official block explorer for Polygon PoS chain, enabling users to track transactions, explore tokens, and verify smart contracts on the Polygon network.

What people use it for

  • Exploring Polygon transactions, addresses and token transfers
  • Verifying and reading Polygon smart contract source code
  • Querying Polygon on-chain data through the explorer API

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Polygonscan.

  • The PolygonScan API page now redirects to Etherscan's unified multichain API pricing, so Polygon data is bought under Etherscan plans rather than a PolygonScan-specific one
  • The free API plan is capped at 3 calls per second and 100,000 calls per day and requires attribution
  • API Pro endpoints start at the Standard plan at $199 per month
  • Rate limits top out at 30 calls per second even on the $899 per month Pro Plus plan
  • Metadata CSV export and dedicated support require Metadata Enterprise, which is quoted by contact with no published price

Softwr does not host reviews and shows no star rating for Polygonscan, because a rating we did not collect is not ours to publish. What is here is the pricing and platform detail from the vendor’s own pages, limitations we could state concretely, and alternatives a reviewer confirmed people weigh against it. Tell us if any of it is wrong.
