PolygonScan

Polygonscan is a blockchain explorer and analytics platform for the Polygon network, providing a searchable interface to view on-chain data for Polygon transactions, addresses, blocks, tokens, and contracts. It allows users to look up wallet addresses to see balances, transaction history, token holdings, and internal transactions, and it offers a block explorer with metadata such as block height, timestamp, miner, and gas metrics.

The platform includes a token tracker for ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens, showing token supply, holders, transfers, and contract source code verification. Developers can verify smart contracts by submitting source code to be matched with deployed bytecode, enabling easier auditing and transparency. Polygonscan also provides an API with endpoints for retrieving account data, transaction lists, block data, token information, and contract events, typically requiring an API key and subject to rate limits.

In addition to search and analytics, Polygonscan offers gas price data, network statistics, and links to DApps and transactions. It is commonly used by developers, traders, and researchers to inspect on-chain activity, monitor token movements, or debug smart contracts on Polygon. Polygonscan serves a similar role to Etherscan but is tailored to Polygon’s architecture, including its sidechains and Layer 2 scaling solutions, as a central resource for transparency and accessibility of on-chain data.
