PolygonScan is the primary, free blockchain explorer and analytics platform for the Polygon PoS chain, developed by the Etherscan team. It allows users to search, verify, and monitor transactions, wallet balances, smart contracts, and NFT activity in real-time.
Launched in June 2021, PolygonScan quickly became the go-to tool for anyone interacting with the Polygon network. Whether you are a developer verifying smart contracts, an investor tracking wallet balances, or a casual user checking a transaction status, PolygonScan provides the data you need in a clear and accessible interface.
The Polygon network processes nearly 7 million transactions per day, and PolygonScan handles this high volume effortlessly by leveraging the same infrastructure that powers Etherscan for the Ethereum blockchain.
Key Features of PolygonScan
PolygonScan offers a comprehensive set of tools designed to make blockchain data transparent and accessible to everyone. Its block explorer functionality is the core of the platform, providing a live feed of every block and transaction on the Polygon PoS chain.
Transaction tracking is one of the most widely used features. By entering a transaction hash, users can instantly see the status of a transfer, the sender and recipient addresses, the amount of POL or tokens moved, the gas fee paid, and the number of block confirmations received.
The smart contract verification system allows developers to publish their contract source code on PolygonScan, making it auditable by anyone. Users can read the verified code, interact with contract functions directly through the interface, and analyze event logs.
