An Ethereum scaling network for low-cost, high-throughput DeFi, games, wallets, and consumer applications.
Polygon PoS is an Ethereum scaling network for low-cost, high-throughput DeFi, games, wallets, and consumer applications. Its EVM compatibility lets teams use familiar Ethereum tooling while serving users with fast transactions and lower fees.

--data '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber"}'Use the interface and request shown above for an initial check, then test the methods and traffic pattern your application actually needs.
Choose a shared RPC plan by response-unit allowance and peak throughput. Method weights and network-specific availability still apply.
Plan figures checked 8 November 2026. RU are not always raw requests; WebSocket responses also count toward limits. Check the current pricing and this network's method documentation. Node charges and applicable taxes are additional.
Polygon PoS separates execution from consensus. Bor is the EVM execution and block-production layer that processes transactions and serves the Ethereum-compatible RPC methods used by applications. Heimdall is the validator and consensus layer that validates Bor blocks, coordinates block producers, and checkpoints Bor state to Ethereum. The Polygon PoS RPC endpoint is the developer-facing gateway to Bor: when an app calls eth_call, eth_getLogs, or submits a transaction, Bor handles the request while Heimdall provides validator coordination, finality, and Ethereum anchoring behind the scenes.
Plan access around the requests, operational requirements and release workflow your application needs.
Start with a connection check, then validate the reads, transactions or data workflows required by your application.
Review method-specific limits, plan allowances and usage before increasing traffic. Different methods can consume different response units.
Use your real client region and request pattern when evaluating latency, retries and service availability.
