F.A.Q.

A Polygon RPC node is an infrastructure endpoint that lets your dApp communicate with the Polygon PoS blockchain. It processes JSON-RPC calls — reading blockchain data, submitting transactions, and subscribing to events — without requiring you to run your own node.
Polygon is fully EVM-compatible, meaning all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods (eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_sendRawTransaction, etc.) work identically on Polygon. You can use the same libraries — ethers.js, web3.js, viem — just pointing to a Polygon endpoint.
All major wallets support Polygon RPC connections including MetaMask, WalletConnect-compatible wallets, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, and hardware wallets via EVM bridges. Add Polygon Mainnet (Chain ID: 137) or Amoy testnet (Chain ID: 80002) using your GetBlock endpoint URL.
Low-latency Polygon RPC enables real-time gaming experiences, high-frequency DeFi trading, instant NFT minting and transfers, and reliable oracle price feeds. Sub-50ms response times are especially critical for latency-sensitive applications like on-chain games and DEX aggregators.
The most-used methods are eth_getBalance (read wallet balances), eth_sendRawTransaction (submit signed transactions), eth_getLogs (query contract events), eth_call (read contract state), and eth_getTransactionReceipt (confirm transaction status). All standard Ethereum methods are available.
Yes. GetBlock's Polygon WebSocket endpoints support eth_subscribe for real-time subscriptions to new block headers (newHeads), pending transactions (newPendingTransactions), and contract event logs (logs). This powers live dashboards, wallets, and trading bots.
The Polygon Chain API refers to the full JSON-RPC interface exposed by Polygon PoS nodes. It's identical to Ethereum's JSON-RPC API, extended with Polygon-specific methods for the Bor/Heimdall consensus layer. GetBlock provides access to both the standard and extended APIs.
Yes. PolygonScan (polygonscan.com) is the primary block explorer for Polygon Mainnet, and OKLink also supports Polygon. For Amoy testnet, amoy.polygonscan.com is available. GetBlock's archive nodes provide the same historical data powering these explorers via RPC.
