What is a Polygon node?

A Polygon node is a computer or server with a pre-installed software client that participates in the network, maintaining a copy of the blockchain and validating transactions and smart contracts.

How to run a Polygon node?

To run a Polygon node, you need to set up the necessary software and configurations on a computer or server, connect it to the network, and synchronize with the blockchain.

What is a Polygon (MATIC) full node?

A MATIC full node is a type of node that stores a complete copy of the blockchain and validates all transactions and smart contracts on the network.

What is the Polygon RPC?

Polygon RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a communication protocol that allows developers to interact with the blockchain. It enables them to send requests and receive responses to access and manipulate data on the network.

How does MATIC API work?

The MATIC API provides a set of endpoints that developers can use to access various functionalities of the network. It allows them to retrieve blockchain data, interact with smart contracts, and perform other operations programmatically.

Polygon APIS FOR DAPPS

Polygon RPC: Why should you choose it?

Launched in 2017 as Matic Network, Polygon gained popularity as a second-layer scalability solution for Ethereum network. Via its own Proof-of-Stake (PoS) design, it bundled up Ethereum transactions to reduce the usage of its computational resources.

Polygon network is the most popular smart contracts platform in EVM ecosystem. It is fully compatible with Ethereum but is able to process transactions way faster and cheaper.
In 2021, the Matic blockchain re-branded to Polygon Network and started promoting itself as a one-stop scalability hub for dApps on Ethereum. MATIC RPC nodes on-boarded thousands of dApps since.
Its core native asset is called MATIC. It serves as a gas fee currency for all users of Polygon APIs and can be used in governance referendums.
