Polygon PoS

This page lists what Farbeam reads on Polygon PoS. Live values are on the Polygon PoS data page. The API returns the same facts from Get a chain.

#What is indexed

Head, fees and recent blocks only. Large transfers are not stored on this chain. The curated tokens below are used for wallet balances and wallet activity.

#Curated tokens

The curated tokens page explains the list and its prices.

#Sources

#Measured values

These figures are a snapshot from the API at 2026-11-04T19:33:40.040Z UTC. They are examples, and they change on every poll. They are not targets.

#Quirks

• No index. large_transfer_index is false. /transfers?chain=polygon returns an empty page with status 200, and a rule with chain == "polygon" is valid but never matches. Indexing here is Planned.
• Native asset is POL. Wallet values use the CoinGecko id polygon-ecosystem-token.
• High gwei values are normal. base_fee_gwei read about 248 in the capture. POL has a low unit price, so compare costs in USD and not in gwei.
• WETH here is bridged. The listed WETH on Polygon is a bridged token. It is priced as ethereum. WPOL is not curated.
• Source ids differ. GeckoTerminal uses polygon_pos. The API id is always polygon.

#Try it

curl -s "https://farbeamlabs.com/api/v1/chains/polygon"

const res = await fetch("https://farbeamlabs.com/api/v1/chains/polygon");
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data.status.status, data.status.head, data.tokens.length);

import requests

data = requests.get("https://farbeamlabs.com/api/v1/chains/polygon", timeout=30).json()["data"]
print(data["status"]["status"], data["status"]["head"], len(data["tokens"]))

Since this chain has no index, use Recent blocks and Gas and fees for chain-level data, and use direct lookups for addresses.
