Using POLTRACK

POLTRACK is free to use and does not require an account. Use this guide to choose the fastest route to a live metric, validator comparison, historical report, or reusable data file.

Choose A Task

Use POL Value

Open POL Value for a compact view of how Polygon Chain economics reach the POL token. It connects network fees, POL burn, protocol emissions, validator and staker rewards, treasury funding, cumulative value capture, and Total Supply.

Use the period selector to compare recent economic flows. Read POL Value for definitions, boundaries, and interpretation.

Use Polygon Tokenomics

The Polygon Tokenomics product presents Polygon Chain economics as a connected flow:

• Rails shows transaction activity and network usage;
• Fees shows fee generation and its base-fee and priority-fee context;
• Value Flow connects fee routing and POL emission to burn, treasury, validators, and stakers;
• Supply shows Total Supply, On-chain Supply, Burn Adjustment, Estimated Liquid Supply, staking, and the historical/projected supply graph;
• POL Token adds price, market-cap, and staking-yield context without making price predictions.

Dashboard economics are refreshed against public source data on a rolling basis. Individual sources and settlement events can update at different times, so a recently executed batch may appear after its underlying fee-collection period.

Read Polygon Tokenomics for section-level definitions.

Run a tokenomics simulation

Select What if? Run a scenario near the top of the product. The simulation starts at 1× activity, the current POL price, and 2% annual inflation. Change any input to recalculate fees, POL-denominated burn, emission-funded staking APR, 30-day Total Supply Change, and the projected Total Supply path. PIP-85 staker fee sharing is inactive in POLTRACK: it is not modeled or included in the APR, chart, or scenario allocations.

Simulation mode is a sensitivity tool, not a forecast. Read Polygon Tokenomics Simulator before interpreting extreme scenarios.

Use Polygon Validators

Open Polygon Validators to search, filter, and sort Polygon validators. A useful review combines:

• active status and checkpoint performance;
• commission and delegator count;
• total stake and concentration;
• POLTRACK Score, confidence, and coverage-aware profile labels;
• observed PIP-65 fee-distribution history;
• operator information on the validator detail page.

No single rank or metric proves that a validator is the best choice. Read Polygon Validators for product definitions and Validators & Staking for the underlying concepts.

Review The Annual Report

The Annual Report provides year-level context for Polygon Chain fees, transactions, gas dynamics, hardforks, client releases, and network events.

Use the live dashboard for current conditions and rolling windows. Use the report when you need monthly comparisons or an explanation of how protocol and client changes affected fees over time.

Download Public Snapshots

POLTRACK publishes one public snapshot in two formats:

• JSON snapshot for scripts, applications, and structured analysis;
• CSV snapshot for spreadsheets, notebooks, and BI tools;
• Snapshot manifest for the source date, units, definitions, policy versions, publication timestamp, and file checksums.

The files are refreshed daily from one shared snapshot. They represent the latest published POLTRACK snapshot rather than a historical archive. The CSV retains its existing section,key,date,value columns; headline rows take their date/period from the manifest. JSON retains schema version 2.0 and includes snapshotId and manifestUrl. The manifest identifies calculation policies separately from the file schema version.

For reproducible reuse, save the manifest with the downloaded CSV or JSON and verify its SHA-256 checksum. The response header X-POLTRACK-Snapshot-Id identifies the shared snapshot in all three formats. If a refresh occurs between requests, fetch the files again until their IDs/checksums match. The publication timestamp is not the observation time of every input: market prices can have a newer source timestamp than the daily accounting cutoff.

Python example:

import csv
import hashlib
import io
import json
import urllib.request

with urllib.request.urlopen("https://poltrack.io/data/snapshot.manifest.json") as response:
    manifest = json.load(response)
with urllib.request.urlopen("https://poltrack.io/data/snapshot.csv") as response:
    csv_bytes = response.read()
if hashlib.sha256(csv_bytes).hexdigest() != manifest["csv"]["sha256"]:
    raise RuntimeError("Snapshot refreshed between requests; download both files again")
print("Source date:", manifest["sourceAsOf"])
for row in csv.DictReader(io.StringIO(csv_bytes.decode("utf-8"))):
    print(row)

JavaScript example:

const response = await fetch("https://poltrack.io/data/snapshot.json");
const snapshot = await response.json();
console.log(snapshot);

Public reuse is covered by the POLTRACK Data License. Attribute POLTRACK, link to the source, and disclose material transformations.

Verify A Number

Use the same workflow for supply, burn, emission, fees, or validator metrics:

1. identify the exact label and time period in the product;
2. read the corresponding concept guide;
3. check the formula and included or excluded components in Methodology & Data Sources;
4. follow the primary-source links to the relevant contract, PIP, transaction, or block range;
5. state any definition or timing difference before comparing POLTRACK with another tracker.
