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, or historical report.

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 How to Use POL Value for definitions, boundaries, and interpretation.
Use Polygon Chain
The Polygon Chain product presents Polygon Chain economics as a connected flow:
- Networks Activity shows transaction activity and network usage;
- Fees shows fee generation and its base-fee and priority-fee context;
- Fee Distribution shows base fees flowing toward the Burn Collector and priority fees branching to staking funding, validator payments, and block-producer allocations.
The expanded Supply section is part of POL Value. Use POL Staking for native and liquid staking.
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 the How to Use Polygon Chain for section-level definitions.
Use the POL Tokenomics Calculator
Read the POL Tokenomics research for the underlying mechanics. Its Calculator section lets you change network activity, POL price, and annual issuance, then compare fees, net burn accrual, new POL issuance, and net supply change over a 30-day window.
The calculator also shows how much issuance burn offsets and the activity threshold at which the two match under your assumptions. Controls are available immediately; Reset inputs restores the observed reference assumptions. Read the calculation guide for formulas and limits.
Use Polygon Validators
Open Polygon Validators to search, filter, and sort Polygon validators. A useful review combines:
- reported monitoring status and public notices;
- commission and reported checkpoint signing, whose observation window is not supplied;
- total stake, delegator positions and operator type;
- side-by-side comparison of two or three validators;
- 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.
Verify A Number
Use the same workflow for supply, burn, emission, fees, or validator metrics:
- identify the exact label and time period in the product;
- read the corresponding concept guide;
- check the formula and included or excluded components in Methodology & Data Sources;
- follow the primary-source links to the relevant contract, PIP, transaction, or block range;
- state any definition or timing difference before comparing POLTRACK with another tracker.
