About the data & methodology

About the data

Understanding the 2026 report

This report aggregates Polygon PoS activity from January 1, 2026 through the displayed data cutoff. YTD describes the observed part of the calendar year. An in-progress month or quarter is provisional; future periods without observations are not zero-activity periods.

Report data through · 2026-11-11 · UTC

Metric definitions

Network fees · POL and USD: Base fees plus priority fees. USD totals sum each day’s fees converted at that day’s POL price, rather than revaluing annual POL fees at today’s price.
Average USD per transaction: Total USD fees divided by total transactions in the period. This is a transaction-weighted cost, not the simple average of daily costs.
Gas utilization and fee rates: Daily utilization averages block gas-used/gas-limit ratios. Monthly utilization and gwei rates average observed daily values. Fee rates per gas differ from total transaction costs.

Methodology and sources

Polygon block data supplies daily fees, transaction counts and gas metrics; daily price observations provide USD conversion. Report totals follow calendar periods. For current rolling windows, use the live dashboards below.
