POLTRACK
Open, on-chain analytics for Polygon PoS economics.
POLTRACK tracks POL token economics, validator performance, and staking analytics using deterministic on-chain reads and public APIs. Every metric on the dashboard is reproducible from publicly available data. Nothing is inferred from off-chain pricing feeds or proprietary models.
What POLTRACK covers
- POL token economics — circulating supply, net issuance, daily minting, permanent base-fee burn, and legacy MATIC dead-address burn. Deflationary windows (burn > mint) are surfaced directly on the dashboard.
- Fee flow — base fees (burned) and priority fees (distributed). Priority fees are tracked per-batch under PIP-65 (74% to all validators by stake, 26% to the elected block producer).
- Staking — total staked supply, staking share of net supply, per-validator stake, commission rates, delegator counts, checkpoint performance, and modeled APR components.
- Validator analytics — 100+ Polygon validators with POLTRACK Score (0–100), auto-computed tags (zero-fee, well-distributed, retail-friendly, whale-risk, high-performance, growing, declining, and more), and PIP-65 income history.
- Inflation and supply deltas — rolling 30-day net issuance, annualized inflation rate, and cumulative burn since POL migration.
How POLTRACK differs
- On-chain primary — supply, burn, mint, and staking are read directly from Polygon and Ethereum smart contracts. Third-party endpoints are used only where chain data is not available (e.g., validator metadata, prices).
- Deterministic methodology — every metric has a documented formula. See Methodology for exact calculations and reconciliation procedures.
- Public datasets — daily snapshots published as JSON and CSV at
/data/snapshot.jsonand/data/snapshot.csv. Reusable under the POLTRACK Data License with attribution. - Validator scoring transparency — the POLTRACK Score weighs seven components (reliability, decentralization, record, health, consistency, commission, transparency) and the weighting is documented. No black-box scoring.
Who POLTRACK is for
- Delegators comparing validators before staking POL.
- Researchers studying Polygon tokenomics, PIP-65/PIP-85 effects, and validator decentralization.
- Builders who need reliable open data on Polygon PoS supply, fees, and staking without paying for a proprietary data provider.
- Journalists and analysts citing Polygon economic figures with a traceable source.
Data sources
All data is sourced from on-chain reads and public APIs:
| Source | Data |
|---|---|
| Polygon PoS RPC | Fees, gas, transactions, base-fee burn |
| Ethereum RPC | POL supply, balances, staking manager, validator share contracts |
| Etherscan | Mint events, treasury transfers, historical burn snapshots |
| Polygon Staking API | Validator registry, commission, checkpoint performance |
| CoinGecko | POL spot price and market cap (used only for USD figures) |
See Methodology for full calculation details and reconciliation rules.
