Quickstart
POLTRACK is free to use — no sign-up, no API key for the dashboard, no tracking beyond basic Vercel analytics. This guide walks through the fastest ways to extract the data you need.
Web dashboard
Open poltrack.tech — the landing page is a live economics dashboard covering:
- Rails — at-a-glance summary of supply, net issuance, fees, burn, staking share.
- Fees — base-fee burn, priority-fee distribution under PIP-65, multisig balance.
- Value Flow — how POL moves between minting, burn, treasury, validators, and stakers.
- Supply — circulating, staked, and net supply with 30-day deltas.
- POL Token — current price, market cap, and token facts.
All dashboard values refresh every 15 minutes against on-chain sources.
Validator directory
Open /validators to find, compare, and evaluate Polygon validators:
- Search by name or polygon ID.
- Filter by tag (zero-fee, institutional, well-distributed, retail-friendly, and more).
- Sort by POLTRACK Score, stake, commission, delegator count, or performance.
- Click any row for a per-validator detail page with PIP-65 income, delegator profile, on-chain addresses, and a narrative summary.
Downloadable snapshots
Public snapshots are published daily in two formats:
- JSON — /data/snapshot.json — machine-readable with full metric schema.
- CSV — /data/snapshot.csv — flat file for spreadsheets and BI tools.
Both files are covered by the POLTRACK Data License.
Scripting and ETL
For programmatic access, the POLTRACK API is being opened at api.poltrack.tech. While the public API is in development, the snapshot files above are the fastest way to pull a complete dataset into a script, notebook, or dashboard.
Example (Python):
import csv, urllib.request
with urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.poltrack.tech/data/snapshot.csv") as f:
for row in csv.DictReader(line.decode() for line in f):
print(row)
Example (Node):
const res = await fetch("https://www.poltrack.tech/data/snapshot.json");
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
