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.

Use The Tokenomics Dashboard
The POL Tokenomics dashboard 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 circulating supply, permanent burn, net issuance, staking, and current max expected supply;
- 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 POL Tokenomics Dashboard for section-level definitions.
Run a tokenomics simulation
Select What if? POL Tokenomics near the top of the dashboard. The simulation starts at 1× activity, the current POL price, and 2% annual inflation. Change any input to recalculate fees, POL-denominated burn, illustrative staking APR, 30-day net supply change, and effective supply through 2033.
Simulation mode is a sensitivity tool, not a forecast. Read POL Tokenomics Simulator before interpreting extreme scenarios.
Compare Validators
Open Validator Analytics 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 Validator Analytics 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.
The files are refreshed daily. They represent the latest published POLTRACK snapshot rather than a historical archive.
Python example:
import csv
import urllib.request
with urllib.request.urlopen("https://www.poltrack.tech/data/snapshot.csv") as response:
rows = csv.DictReader(line.decode() for line in response)
for row in rows:
print(row)
JavaScript example:
const response = await fetch("https://www.poltrack.tech/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:
- 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.
