FAQ
What is a Polygon node provider?
Polygon Node providers deliver managed crypto nodes and reliable infrastructure — giving developers instant access to the blockchain without the burden of running and maintaining their own servers. Instead of dealing with complex synchronization, heavy storage requirements, and ongoing maintenance, teams can get started immediately using high-performance hosted endpoints.
What is a Polygon RPC node?
A Polygon Node provides full blockchain access through Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoints. These RPC endpoints allow developers to interact with the network programmatically — sending transactions, fetching block and transaction data, querying addresses, and monitoring real-time network activity. In production environments, RPC access is the standard way most applications connect to blockchain nodes.
Should I run a Polygon node myself?
Running your own Polygon node is not necessary for most projects. Operating a node requires storage capacity, constant synchronization, security monitoring, and dedicated DevOps resources. These requirements often make self-hosted nodes costly and time consuming, particularly as your project grows.
What Polygon APIs does NOWNodes support?
NOWNodes supports multiple Polygon APIs and infrastructure options, including Polygon RPC APIs, BlockBook APIs, WSS (WebSocket) APIs, and BlockBook WSS APIs on Mainnet. Developers can use these services to access blockchain and wallet data, retrieve transaction details, stream real-time blockchain events, interact with smart contracts, and build wallets, DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, payment solutions, and other scalable Web3 applications on Polygon infrastructure.
You can try the interfaces even before purchasing our API through Testnet. There is a whole node list of our service https://nownodes.io/nodes.
How do I start using a Polygon node?
After logging into NOWNodes and selecting a plan, navigate to the Dashboard in your account and choose the Polygon network. Then scroll down the page and click the Add a New Key button. Once your API key is generated, you can immediately start using the Polygon node through RPC endpoints.
Can I access Polygon infrastructure for free?
Yes, you can start with our START plan that gives access to shared crypto nodes with 100,000 requests for one month.
