RPC endpoints

This guide provides an index of network details for the Polygon Amoy testnet and Polygon PoS mainnet, including their associated RPC and node endpoints.

Network details¶

Amoy¶

The Amoy testnet serves as a replica of the Polygon mainnet and is primarily used for testing. Obtain testnet tokens from the faucet. Note that these test tokens hold no real-world value.

RPC API methods¶

Developers can interact with on-chain data and execute various types of transactions using network endpoints. These APIs adhere to the JSON-RPC standard, a stateless, lightweight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol.
