What is Polygonscan?
Polygon PoS (polygonscan.com) is an EVM-compatible environment optimized for high throughput and low transaction fees while Polygon zkEVM (zkevm.polygonscan.com) is an EVM-equivalent ZK rollup designed for security.
Polygonscan is the leading block explorer for both the Polygon PoS and Polygon zkEVM chain. A block explorer is a search engine that allows users to easily look up, confirm, and validate transactions that have taken place on these chains.
Polygon PoS and Polygon zkEVM each has a public ledger (like a decentralized database) which polygonscan.com & zkevm.polygonscan.com indexes and then makes available this information through our site. Our mission is to facilitate Blockchain transparency by indexing and making searchable all transactions on both chains in the most transparent and accessible way possible.
Polygonscan is not a wallet service provider, we do not store your private keys and we have no control over the transactions that take place in the these networks. As such, we are not able to provide any help in reversing/redirecting transactions or recovering lost funds.
In addition, we also provide a set of load-balanced robust API Services (Polygon PoS / Polygon zkEVM) that can be used to either build decentralized applications or to serve as data feeds for Polygon PoS & Polygon zkEVM information.
