Polygon PoS Key Metrics

Polygon PoS is one of the most active blockchain networks in the world, regularly processing over 4 million transactions per day. With a theoretical throughput of over 65,000 TPS and average block times of 2 seconds, it offers a dramatically better user experience than Ethereum mainnet for everyday transactions.

Daily Transaction Volume

Our daily transactions chart tracks total on-chain activity over time, helping you identify network growth trends, seasonal patterns, and the impact of major protocol launches or market events. Transaction counts include both native POL transfers and all ERC-20, ERC-721, and contract interactions.

Active Addresses

The number of unique active addresses (addresses that sent or received at least one transaction in a 24-hour period) is a reliable proxy for genuine network usage. Polygon regularly sees 400,000 to 1,000,000 daily active addresses, reflecting its position as a leading Layer 2 and sidechain solution for mainstream Web3 applications.

Gas Price Tracker

Gas prices on Polygon are denominated in POL (Gwei) and are significantly cheaper than on Ethereum. Our real-time gas tracker shows the current safe, standard, and fast gas price tiers, along with the estimated transaction cost for common operations such as simple transfers and DeFi swaps.

Total Value Locked (TVL)

Polygon's TVL across DeFi protocols represents the total value of assets deposited in lending pools, liquidity pools, yield aggregators, and other financial smart contracts on the network. This figure serves as a measure of economic activity and user confidence in the Polygon ecosystem.
