Polygon methods

Complete reference of supported Polygon PoS JSON-RPC methods on Chainstack, including eth, debug, trace, and bor namespace availability details.

Our pricing is simple: 1 RU per full request, 2 RUs per archive. For which EVM methods are full vs archive, see Request units — EVM methods affected by block age.

See also interactive Polygon API call examples.

Polygon is sunsetting Erigon on mainnet by August 1, 2026. After the cutover, the Erigon-only trace_* and erigon_* namespaces will no longer be available on Polygon — Bor serves the Geth debug_trace* methods instead.

If your app uses the Parity trace_* methods, migrate to their debug_* equivalents before the deadline:

Erigon trace_* method	Replacement on Bor
trace_transaction	debug_traceTransaction with callTracer
trace_block	debug_traceBlockByNumber with callTracer
trace_call	debug_traceCall with callTracer
trace_filter, trace_replayBlockTransactions, trace_replayTransaction	debug_traceBlockByNumber per block, or eth_getLogs for event ranges

The debug_trace* methods return equivalent execution traces on Bor (verified live on Chainstack Polygon nodes). The erigon_* convenience methods have no Bor equivalent — use the standard eth_* methods instead.
