Is Polygon Down Right Now?

Polygon PoS is an Ethereum-compatible proof-of-stake chain producing a block roughly every 2 seconds. This page reads Polygon's latest block from a public RPC to tell you whether the network is producing blocks — or whether it's your wallet or a single node that's failing.

Polygon is producing blocks normally — the latest block was just now (based on a public RPC, polygon-bor-rpc.publicnode.com).

What “Polygon is down” actually means

Polygon PoS runs its own validator set, so its failure modes are block-production stalls and occasional reorgs or checkpoint delays rather than the single-sequencer outages of an L2. Polygon has seen brief production halts and a notable reorg in its history. This page reads Polygon's latest block over a public RPC — if the block number is climbing, the chain is producing and your wallet or RPC is the more likely culprit.

If Polygon seems down

1
Check the latest block on polygonscan.com — if it's advancing, Polygon is live and the issue is your wallet/RPC.
2
Switch your wallet's Polygon RPC to a different endpoint (polygon-bor-rpc.publicnode.com) before assuming an outage.
3
Deposits from Ethereum to Polygon settle after L1 confirmations — a slow deposit isn't a Polygon outage.
4
Watch for checkpoint/reorg notices from the Polygon team during instability rather than just transaction failures.
5
Follow @0xPolygon / @PolygonLabs for official status during an incident.

Frequently asked questions

Is Polygon down right now?
This page reads Polygon's latest block from a public RPC. If the block height shown above is advancing, Polygon is producing blocks and is not down. A frozen, non-advancing height means the chain may be halted; an "RPC unreachable" result means we couldn't reach a node — which can be that node rather than the chain itself.
How does WebsiteDown check if Polygon is down?
We send a JSON-RPC request to a public Polygon endpoint and read the latest block and its timestamp. If it hasn't advanced past a Polygon-specific staleness threshold, we flag it as halted. We don't run a validator, so this is one node's view — confirm with the official status page during an incident.
Is the chain halted, or is it just my wallet or RPC?
Most "is Polygon down" moments are a wallet or a single RPC failing, not the chain. If the block height here is climbing, the network is live — switch your wallet's RPC endpoint. Only a frozen, non-advancing block height points to an actual Polygon halt.
What should I do if Polygon is halted?
There is no user-side fix for a true halt — your funds stay safe on-chain and transactions resume when the network restarts. Follow the official status channels linked above for restart timing instead of repeatedly resubmitting transactions.

Get told when Polygon halts

WebsiteDown can watch Polygon's block height on a schedule and email you if it stops advancing — no need to keep refreshing this page.
