Is PolygonScan Currently Down?
Based on the most recent automated status checks, PolygonScan is operational. All monitored service components — Web (Mainnet), Web (Testnet), API, and Node — are responding within normal parameters. The Polygon network itself is processing approximately 8.79 million transactions per day, and there are no active incidents reported on the official PolygonScan status page.
How to Confirm PolygonScan Is Down for You Specifically
If you are having trouble accessing PolygonScan, the first step is to determine whether the issue is global or local. A global outage would affect all users worldwide, while a local issue might be due to your browser, ISP, VPN, or regional network routing. Try accessing polygonscan.com from a different device or network to isolate the cause.
Common Causes of PolygonScan Appearing Down
- Browser Cache: A stale browser cache can cause old, broken page resources to load. Try force-refreshing with CTRL+F5 (Windows) or CMD+Shift+R (Mac).
- DNS Issues: If your DNS resolver has a stale entry for polygonscan.com, the site may fail to load. Try flushing your DNS cache or using a public DNS server such as 8.8.8.8.
- VPN or Proxy: Some VPN exit nodes block blockchain-related sites. Try disabling your VPN temporarily to see if access improves.
- Regional Routing: Occasionally, BGP routing issues can cause connectivity problems for users in specific regions even when the site is globally available.
- Scheduled Maintenance: PolygonScan occasionally performs scheduled maintenance during low-traffic hours. Maintenance windows are announced on the official status page in advance.
Alternative Explorers During PolygonScan Downtime
During PolygonScan downtime, the following alternative Polygon blockchain explorers can be used to look up transactions, wallet balances, and token data: Blockscout's Polygon Mainnet explorer at polygon.blockscout.com, and OKLink's Polygon explorer at oklink.com/polygon. Both index the same Polygon PoS blockchain data and are independently maintained.
