RPC endpoints
This guide provides an index of network details for the Polygon Mumbai Testnet and Polygon PoS Mainnet, including their associated RPC and node endpoints.
Network details¶
Mumbai¶
The Mumbai testnet serves as a replica of the Polygon mainnet and is primarily used for testing. Obtain testnet tokens from the faucet. Note that these tokens hold no value and differ from MATIC.
| Properties | Network details |
|---|---|
| Network name | Mumbai |
| Parent chain | Goërli |
| Chain ID | 80001 |
| Gas token | MATIC |
| Gas station | Mumbai gas station |
| RPC endpoint | https://rpc-mumbai.matic.today |
| Node endpoint | wss://rpc-mumbai.matic.today |
| Heimdall API | https://heimdall-api-testnet.polygon.technology |

Mainnet¶
The native token for the Polygon PoS mainnet is MATIC, which is used for transaction fees.
| Properties | Network details |
|---|---|
| Network name | Polygon |
| Parent chain | Ethereum |
| Chain ID | 137 |
| Gas token | MATIC |
| Gas station | PolygonScan Gas Tracker |

RPC API methods¶
Developers can interact with on-chain data and execute various types of transactions using network endpoints. These APIs adhere to the JSON-RPC standard, a stateless, lightweight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol.
