As of March 15, 2026, Polygon is not down. The Polygon PoS network is fully operational, with all core systems including the Mainnet RPC, Heimdall, Bor, Polygonscan, and the Polygon Portal reporting normal status. No active incidents have been declared on the official Polygon status page.
Current Status: Polygon Is Operational
The official Polygon PoS status page (status.polygon.technology) is the authoritative source for real-time network health. As of today, the following components are all reporting Operational:
- Mainnet RPC — 100% uptime (90-day window)
- Node Sync — Operational
- Public API — Operational
- Polygon Portal — Operational
- Polygonscan Block Explorer — 99.99% uptime (90-day window)
- Staking API Mainnet — 100% uptime (90-day window)
- Staking UI — Operational
- Amoy Testnet — Operational
In February 2026, Polygon processed over 493 million transactions and recorded 256.5 million stablecoin transfers — the highest January figure on record. Network activity at this scale is only possible when the chain is running reliably.
Recent Polygon Incidents and Disruptions
While Polygon is currently operational, the network has experienced two notable incidents in the past year. In July 2025, a consensus bug in Heimdall caused approximately one hour of downtime. In December 2025, a Bor RPC partial disruption degraded access for some users and dApps — though block production continued uninterrupted throughout the event. Both incidents were resolved within hours.
Polygon has experienced only three significant outages since the Heimdall V1 launch in 2022 — demonstrating strong long-term reliability for a high-throughput blockchain.
How to Tell If Polygon Is Down vs. Your Wallet
Not every connectivity issue is a network-wide outage. Before concluding that Polygon is down, check the following:
- Check status.polygon.technology — if no incident is reported, the issue is likely local.
- Try a different RPC endpoint — your wallet's configured RPC may be down while the network itself is fine.
- Check Polygonscan — if new blocks are appearing on polygonscan.com, the chain is producing blocks normally.
- Try a different wallet or browser — browser extensions and wallet apps sometimes have their own connectivity bugs.
- Check your internet connection — a basic step that resolves many apparent blockchain connectivity issues.
