Polygon

Bor

Interact with your Polygon node using Bor.

Install Bor.
Use geth attach command with the node endpoint.

bor attach YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT

where YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.

Invoke any methods from Web3 JavaScript API.

Example below demonstrates how to get the balance of an address in wei value and convert it to ether value:

> web3.fromWei(web3.eth.getBalance("0xde0b295669a9fd93d5f28d9ec85e40f4cb697bae"))
642538.078574759898951277

You can also use the Bor client Docker container.

GraphQL

You can use GraphQL on a dedicated node on the Growth, Business, and Enterprise subscription plans.

UI

You can query data using the graphical interface.

On Chainstack, navigate to your dedicated Polygon node. See node access details.
Hover over GraphQL IDE URL and click Open.
In the graphical interface that opens, run a GraphQL query.

Example to get the latest block number:

{ block { number } }

Node.js

You can build a web app to query data using node.js and axios:

const axios = require('axios');
const main = async () => {
  try {
    const result = await axios.post(
      'YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT',
      {
        query: `
          { block { number } }
        `
      }
    );
    console.log(result.data);
  } catch(error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
}
main();

YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node GraphQL endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
query — your GraphQL query. In this case, to get the latest block number.

MetaMask

On node access details, click Add to MetaMask.

Truffle

Configure Truffle Suite to deploy contracts to your Polygon nodes.

Install Truffle Suite, HD Wallet-enabled Web3 provider, and create a project.

Create a new environment in truffle-config.js, add your mnemonic phrase generated by a wallet and the Polygon endpoint instead of YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT:

const HDWalletProvider = require("@truffle/hdwallet-provider");
const mnemonic = 'pattern enroll upgrade ...';
...
module.exports = {
 networks: {
    chainstack: {
        provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT"),
        network_id: "*"
    },
   }
  }
};

Hardhat

Configure Hardhat to deploy contracts and interact through your Polygon nodes.

Install Hardhat and create a project.
Create a new environment in hardhat.config.js:
```
require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle");
...
module.exports = {
  solidity: "0.7.3",
  networks: {
    chainstack: {
        url: "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT",
        accounts: ["YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"]
    },
  }
};
```
where
- YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
- YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key of the account that you use to deploy the contract
Run npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network chainstack and Hardhat will deploy using Chainstack.

Remix IDE

To make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node:

Get MetaMask and set it to interact through a Chainstack node. See Interacting through MetaMask.
In Remix IDE, navigate to the Deploy tab. Select Injected Provider - MetaMask in Environment.

This will engage MetaMask and make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node.
