Polygon PoS Now Supported By Amazon Managed Blockchain Access

cryptonews.com:

Amazon Managed Blockchain (AMB) Access now supports the Polygon proof-of-stake (PoS) mainnet and the Mumbai testnet in public preview.

AMB is a fully managed service that provides access to public and private blockchains. Polygon is a scaling solution leveraging the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), known for higher transaction throughput and lower transaction fees. The blockchain is often used in building decentralized applications (dapps) related to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Web3 games, and tokenization use cases.

According to Polygon’s blog post,

“[AMB] is adding support for Polygon PoS to offer developers a reliable, scalable and cost-efficient way to build Web3 applications.”

The developer guide adds that AMB helps users build “resilient Web3 applications on the Polygon blockchain.”

Furthermore, it provides serverless and instant access to Polygon PoS without minimum cost. Access is free during the public preview, but standard Amazon Web Services (AWS) data transfer charges apply.

AMB Access Polygon “caters to a variety of applications, from use cases calling for repeated and highly-available access to those with intermittent and unpredictable access,” Polygon said.

It noted that this access is beneficial for consumer brands, institutions, and developers alike.

Consumer brands, it said, can use AMB Access Polygon to offer NFTs through a loyalty system to reward customers.

Financial services institutions can utilize it to power digital asset offerings. These require JSON-RPC application programming interface (API) for reading blockchain data and broadcasting users’ signed transactions.

Finally, developers can use Polygon JSON-RPC APIs through “always-on endpoints that offer predictable pay-as-you-go pricing to build
