Polygon PoS is now supported by Amazon Managed Blockchain Access – here are the details
3 min readAmazon 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 scalable solution that leverages the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), known for higher transaction throughput and lower transaction fees. Blockchain is often used in the development of decentralized applications (Dapps) in conjunction with non-fungible tokens (NFTs -Use cases used. Tokenization and Play), Web3-
A blog post from Polygon says:
“[AMB] adds support for Polygon PoS to provide developers with a reliable, scalable and cost-effective way to build Web3 applications.”
The Developer Guide adds that AMB helps users “build resilient Web3 applications on the Polygon blockchain.”
It also offers serverless and instant access to Polygon PoS with no minimum cost. Access is free during public preview, but standard Amazon Web Services (AWS) data transfer fees apply.
Benefits for developers, consumer brands and financial institutions
AMB Access Polygon “is suitable for a variety of applications, from use cases that require repeated and highly available access to those where access is sporadic and unpredictable,” says Polygon.
Polygon notes that this access is beneficial for consumer brands, institutions and developers alike.
Consumer brands can use AMB Access Polygon to offer NFTs through a loyalty system and reward customers.
Financial service providers can use it to offer digital assets. These require a JSON-RPC application programming interface (API) to read blockchain data and transmit users’ signed transactions.
Finally, developers can leverage Polygon’s JSON-RPC APIs through “always-on endpoints with predictable billing to build applications that interact with Polygon PoS.”
Web3 game developers can create NFTs that players can then use in-game and/or trade on marketplaces on Polygon PoS.
AMB Access Polygon offers developers benefits such as production-ready applications, faster time to market, and automatic scaling.
Additionally, thanks to pay-per-request pricing, developers can save up to 80% on blockchain node spending compared to self-managed infrastructure, according to Polygon.
Every day, developers are exploring more and more use cases for scalable and mainstream applications, utilizing Polygon PoS for reliability, quick transactions and low transaction fees. These use cases range from NFT marketplaces, loyalty rewards, real-world asset tokenization,… pic.twitter.com/JtVuHwmAGf

Not the first Polygon-AWS collaboration
AWS support of Polygon PoS through AMB Access further streamlines the development of scalable and mainstream applications, the post said.
“AWS continues to expand its enterprise-grade Web3 infrastructure and developer-friendly tools that enterprises need to provide fast, seamless and secure access to applications for Web3 native and mainstream customers.”
Cross-industry projects already using AMB Access Polygon include wallet-as-a-service provider Magic, indie game development studio Mystic Moose, music distribution specialist RecoChoku, and global fintech infrastructure provider for real-world assets and digital securities Oasis Pro.
However, this is not the first partnership between the two companies.
AWS, Polygon Labs and gaming venture capital firm Animoca Brands announced a strategic collaboration in mid-November. The announced MoonRealm Express Accelerator aims to support Web3 developers around the world to accelerate Web3 products and solutions through Animoca Brands’ flagship project Mocaverse.
“The goal of MoonRealm Express Accelerator is to support aspiring developers by helping them turn concepts into real-world solutions,” the announcement said.
Now AMB Access Polygon has been added.
