Polygon Labs has announced that support for the 0xpolygon/erigon node implementation on the Polygon PoS network (Mainnet and Amoy) will be sunset on August 1, 2026.
In alignment with Polygon Labs’ recommendations, Tatum is migrating all archive-node infrastructure to Bor with PBSS (Path-Based State Scheme) configuration.
Key Changes & Impact
While Bor provides the same historical ledger data, there are significant differences in supported RPC namespaces between Erigon and Bor.
🚫 Deprecated Methods
The following Parity-style trace_* methods are exclusive to Erigon and will not be available on the new Bor infrastructure:
trace_blocktrace_calltrace_callManytrace_replayBlockTransactionstrace_replayTransactiontrace_filter
✅ Available Alternatives
Bor supports the standard Geth debug_trace* namespace. For most tracing use cases, you should transition to:
debug_traceTransactiondebug_traceBlockByNumberdebug_traceBlockByHashdebug_traceCall
Additional Compatibility NotesBor follows Geth-compatible behavior for debug and txpool namespaces. Customers relying on exact Erigon response schemas should validate their integrations before migration.
- For
debug_trace*methods, thememoryfield is not returned by default. To include EVM memory in trace output, passenableMemory: truein the trace configuration.- For
txpool_*methods, response schemas may differ from Erigon. For example, Bor may omit fields such asbaseFeein txpool responses.- Historical
eth_getProofSupport: Bor currently serveseth_getProofrequests only for the latest 128 blocks. Requests for older historical proofs are not currently supported by the Bor client.
Migration Timeline
- Polygon Amoy (Testnet): Migration is scheduled for May 11, 2026.
- Polygon Mainnet: Migration will follow the Amoy deployment (to be announced).
- End of Life: All legacy Erigon nodes will be fully decommissioned by August 1, 2026.
Connection Endpoints
No endpoint URL changes are required. Your existing Polygon Mainnet and Polygon Amoy Gateway URLs will remain the same, but the underlying infrastructure will be migrated to Bor-based nodes.
Important Notice
If your application relies on the trace_ namespace (specifically for range queries via trace_filter), you must refactor your logic to use indexed logs (eth_getLogs) or the debug namespace before the deadline to avoid service interruption.
