## Analyze Polygon NFT data
<a name="polygon-nft-data"></a>

You can collect data about Polygon NFTs, including information like transfer events and NFT metadata for a specified period. You can then analyze this data to draw insights like which NFTs are trending or which users are most frequently interacting with a given collection.

For more information, see [Managed Blockchain API and the JSON-RPCs supported with AMB Access Polygon](polygon-api.md).

## Support NFT purchases
<a name="polygon-nft-purchases"></a>

You can use AMB Access Polygon to submit transactions for NFT purchases using initial mint, allowlists, or on the secondary market. Using a combination of other AWS services, you can then permit purchases using credit cards, accepting Fiat or cryptocurrencies, with a quick settlement for all stakeholders involved.

For more information, see [Managed Blockchain API and the JSON-RPCs supported with AMB Access Polygon](polygon-api.md).

## Create a Polygon wallet
<a name="polygon-wallets"></a>

You can use AMB Access Polygon to serve critical functions of digital asset wallets, such as reading user token balances from smart contracts on the blockchain or broadcasting signed transactions to the blockchain.

For more information, see [Managed Blockchain API and the JSON-RPCs supported with AMB Access Polygon](polygon-api.md).

## Wallet as a service
<a name="polygon-waas"></a>

You can use AMB Access Polygon to develop an operating wallet-as-a-service needed to support common wallet transactions such as checking a balance, asset transfer, asset send, and fee estimations, using the supported Polygon JSON-RPCs.

For more information, see [Managed Blockchain API and the JSON-RPCs supported with AMB Access Polygon](polygon-api.md).

## Token-gated experiences
<a name="polygon-token-gating"></a>

You can use AMB Access Polygon to build token-gated experiences for your users. For example, you can conditionally provide access to a piece of content only to the owners of a specific NFT. To achieve this, you must read the blockchain to determine the NFT ownership of a user's address.
