Why is Polygon POS Node setup taking so long to download snapshots?
I'm trying to set up a Polygon POS Node and downloading the most recent bor snapshots seems to be taking hours. I have a server with 32 cores, but the full process is still slow. Is this normal, and what factors could be affecting the download time?

Where to find info on Amoy explorers and EntryPoint contracts?
So, I'm trying to dive into the Amoy network and need some guidance. I'm looking to see if there are any explorer tools available for Amoy because I can't find anything on Polygonscan directly. Also, I'm hunting down the EntryPoint contract deployment on Amoy, like what versions are there and what their addresses might be. Lastly, I'm curious about the metadata for Amoy, specifically the chain IDs for Amoy and Amoy Matic. Any insights?

How did they upgrade WMATIC/WPOL contracts without changing addresses?
Hey folks, I've been trying to wrap my head around how the WMATIC to WPOL migration was handled. Specifically, I'm puzzled about how they changed the symbol and name of the contracts 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270 and 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001010 when they're not upgradable. How did they manage to keep the same contract addresses but update the immutable contract states? I read some about PIP-45 and noticed something about a network hardfork. Was this change achieved through a hardfork, like it mentions?

Best way to deploy Amoy node without manual data copy?
I'm trying to deploy another Amoy node service without going through a lengthy synchronization process. I thought of copying the disk data from an existing Amoy node to a new computer, thinking it would save time. However, after doing so, the BOR service on the new setup failed to start. Should I have turned off the service before copying the data? What is the best approach to efficiently set up a new Amoy node?

What's the cost and reward of running a validator node?
I'm trying to figure out if it's financially feasible to run a validator node for Polygon. Can someone break down the expected cost of running a validator node per checkpoint in ETH, and also what are the block rewards for being a validator? Essentially, I'm wondering if the MATIC reward is less than the ETH cost for checkpoints.

How to update or get the latest working enode list?
I'm struggling to sync my node correctly. I received a warning about synchronization failure due to whitelist validation. Also, I was informed that a remote peer doesn't have a target block number as the last white-listed block number. Could someone share the most recent enode list or help me troubleshoot this sync issue?

How are validator rewards calculated on Polygon network?
I'm trying to calculate the checkpoint rewards by address for a validator on the Polygon network. I see different reward numbers in the explorer for checkpoints, but I am puzzled by how these rewards are computed, especially when the validator is the checkpoint proposer. Can someone help clarify this for me?

Where to find a single archive for Polygon BOR snapshots?
I'm trying to set up a Polygon BOR node and I need a pruned leveldb snapshot from the mainnet. However, downloading the individual .db files takes forever with tools like aria2. Is there a place where I can find and download a single archive file for the leveldb snapshot to save time?

Does calling withdraw on MaticWETH trigger automatic steps?
I'm trying to understand the process within the Polygon network for transferring MaticWETH tokens back to the Ethereum network. When I call the withdraw function on a token like MaticWETH, it seems to trigger a Transfer event to the zero address. Does this event automatically initiate the first few steps required to bridge the token back to Ethereum, simply because the token is already mapped?
