About Abstract

The Abstract RPC documentation delivers a streamlined reference for developers to interface with the Abstract network through JSON-RPC endpoints. It covers essential methods—like eth_blockNumber, transaction submission, and event log queries—over both HTTP and WebSocket interfaces. As an Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 built on ZK-rollup technology, Abstract offers low-fee, high-throughput execution while maintaining Ethereum’s security model. Developers benefit from full compatibility with existing Ethereum tooling, enabling smooth migration of smart contracts with minimal adjustments. Additionally, services like BlastAPI and QuickNode offer enhanced, high-performance RPC endpoints, and scalable features like archive nodes and debug APIs.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Abstract RPC endpoints

What is Abstract RPC?

Abstract RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is an interface that allows developers to interact with the Abstract blockchain. It enables you to read data, send transactions, and deploy smart contracts programmatically using standard JSON-RPC methods.

How do I connect to Abstract using these RPC endpoints?

Simply copy the RPC endpoint URL from above and configure it in your Web3 library (ethers.js, web3.js), wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet), or development tool (Hardhat, Truffle). The endpoint works immediately with no registration required for the free tier.

What are the rate limits for free Abstract RPC?

Free tier RPC endpoints are limited to 5 requests per minute. This is perfect for testing and development. For production applications, we recommend upgrading to Tatum Premium which offers 200 requests per second with no daily limits.

When should I upgrade to Premium?

Consider upgrading to Premium when you're moving to production, need higher rate limits (200 req/sec), require 99.9% uptime SLA, want access to archive nodes for historical data, or need advanced features like batch RPC calls, debug/trace methods, and priority support.

Is Abstract RPC free forever?

Yes! Our free tier Abstract RPC endpoints are free forever with 5 requests per minute. This tier is perfect for learning, testing, and small projects. There are no hidden fees or time limits on the free tier.

What's the difference between mainnet and testnet?

Mainnet is the live Abstract blockchain where real transactions occur with real assets. Testnet is a separate network used for testing and development with free test tokens. Always test your dApp on testnet before deploying to mainnet.

Can I use these endpoints in production?

Free tier endpoints can be used in production for low-traffic applications (under 5 req/min). For production apps with higher traffic, we strongly recommend Tatum Premium for guaranteed uptime, faster rate limits, and enterprise SLA.
