About Ethereum
The Ethereum RPC (Remote Procedure Call) documentation provides developers with the tools needed to programmatically interact with the Ethereum blockchain. This comprehensive guide includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing smart contracts, submitting transactions, and accessing network statistics. Ethereum's highly decentralized architecture, powered by a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, supports the development of robust decentralized applications (dApps) across DeFi, NFTs, and more. The documentation is designed to ensure seamless integration with Ethereum’s scalable ecosystem, offering best practices and code examples for developers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Ethereum RPC endpoints
What is Ethereum RPC?
Ethereum RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is an interface that allows developers to interact with the Ethereum blockchain. It enables you to read data, send transactions, and deploy smart contracts programmatically using standard JSON-RPC methods.
How do I connect to Ethereum 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 Ethereum 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.
Is Ethereum RPC free forever?
Yes! Our free tier Ethereum 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 Ethereum 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.
