Monacoin methods
Every method the Monacoin gateway accepts, grouped by interface. 31 in total, read live from the node rather than kept by hand.
Mainnet is the live Monacoin network. Every transaction it
accepts is final, and every MONA balance it
reports is real money.
There is no public test network for Monacoin on the gateway, so development happens against Mainnet itself. Reads cost nothing and change nothing, which covers most of what you need before you start signing transactions.
Everything below is served over JSON-RPC. Its endpoint differs per network, and all of them are in the gateway list above.
What sits between you and Monacoin
A node is a machine running Monacoin with a copy of the chain. Your code cannot ask the chain directly, it asks a node. The gateway picks a healthy one for every call, so you point at one URL instead of one machine.
- One URL, nothing to run or keep patched yourself.
- Calls routed to a node that is up and in sync.
- A failing node is skipped rather than returned to you as an error.
JSON-RPC
31 methodsThe default. Every wallet, library and framework speaks it, and it is what you want unless you specifically need something else.
One POST carries a method name, its parameters and an id, and the response comes back on the same connection carrying that same id. Requests are independent, so there is no session to keep alive and nothing to reconnect, which is why it runs unchanged behind a load balancer or inside a serverless function. Send an array instead of a single object and the node works through the whole batch in one round trip.
Where it fits
- Anything your library already does for you. ethers, web3.js, viem and their equivalents all target this.
- Batching reads. One array of twenty calls costs one round trip instead of twenty.
- Stateless and serverless deployments, because nothing has to stay connected between calls.
- Historical queries, by passing a block number where you would otherwise pass latest.
Trade-offs
- It cannot push. Finding out that a block landed means polling for it, or moving to WebSocket.
- Wide log queries get refused. Page through in fixed block windows and merge the results yourself.
- Batch responses may come back in any order. Match them on id, never on position.
Enabled and tested methods
Read live from the endpoint, so this is what it actually serves today rather than what the protocol allows in principle. Anything not on this list returns a method-not-found error.
- createrawtransaction
- Builds an unsigned raw transaction from a set of inputs and outputs.
- decoderawtransaction

- getblockcount
- Returns the height of the chain tip.
- getblockhash

- searchrawtransactions
- Returns transactions involving a given address.
- sendrawtransaction
- Broadcasts a signed, serialized transaction to the network.
- testmempoolaccept
- Checks whether a transaction would be accepted into the mempool, without broadcasting it.
- validateaddress

- Verifies a message signed by the private key behind an address.
- verifytxoutproof
- Verifies a Merkle proof and returns the transactions it commits to.
Common JSON-RPC errors
What you are most likely to hit calling this interface, and what to do about it.
- -32700
- Parse error. The request body was not valid JSON. Check that the body is serialised JSON and that Content-Type is application/json.
- -32600
- Invalid request. The JSON parsed, but it is not a well-formed JSON-RPC call. Include jsonrpc, method and id fields. A batch must be a non-empty array.
- -32601
- Method not found. This node does not expose the method you called. Check the spelling and the namespace, and confirm the method is in the list above for this network. Tracing methods in particular are not enabled everywhere.
- -32602
- Invalid params. The method exists but the arguments are wrong. Check argument order and types. Most EVM methods want hex-encoded quantities, and a block parameter such as latest or a hex height.
- -32603
- Internal error. The node failed while handling an otherwise valid request. Retry with backoff. If it persists on one method, it is usually that method rather than the node.
- -32000
- Server error. A catch-all the node uses for execution failures, most often a reverted call or a request over a limit. Read the accompanying message. Execution reverted means your call failed on chain, not in transport. Narrow the block range if you are querying logs.
- HTTP 429
- Rate limited. You have exceeded the free tier request allowance. Back off and retry, batch reads into single calls, or move to a dedicated endpoint for production traffic.
- HTTP 413
- Payload too large. The request body exceeded what the node accepts. Split large batches into smaller ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Monacoin RPC endpoints
Quick Answer: What is Monacoin RPC?
RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is the standard way to interact with the network programmatically - reading on-chain data, submitting transactions, and deploying smart contracts through JSON-RPC calls. The free tier ships 5 requests per minute with no registration required, which covers most learning and testing workflows. Production applications typically move to Tatum Premium for 200 requests per second and enterprise-grade reliability.
