About Tezos

The Tezos RPC documentation provides developers with a comprehensive guide to interact with the Tezos blockchain programmatically. Tezos is a self-amending blockchain that uses a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism and on-chain governance to enable continuous upgrades without requiring hard forks. The documentation includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, managing transactions, and deploying smart contracts. Tezos’s unique architecture and upgradeable governance make it ideal for decentralized applications (dApps) and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Tezos RPC endpoints

What is Tezos RPC?

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

How do I connect to Tezos 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 Tezos 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 Tezos RPC free forever?

Yes! Our free tier Tezos 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 Tezos 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.
