Fraxtal (Frax Chain) is an EVM-equivalent Layer-2 built on Optimism’s OP Stack that uses FRAX as gas and rewards onchain activity via Flox/FXTL to scale the Frax ecosystem.
Check out our Frax API Quickstart guide to get started building on Frax.
The Frax API lets you interface with the Frax mainnet. With this API, you can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the Frax network using the JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Frax is EVM compatible.
Frax uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API is essential for any blockchain interaction on the Frax network, allowing you to read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.
Fraxtal supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Please check the Fraxtal API Endpoints for a complete list.
When accessing the Frax network via a node provider like Alchemy, you use an API key to send transactions and retrieve data from the network. For the best development experience, we recommend that you sign up for a free API key.
Common Ethereum libraries like ethers.js should be compatible with Frax, given its EVM nature.
