MegaETH API FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the MegaETH API

MegaETH is a high-performance Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain designed to achieve real-time transaction processing with sub-millisecond latency and extremely high throughput.

Check out our MegaETH API Quickstart guide to get started building on MegaETH.

The MegaETH API lets you interface with the MegaETH mainnet. You can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the MegaETH network using the JSON-RPC standard.

Yes, MegaETH is EVM compatible.

MegaETH uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API handles all blockchain interaction on the MegaETH network, letting you read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.

MegaETH supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Please check the MegaETH API Endpoints for a complete list.

When you access the MegaETH 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 MegaETH, given its EVM nature.
