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 allows developers to interface with the MegaETH mainnet. With this API, developers can execute transactions, query on-chain data, and interact with the MegaETH network, relying on a JSON-RPC standard.

Yes, MegaETH is EVM compatible.

MegaETH uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API is crucial for any blockchain interaction on the MegaETH network, allowing users to read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data on-chain.

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

When accessing the MegaETH network via a node provider like Alchemy, MegaETH developers 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.
