Pharos is a high-performance, EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that combines modular architecture and deep-parallel execution to deliver sub-second finality and high throughput, designed to unify Web2 and Web3 assets and liquidity.
Check out our Pharos API Quickstart guide to get started building on Pharos.
The Pharos API allows developers to interface with the Pharos network. With this API, developers can execute transactions, query on-chain data, and interact with the Pharos network, relying on a JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Pharos is EVM compatible.
Pharos uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API is crucial for any blockchain interaction on the Pharos network, allowing users to read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data on-chain.
Pharos supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Please check the Pharos API endpoints documentation for a complete list.
When accessing the Pharos network via a node provider like Alchemy, Pharos 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 Pharos, given its EVM nature.
