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 lets you interface with the Pharos network. You can execute transactions, query onchain data, and interact with the Pharos network using the JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Pharos is EVM compatible.
Pharos uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API handles all blockchain interaction on the Pharos network, letting you read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data onchain.
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 you access the Pharos 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 Pharos, given its EVM nature.
