Rise API FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Rise API

RISE is an Ethereum Layer-2 with a parallel EVM and a “based” hybrid rollup design that targets sub-5 ms confirmations and 100k+ TPS.

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

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

Yes, Rise is EVM compatible.

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

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

When accessing the Rise 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 you sign up for a free API key.

Common Ethereum libraries like ethers.js should be compatible with Rise, given its EVM nature.
