Ronin API Quickstart

Don't have an API key?

Build faster with production-ready APIs, smart wallets and rollup infrastructure across 70+ chains. Create your free Alchemy API key and get started today.

Ronin is an EVM blockchain built for gaming, secured by Delegated Proof of Stake, and now adding Ronin zkEVM rollups so studios can launch low-fee L2s for their games.

The Ronin API lets you interact with the Ronin network through a set of JSON-RPC methods. If you've worked with Ethereum's JSON-RPC APIs, the design will feel familiar.

Let's use the viem package to create a Ronin client connected to Alchemy and fetch the latest block number!

npm install --save viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem"; 
import { ronin } from "viem/chains";
 
const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: ronin,
  transport: http("https://ronin-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_ALCHEMY_API_KEY"),
});

Now that you've created a client connected to Alchemy, you can continue with some basics:

const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Current block number:", blockNumber);

const balance = await client.getBalance({ address: "0xab5801a7d398351b8be11c439e05c5b3259aec9b" });
console.log("Balance (RON):", Number(balance) / 1e18);

const block = await client.getBlock({
  blockNumber: blockNumber, // from previous example
});
console.log(block);

const tx = await client.getTransaction({ hash: "0xYOUR_TX_HASH" });
console.log(tx);

const receipt = await client.getTransactionReceipt({
  hash: "0xYOUR_TX_HASH"
});
console.log(receipt);
