RPC endpoint

An RPC endpoint is the network address, typically an HTTPS or WebSocket URL, to which a client sends JSON-RPC requests to communicate with a blockchain node.

The endpoint is the door to a node: point your client at the URL, authenticate, and issue methods like eth_call or getblock. Endpoints differ by chain, transport and capability — some serve only recent state, some full archive history and trace. With us, one key gives an endpoint that combines raw archive JSON-RPC passthrough with our decoded-data and analytics APIs, and every request is metered from a single prepaid credit balance rather than provisioned per-chain plans.
