EVM RPC
ZetaChain is an EVM-compatible blockchain. EVM RPC allows you to connect to the ZetaChain blockchain and interact with the EVM. This gives you direct access to reading Ethereum-formatted transactions or sending them to the network
For example, querying the latest block number:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}' https://api.athens2.zetachain.com/evm
Tendermint HTTP
ZetaChain is powered by the Tendermint Core BFT consensus engine. The Tendermint HTTP API allows you to query blocks, information about validators, genesis file, etc.
For example, querying a genesis file:
https://api.athens2.zetachain.com/tendermint/genesis
Tendermint RPC
Tendermint RPC API allows broadcasting transactions and querying the blockchain through an JSON RPC interface.
For example, requesting a specific block:
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"method": "block", "params": ["1779002"], "id": 1}' https://api.athens2.zetachain.com/tendermint
Tendermint WebSocket
Tendermint WebSocket API provides access to JSON RPC via WebSockets.
For example, connecting to the WebSocket with wscat
wscat -c wss://api-lb.athens2.zetachain.com:26657/websocket
Cosmos SDK HTTP
ZetaChain is built with Cosmos SDK. Cosmos SDK HTTP API allows querying the state of the ZetaChain blockchain and broadcast transactions.
For example, querying the latest block:
