Mode is an OP Stack–based, EVM-equivalent Ethereum Layer-2 that’s growth-focused—sharing sequencer fees with developers (SFS) and rewarding users to power DeFi/AiFi apps.
Check out our Mode API Quickstart guide to get started building on Mode.
The Mode API allows developers to interface with the Mode mainnet. With this API, developers can execute transactions, query on-chain data, and interact with the Mode network, relying on a JSON-RPC standard.
Yes, Mode is EVM compatible.
Mode uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API is crucial for any blockchain interaction on the Mode network, allowing users to read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data on-chain.
Mode supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. Some chain-specific methods may vary. Please check the Mode API Endpoints for a complete list.
When accessing the Mode network via a node provider like Alchemy, Mode developers 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 Mode, given its EVM nature.
