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 allows developers to interface with the Rise mainnet. With this API, developers can execute transactions, query on-chain data, and interact with the Rise network, relying on a JSON-RPC standard.

Yes, Rise is EVM compatible.

Rise uses the JSON-RPC API standard. This API is crucial for any blockchain interaction on the Rise network, allowing users to read block/transaction data, query chain information, execute smart contracts, and store data on-chain.

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, Rise 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 Rise, given its EVM nature.
