Data Access for Every World Chain Workload

Query, subscribe, and stream World Chain data with low latency. From a single eth_call to billions of rows of historical logs, you get the right interface for the job.

JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WSS on World Chain Mainnet and World Chain Sepolia
Full archive nodes with debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber
Streams for backfill and real-time World Chain blocks, logs, and traces
Webhooks for push notifications on addresses and events
WebSocket subscriptions with eth_subscribe for new blocks and logs

EVM Tooling You Already Know

The Ethereum toolchain you already know works unchanged on World Chain. Deploy contracts, manage endpoints, and ship from one Quicknode account.

Deploy and verify Solidity contracts with Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix
Token authentication, rate-limiting, JWT, and whitelisting on every endpoint
ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and @quicknode/sdk supported out of the box
Archive access with debug and trace for indexing and simulation

// Every World Chain Data Pattern

The Full Data Suite.
Every World Chain Data Pattern.

Six ways to access World Chain data, from a single eth_call to billions of rows of queryable history. Pick the interface, ship faster.

World Chain JSON-RPC

Standard JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WSS on World Chain Mainnet and World Chain Sepolia. Every EVM method supported, including eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_getBalance, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_subscribe, with predictable rate limits.

Explore Core RPC API

Archive & Debug

Full historical World Chain state with no pruning. Run debug_traceTransaction and debug_traceBlockByNumber against archive nodes for indexing and simulation.

Explore Archive Access

Streams

Backfill and real-time World Chain blocks, logs, and traces delivered to your datastore with guaranteed reliability. Filter upstream, receive only the data you actually need.

Explore Streams

Webhooks

Event-driven alerts with guaranteed delivery. Subscribe to specific addresses, event types, or onchain conditions.

Explore Webhooks

Synchronous Transactions

Submit a transaction and get its receipt back in the same call with eth_sendRawTransactionSync, no polling for confirmation. Simpler, faster send flows for wallets, bots, and payments.

Read the docs

WebSocket Subscriptions

Subscribe to new World Chain blocks and logs over a persistent WSS connection with eth_subscribe. Push updates the moment they land, with no polling.

// Built for EVM Developers

Your Ethereum app runs on World Chain.

World Chain is an OP Stack layer 2 in the Optimism Superchain, so the tooling you already know works unchanged. ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and web3.py all hit a Quicknode World Chain endpoint the same way they hit Ethereum. Same methods, same SDK, just a different RPC URL.

No rewrites

Point your existing Ethereum codebase at a Quicknode World Chain endpoint and deploy. Contracts, libraries, and tooling carry over.

Same JSON-RPC methods

eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_subscribe all behave exactly as they do on Ethereum.

// Your Ethereum code, pointed at World Chain
import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";


const client = createPublicClient({
  // World Chain mainnet, chain ID 480
  chain: { id: 480, name: "World Chain" },
  transport: http(QUICKNODE_WORLDCHAIN_URL)
});


const block = await client.getBlockNumber();


// Same methods, same SDK. World Chain is an OP Stack layer 2 in the Optimism Superchain.
// Add World Chain to MetaMask

Connect MetaMask to World Chain in seconds.

Open MetaMask, go to Settings, Networks, Add Network, and enter your Quicknode World Chain RPC URL with the details on the right. Save, and MetaMask routes through your private Quicknode endpoint instead of a rate-limited public RPC.
