Berachain RPC
Berachain Overview
Berachain is a Layer 1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK and designed with a unique Proof-of-Liquidity consensus mechanism. Unlike traditional Proof-of-Stake systems, Berachain's validators are selected based on their contributions to decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, aligning network security with DeFi participation. Berachain maintains full EVM compatibility, enabling seamless migration of Ethereum applications.
The network features three native tokens: BGT (governance token), BERA (gas token), and HONEY (overcollateralized stablecoin), creating an innovative economic model that incentivizes active participation in the DeFi ecosystem while maintaining network security.
Interacting with Berachain's APIs
Berachain nodes expose a JSON-RPC interface that is compatible with Ethereum's JSON-RPC API. This means developers can use Ethereum's native tools, such as Foundry, Hardhat, and popular Web3 libraries, without modification.
However, due to Berachain's architectural differences, some RPC methods may behave differently from those on Ethereum. The QuickNode Berachain documentation is continuously evolving as the chain undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Berachain documentation for the latest updates and RPC differences.
Make Berachain API Calls
The quickest way to start building on Berachain is to create a QuickNode endpoint and send your first JSON-RPC request.
QuickNode provides managed Berachain endpoints, giving you immediate access to the Berachain Testnet without the overhead of running infrastructure. These endpoints offer:
- High reliability – globally distributed infrastructure designed to minimize downtime
- Enhanced performance – optimized latency and request handling for production-grade apps
- Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through specialized APIs (add-ons) on the QuickNode Marketplace and products like Streams
