DATA Network RPC
DATA Network Overview
DATA Network is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed to establish provenance, confidentiality, and rights governance for data assets. It is 100% EVM-compatible with a CometBFT-based consensus layer enabling fast finality and economical transactions. The network addresses three critical needs: Trace (provenance and verifiable records), CDR (confidentiality through threshold encryption), and IP & Licensing (programmable usage rights). DATA Network supports diverse data types including images, datasets, AI training data, and real-world assets, with the $DATA token used for gas fees.
Interacting With DATA Network APIs
DATA Network exposes Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC methods that allow developers to interact with the network programmatically. You can query blockchain state, send transactions, deploy and interact with smart contracts, and subscribe to real-time events via WebSocket.
You can connect by running your own node or by using a hosted provider such as Quicknode, which offers reliable, low-latency access without the need to manage infrastructure.
The Quicknode DATA Network documentation is continuously updated, but we recommend cross-referencing with the official Data Foundation documentation for the latest API details.
