Flare RPC
Flare Overview
Flare is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that provides decentralized access to external data. The network includes two native oracle protocols at the network layer:
Flare enables developers to build applications that can access cryptocurrency prices, cross-chain transaction data, and Web2 event information without relying on centralized providers. The network uses FLR as its native token for transaction fees, staking, and governance, and operates on a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism.
Interacting with Flare APIs
Flare is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and supports standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods. This means developers can use familiar Ethereum development tools like Hardhat, Foundry, Web3.js, and Ethers.js without modification.
Since Flare uses the same JSON-RPC interface as Ethereum, applications built for Ethereum can be deployed on Flare with minimal changes. The network also provides access to its native oracle protocols through smart contracts, allowing developers to integrate price feeds and cross-chain data into their applications.
The Quicknode Flare documentation is continuously evolving as the chain undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Flare documentation for the latest updates and protocol-specific features.
Make Flare API Calls
The quickest way to start building on Flare is to create a Quicknode endpoint and send your first JSON-RPC request.
Quicknode provides managed Flare endpoints, giving you immediate access to Flare Mainnet and Coston2 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 applications
- Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through specialized APIs (add-ons) on the Quicknode Marketplace and products like Streams
Visit the QuickStart page to create your endpoint and send your first request.
