Gnosis RPC

With QuickNode, you get access to our global Gnosis network which always routes your API requests to the nearest available location, ensuring low latency and the fastest speeds.

What is Gnosis Chain?

Gnosis Chain is an EVM-compatible blockchain that prioritizes stability, affordability, and decentralization. Originally launched as xDai Chain, it was rebranded as Gnosis Chain following its merge with the Gnosis ecosystem. The network uses xDai as its native token for gas fees, providing predictable and stable transaction costs.

Built on a Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, Gnosis Chain offers fast transaction confirmation times and extremely low fees, making it ideal for everyday transactions, payments, and applications requiring stable operating costs. The network maintains full Ethereum compatibility while providing a more accessible blockchain experience.

Interacting with Gnosis

The Gnosis Chain is fully compatible with Ethereum's API, enabling developers to use existing Ethereum tools and libraries without modification. The API supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods, allowing developers to interact with smart contracts, transfer tokens, and build applications using familiar development environments.

With this API, you can:

  • Query blockchain state (blocks, transactions, receipts, logs)
  • Send transactions
  • Deploy and interact with smart contracts
  • Subscribe to real-time events (via WebSocket subscriptions such as eth_subscribe)

You can access the API by:

  • Running a local Gnosis client. You can learn how by looking at our node setup guides here.
  • Using a hosted provider such as a QuickNode Gnosis endpoint, which delivers low-latency global access, archive data, and enhanced reliability out of the box.
