Monad RPC
Monad Overview
Monad is a Layer 1 blockchain built to scale the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), providing deterministic finality, low latency and low-cost transactions. It introduces MonadBFT, a consensus protocol inspired by HotStuff, designed to increase block throughput and minimize the risk of chain forks.
Monad is fully EVM-compatible, allowing developers to deploy existing Ethereum-based applications without changes. Its native token, Monad (MON), is used to pay for transaction fees.
Interacting with Monad’s APIs
Monad 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 Monad’s architectural differences, some RPC methods may behave differently from those on Ethereum. The QuickNode Monad documentation is continuously evolving as the chain undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Monad documentation for the latest updates and RPC differences.
Make Monad API Calls
The quickest way to start building on Monad is to create a QuickNode endpoint and send your first JSON-RPC request.
QuickNode provides managed Monad endpoints, giving you immediate access to the Monad 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
Visit the QuickStart page to create your endpoint and send your first request.
Supported Networks
QuickNode provides access to the following Monad networks:
