The Stack X Layer Builders Ship On

Quicknode is a leading X Layer RPC provider, serving mainnet and testnet over low-latency JSON-RPC from 17+ global regions with a 99.99% uptime SLA. You get private JSON-RPC and WSS endpoints, full archive data, the debug_*, trace_*, erigon_*, 그리고 zkevm_* namespaces, and real-time Streams and Webhooks, on a platform that handles 500B+ requests a month across 80+ chains.

X Layer is an EVM-compatible zkEVM built on the Polygon CDK by OKX, connecting the OKX and Ethereum ecosystems with low fees and zk security. It uses OKB as its native gas token. Mainnet runs on chain ID 196.

Create a free Quicknode account, select X Layer, and a private RPC URL is generated instantly. You get full method coverage and rate limits that scale with your plan. No credit card is required for the free tier.

An X Layer node is a server that validates blocks and answers JSON-RPC requests for the X Layer network. Running your own means managing sync, storage, upgrades, and archive retention. With Quicknode you connect to a managed X Layer endpoint with HTTPS and WSS, full archive access, and a 99.99% uptime SLA, with no infrastructure to maintain.

Quicknode supports the full X Layer Ethereum JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WSS, including eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_sendRawTransaction, 그리고 eth_subscribe, plus the debug_* 그리고 trace_* namespaces, the erigon_* archive methods, and the Polygon zkEVM zkevm_* methods like zkevm_batchNumber 그리고 zkevm_getBatchByNumber. Real-time Streams and Webhooks complete the data stack.

Yes. Quicknode serves X Layer historical data so you can query past blocks, transactions, and state for indexing and analytics. As a zkEVM, trace support follows the network client rather than a standard geth debug namespace.

Yes. X Layer is EVM compatible and built on the Polygon CDK. Deploy Solidity contracts with Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix, and use ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and @quicknode/sdk against your Quicknode endpoint. As a zkEVM, some low-level debug and trace behavior differs from a standard geth node.

Quicknode supports X Layer mainnet (chain ID 196) and testnet (chain ID 1952). Create a free account to get a private endpoint with JSON-RPC and WSS in seconds, with no credit card required.

Quicknode serves X Layer from 17+ global regions behind a 99.99% uptime SLA, with automatic failover and low-latency routing. The same infrastructure handles 500B+ requests a month across 80+ chains, so your X Layer apps stay responsive under load.

Quicknode offers a free tier for X Layer with no credit card required, so you can get a mainnet or testnet endpoint in seconds. Paid plans scale with request volume and add higher rate limits, and enterprise plans add dedicated infrastructure and a 99.99% uptime SLA.

X Layer mainnet uses chain ID 196 and OKB as the native gas token. The X Layer testnet uses chain ID 195. To add mainnet to a wallet, use your Quicknode RPC URL, chain ID 196, the currency symbol OKB, and the explorer at www.oklink.com/xlayer.

Use Quicknode Streams for backfill and real-time blocks, logs, and traces delivered to your datastore, and Webhooks for push notifications on addresses and events. For in-app subscriptions, connect over WSS and use eth_subscribe.

X Layer is built for DeFi and consumer apps bridging the OKX ecosystem: DEXes and trading, payments, and apps that want low zkEVM fees with access to OKX users.
