Fantom
Opera client
Interact with your Fantom node using Opera.
-
Install Opera.
-
Use
opera attach
command with the node endpoint.opera attach YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT
where YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
-
Invoke any methods from Web3 JavaScript API.
Example below demonstrates how to get the balance of an address in wei value and convert it to ether value:

GraphQL
You can use GraphQL on a dedicated node on the Growth, Business, and Enterprise subscription plans.
UI
You can query data using the graphical interface.
- On Chainstack, navigate to your dedicated Fantom node. See node access details.
- Hover over GraphQL IDE URL and click Open.
- In the graphical interface that opens, run a GraphQL query.
Example to get the latest block number:
{ block { number } }
Node.js
You can build a web app to query data using Node.js and axios:
const axios = require('axios');
const main = async () => {
try {
const result = await axios.post(
'YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT',
{
query: `
QUERY
`
}
);
console.log(result.data);
} catch(error) {
console.error(error);
}
}
main();
where
- YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node GraphQL endpoint
- QUERY — your GraphQL query
See also node access details.

Create a new environment in
hardhat.config.js
:require("@nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle"); ... module.exports = { solidity: "0.7.3", networks: { chainstack: { url: "YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT", accounts: ["YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY"] }, } };
where
- YOUR_CHAINSTACK_ENDPOINT — your node HTTPS or WSS endpoint protected either with the key or password. See node access details.
- YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY — the private key of the account that you use to deploy the contract
-
Run
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network chainstack
and Hardhat will deploy using Chainstack.

Remix IDE
To make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node:
- Get MetaMask and set it to interact through a Chainstack node. See Interacting through MetaMask.
- In Remix IDE, navigate to the Deploy tab. Select Injected Provider - MetaMask in Environment.
This will engage MetaMask and make Remix IDE interact with the network through a Chainstack node.
