Starknet JSON-RPC version endpoints

Chainstack Starknet endpoints support sending requests to different JSON-RPC API versions. For versions, see the Pathfinder GitHub repository.

To send a request to a specific version, append your Chainstack Starknet endpoint with the version URL suffix. For example, /rpc/v0_6.

Check the following examples.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://starknet-mainnet.core.chainstack.com/365cf697a3ad6d950b4c4a911e2e4f4d/rpc/v0_4 \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '
{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "starknet_getNonce",
  "params": [
    {
      "block_number": 385940
    },
    "0x0569b13e8164bc8000c0bbcf4887856516643af123c5bc3b01e229e92f9cfd10"
  ]
}

What is the Starknet

Starknet is a decentralized, permissionless and scalable zk-rollup, extending the Ethereum blockchain’s capabilities. It is designed to enhance scalability, reduce gas fees, and maintain a high level of security. Starknet uses zk-STARKs technology to achieve these goals, providing a scalable and decentralized solution for Layer-2 scaling.

Starknet provides a robust and efficient network with cross-chain bridges for seamless interactions.

What is the Starknet API

The StarkNet API allows developers to communicate with the Starknet network.

How to start using the Starknet API

To use the Starknet API, you need access to a Starknet RPC node.

Follow these steps to deploy a Starknet RPC node, and find your endpoint credentials:

Now you are ready to connect to Starknet and use the Starknet API to build.
