Discover the Moonbeam ecosystem, featuring the Moonbeam and Moonriver smart contract parachains. Build natively interoperable applications on Polkadot and Kusama with standard Ethereum tools.
The Moonbeam RPC documentation provides developers with essential endpoints to interact programmatically with the Moonbeam ecosystem, including Moonbeam (Polkadot), Moonriver (Kusama), and Moonbase Alpha (Testnet). As fully Ethereum-compatible parachains, these networks allow developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends with minimal changes. Beyond basic EVM compatibility, they offer native cross-chain interoperability (XCM) and on-chain governance. The documentation includes API endpoints for querying blockchain data, executing smart contracts, and managing transactions using standard tools like MetaMask, Hardhat, and Remix.

RPC Gateway for Moonbeam blockchain
Moonbeam RPC networks
Connect to Moonbeam and Fetch the Latest Block
This widget lets you instantly query the latest block height (or equivalent) for Moonbeam using a chain-specific RPC method like eth_blockNumber, getblockcount, or getBlockHeight. Useful for connectivity checks, uptime monitoring, or API testing.
Retrieve Moonbeam Node Status or Client Version via RPC
Use this pre-configured request to get version or status information for your connected Moonbeam node. Whether it's web3_clientVersion, getblockchaininfo, or chain-specific endpoints, the method is optimized for each supported blockchain.
Test Moonbeam RPC Methods in Postman
Explore and test Moonbeam blockchain methods instantly using our pre-configured Postman collection. Perfect for developers who want to experiment with Moonbeam RPC endpoints, validate API responses, or integrate Moonbeam into their applications.
How to use the Moonbeam Postman Collection
- Get your API key: Visit Tatum Dashboard to obtain your free API key
- Import the collection: Click the "Run in Postman" button below to import the Moonbeam collection
- Configure your environment: Update the
gateway-api-keyvariable in the Tatum Gateway environment - Start testing: Execute any Moonbeam RPC method and see real-time responses
Available Moonbeam interfaces and methods
