BNB Smart Chain

BNB Smart Chain, a Geth fork running the Parlia proof-of-staked-authority consensus. Chain ID 56 (0x38), fees in BNB, blocks about every 0.75 s. Served by BSC Geth 1.7.8. Every example below was captured from a live response on this network.

Endpoint​

https://rpc.public.crouton.digital/mainnet/bsc

Public, no API key, JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS. Batch requests are supported, and the endpoint sends CORS headers for any origin, so browser clients can call it directly.

curl --request POST \
  --url https://rpc.public.crouton.digital/mainnet/bsc \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[]}'

The Try it console on this page calls exactly this endpoint from your browser, so every snippet it generates is the request that just ran.

Node notes
  • Blocks arrive roughly every 0.75 seconds, so ranges that are comfortable on Ethereum cover far less time here — keep eth_getLogs windows small.
  • Finality comes from Parlia fast finality; the finalized and safe tags are supported.
