Base RPC Endpoint

The below example uses the public API endpoint*. This endpoint is only suitable for testing. To avoid rate limiting and service interruption, sign up now to get your own API key.
curl -H 'content-type:application/json' -d '{"id": 1, "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_blockNumber"}' 'https://base.api.onfinality.io/public'
https://base.api.onfinality.io/public

* The public endpoint is rate limited

Public Base RPC vs OnFinality Base RPC

Public endpoints are useful for quick tests, while authenticated OnFinality endpoints are designed for teams that need clearer limits, request visibility, and a path to higher-capacity infrastructure.

FactorPublic RPCOnFinality RPC
Best fit

Lightweight testing and simple experiments.

Team projects, backend services, and higher-volume workloads.

Access

Usually shared by many anonymous users.

Authenticated endpoint access through the OnFinality dashboard.

Observability

Usually offers limited request visibility.

Request analytics and usage visibility for supported RPC API plans.

Scaling path

May be rate limited or unsuitable for sustained production traffic.

A path from shared RPC APIs to higher-capacity plans or dedicated nodes where supported.

Base RPC FAQs

Can I use OnFinality for Base RPC?

Yes. OnFinality supports Base RPC access through managed API endpoints. Developers can use it for production dApps, wallets, DeFi products, analytics tools, games, bots, and backend services without running their own node.

What is a Base RPC endpoint?

A Base RPC endpoint is a network URL that applications use to read blockchain data, submit transactions, and connect backend services to Base.

What are the key facts about Base RPC on OnFinality?

Network environment: mainnet. RPC protocol: EVM JSON-RPC. Transport: HTTP. Advanced access: archive, trace. Common users: production dApps, wallets, DeFi products, analytics tools, games, bots, and backend services. Regions: available through OnFinality infrastructure.

How do I connect to Base with OnFinality?

Create or sign in to an OnFinality account, choose Base from the supported networks list, create an API endpoint or deploy a dedicated node if the network supports it, test the endpoint with the example method eth_blockNumber, then monitor request usage, errors, and limits before moving critical traffic.

Is Base RPC suitable for production apps?

Yes, Base RPC can support production applications when the endpoint plan, limits, latency, and monitoring match the workload.

When should I use private Base RPC instead of public RPC?

Use private or authenticated Base RPC when your team needs stable access, clearer usage limits, request analytics, backend reliability, or support for traffic beyond lightweight testing.

Does Base support archive or trace access on OnFinality?

Base lists archive and trace capability on this page. Availability can depend on plan and network configuration.
