BNB Smart Chain 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://bnb.api.onfinality.io/public'
https://bnb.api.onfinality.io/public
wss://bnb.api.onfinality.io/public-ws

* The public endpoint is rate limited

Innovation never sleeps, and it’s clear that the future goes Beyond Binance into a world of over 1 billion users. MetaFi is a key part of this process, helping to create a future where interoperability makes lives easier. BNB Chain’s mission is to build the infrastructure powering the world’s parallel virtual ecosystem, and BNB Chain’s commitment to the community is that it will be:

  • Open
  • Multi-chain
  • For creators and inventors
  • Permissionless
  • Forever decentralized
  • Bigger than and separate from Binance

BNB Chain is comprised of:

  • BNB Beacon Chain (previously Binance Chain) - BNB Chain Governance (Staking, Voting)
  • BNB Smart Chain (BSC) (Previously Binance Smart Chain) - EVM-compatible, providing consensus layers, with hubs to multi-chains

Public BNB Smart Chain RPC vs OnFinality BNB Smart Chain 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.

BNB Smart Chain RPC FAQs

Can I use OnFinality for BNB Smart Chain RPC?

Yes. OnFinality supports BNB Smart Chain 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 BNB Smart Chain RPC endpoint?

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

What are the key facts about BNB Smart Chain RPC on OnFinality?

Network environment: mainnet. RPC protocol: EVM JSON-RPC. Transport: HTTP and WebSocket. Advanced access: archive, trace, dedicated nodes. Common users: production dApps, wallets, DeFi products, analytics tools, games, bots, and backend services. Regions: Hong Kong, N.Virginia.

How do I connect to BNB Smart Chain with OnFinality?

Create or sign in to an OnFinality account, choose BNB Smart Chain 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 BNB Smart Chain RPC suitable for production apps?

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

When should I use private BNB Smart Chain RPC instead of public RPC?

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

Does BNB Smart Chain support archive or trace access on OnFinality?

BNB Smart Chain lists archive and trace capability on this page. Availability can depend on plan and network configuration.
