Moonbeam 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.
Open In Polkadot JS
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"id":1, "jsonrpc":"2.0", "method": "chain_getBlock"}' 'https://moonbeam.api.onfinality.io/public'
https://moonbeam.api.onfinality.io/public
wss://moonbeam.api.onfinality.io/public-ws

* The public endpoint is rate limited

Use OnFinality for Moonbeam RPC endpoints, Moonbeam API access, and production infrastructure for EVM-compatible Polkadot applications. OnFinality supports teams looking for reliable Moonbeam RPC, archive access, and dedicated node options.

Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform on the Polkadot network that makes it easy to build natively interoperable applications. This Ethereum compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonbeam with minimal changes.

As a parachain on the Polkadot network, Moonbeam will benefit from the shared security of the Polkadot relay chain and integrations with other chains that are connected to Polkadot.

Public Moonbeam RPC vs OnFinality Moonbeam 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.

Moonbeam RPC FAQs

Can I use OnFinality for Moonbeam RPC?

Yes. OnFinality supports Moonbeam 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 Moonbeam RPC endpoint?

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

What are the key facts about Moonbeam RPC on OnFinality?

Network environment: mainnet. RPC protocol: Substrate 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: N.Virginia, Hong Kong.

How do I connect to Moonbeam with OnFinality?

Create or sign in to an OnFinality account, choose Moonbeam 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 chain_getBlock, then monitor request usage, errors, and limits before moving critical traffic.

Is Moonbeam RPC suitable for production apps?

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

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

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

Does Moonbeam support archive or trace access on OnFinality?

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