Kava RPC Endpoints & API | OnFinality

Kava is a Layer-1 blockchain that combines the speed and interoperability of the Cosmos SDK with Ethereum developer support through its unique co-chain architecture. This design enables developers to build decentralized applications that leverage both Cosmos and Ethereum ecosystems. The native token, KAVA, is used for governance, staking, and securing the network.

What is a Kava RPC Endpoint?

A Kava RPC endpoint is a network URL that allows applications to read blockchain data, submit transactions, and interact with smart contracts on the Kava network. Developers use RPC endpoints to connect wallets, DeFi protocols, analytics tools, games, and backend services to the blockchain without running their own node.

Kava RPC on OnFinality

OnFinality provides managed Kava RPC endpoints for developers who need reliable, scalable access to the Kava network. Our infrastructure supports both HTTP and WebSocket transports, and offers archive access for historical data queries. Whether you are building a production dApp, a wallet, or an IBC-enabled application, OnFinality's Kava RPC endpoints can handle your workload.

How to Connect to Kava with OnFinality

1. Create or sign in to your OnFinality account.
2. Select Kava from the supported networks list.
3. Create an API endpoint or deploy a dedicated node (if supported).
4. Test the endpoint using a simple JSON-RPC call (e.g., eth_blockNumber for EVM or status for Cosmos).
5. Monitor request usage, errors, and limits before moving critical traffic.

Why Use OnFinality for Kava RPC?

Public RPC endpoints are useful for quick tests, but they often lack reliability, clear usage limits, and observability. OnFinality provides authenticated endpoints with request analytics, usage visibility, and a clear scaling path from shared APIs to higher-capacity plans or dedicated nodes. This makes OnFinality ideal for teams that need stable, production-grade infrastructure.

Kava Archive Access

Archive nodes store the complete historical state of the blockchain, enabling queries for past data. OnFinality offers archive access for Kava, which is essential for analytics tools, explorers, and applications that require historical data. Availability depends on your plan and network configuration.
