JSON-RPC Relay

The Hedera JSON-RPC Relay is an open-source project implementing the Ethereum JSON-RPC standard. It allows developers to interact with Hedera nodes using familiar Ethereum tools, allowing Ethereum developers and users to deploy, query, and execute contracts as they usually would. Check out the interactive OpenRPC Specification and a simple list of endpoints.

HBAR decimal places

The Hedera JSON RPC Relay msg.value uses 18 decimals when it returns HBAR. As a result, the gasPrice value returns 18 decimal places since it is only utilized from the JSON RPC Relay. Refer to the HBAR page for a list of Hedera APIs and the decimal places they return.

Community Hosted JSON-RPC Relays

Anyone in the community can set up their own JSON RPC relay that applications can use to deploy, query, and execute smart contracts. The list of community-hosted Hedera JSON RPC relays and endpoints for previewnet, testnet, and mainnet can be found in the table below, as well as their associated docs or websites.
