Frequently Asked Questions

What is Avalanche?

Avalanche consists of the P-, X-, and C-chains plus customizable subnets; its Snowman consensus lets thousands of validators finalize transactions in under two seconds.

How to get Avalanche RPC endpoint?

Sign up for a free Chainstack account and open your project dashboard. In the dashboard, choose Add node, select Avalanche, and provision either a dedicated node or an elastic cluster. After the node syncs, open Access & credentials and grab the RPC URL for immediate integration.

How to run an Avalanche node?

Provision a Global Node on Chainstack to connect to the P-, X-, and C-chains with a single click. Move up to a Dedicated Node for validator staking and subnet experiments. Self-hosting demands multi-network configs, large bandwidth ceilings, and nightly AvalancheGo upgrades.

What is Avalanche RPC API?

Avalanche’s C-Chain RPC follows Ethereum JSON-RPC, while P- and X-chains use Avalanche-specific REST and gRPC interfaces. Smart-contract developers hit the C-Chain for eth_* calls and use avalanche.getBalance for cross-subnet assets. WebSocket streams deliver pending transactions at millisecond latency.

How much does it cost to run a Avalanche RPC?

Avalanche’s three-chain architecture uses ample storage and CPU; in AWS this can land between US $150 and US $400 / month. Subnet experimentation bumps the figure upward. Many teams cut that spend dramatically by leaning on Chainstack’s managed Avalanche RPC.

Is Avalanche RPC free?

Public Avalanche C-Chain gateways won’t charge you, yet they frequently cap requests or drop WebSocket streams. Chainstack’s free allowance of 3 million calls keeps your dApp alive without hidden costs.

How to setup a Avalanche RPC?

Take the Avalanche C-Chain URL from Chainstack. Slot it into MetaMask (Network → Add) or change AVAX_RPC env var in your server for instant C-Chain connectivity.

Notes for Avalanche API

When communicating with a Avalanche RPC node, the Avalanche client implements a JSON-RPC specification, a communication protocol allowing one to make remote calls and execute them as if they were made locally.

The Avalanche API allows developers to communicate with the Avalanche blockchain to build applications. The best way to use the Avalanche API is to use a web3 library such as ethers.js if using JavaScript or web3.py using Python.
