Learn more about Astar

What is Astar?

Astar is Polkadot’s EVM-plus-Wasm parachain that rewards dApp staking and bridges Japanese enterprises to multichain DeFi.

How to get Astar RPC endpoint?

Create a free account at Chainstack and log in to the console. Click Add node, pick Astar (mainnet or testnet), and deploy a dedicated node in seconds. When the node shows as running, go to Access & credentials to copy your HTTPS and WebSocket RPC endpoints.

How to run an Astar node?

Tap a Chainstack Global Node to join Astar’s EVM+Wasm parachain effortlessly. Reserve a Dedicated Node to host dApp staking services. Self-hosting is days of compiling substrate, managing para-ID keys, and wrestling with Wasm runtimes.

What is Astar RPC API?

Astar’s nodes provide Substrate WebSocket RPC plus Frontier’s EVM JSON-RPC layer. Developers can query Wasm contracts through state_call or EVM contracts via eth_call with the same endpoint. This dual runtime supports both ink! and solidity dApps.

How much does it cost to run a Astar RPC?

Astar’s dual EVM/Wasm chain needs Substrate performance hardware—around US $120-250 / month. Archive or dApp staking analytics raise storage further. Chainstack delivers Astar RPC far more economically for typical use cases.

Is Astar RPC free?

Free Astar gateways exist, but they can drop Wasm calls during crowdloan events. Chainstack offers the same price point—free—and 3 million solid requests each month.

How to setup a Astar RPC?

Copy your Astar node’s endpoint in Chainstack. Insert it into the Polkadot{.js} extension or set the URL in ethers-providers to switch your app to Astar.

Notes for Astar API

When communicating with an Astar node, the client implements a JSON-RPC specification compatible with Ethereum on its EVM layer. The recommended libraries are ethers.js for JavaScript or web3.py for Python.

Polkadot parachain with both EVM and Wasm smart contract support, bridging Ethereum and Substrate ecosystems.

You can also access Astar directly through the Chainstack MCP server — query live on-chain data, deploy nodes, request testnet funds from the faucet, and search Chainstack docs from Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Codex, Pi, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible or SKILL-compatible AI agent.
