Learn more about Ink

What is Ink?

Ink! is Parity’s Rust-based smart-contract language for Substrate chains; it compiles to Wasm and adds type safety and testing tools.

How to get Ink RPC endpoint?

Open a free Chainstack account, then access your console. Hit Add node, pick the Ink network, and spin up your node with one click. Once it’s up, click Access & credentials and take your personal RPC endpoint into your dApp.

How to run an Ink node?

Launch an Ink-compatible Global Node on Chainstack to test Wasm contracts fast. Reserve a Dedicated Node for enterprise Substrate chains. Self-hosting needs Rust nightly toolchains, Wasm-opt passes, and relay topologies.

What is Ink RPC API?

Ink! contracts run on Substrate, whose nodes expose RPCs like contracts_call and contracts_subscribe. Developers pass SCALE-encoded inputs and receive raw byte outputs. Frontier adds eth-style wrappers for EVM compatibility.

How much does it cost to run a Ink RPC?

Running a Substrate node with ink! contract pallets costs about US $100-180 / month. Build pipelines and Wasm optimizations add people-hours. Using Chainstack’s Substrate RPC often wins on cost.

Is Ink RPC free?

Substrate dev nodes are free, yet community RPC can vanish. Chainstack’s free tier offers 3 million Ink/Frontier calls that stay online.

How to setup a Ink RPC?

Copy the Frontier RPC/WebSocket URL for your ink! chain in Chainstack. Provide that endpoint to Polkadot{.js} or to your Rust SDK to deploy Wasm contracts.

Notes for Ink API

Ink nodes provide standardized RPC interfaces using JSON-RPC, opening the chain to seamless development. Developers can integrate functionality into their apps with tools such as ethers.js for JavaScript or web3.py for Python environments.
