Build better with Moonbeam nodes

Run high-performing Moonbeam nodes in minutes on a platform built for scale.

Reliable Moonbeam Mainnet infrastructure

Chainstack makes sure you get access to robust and scalable infrastructure, ready for your Moonbeam journey, in a matter of minutes.

We take away the burden of managing it so that you can instantly focus on building and exploring data on Moonbeam RPC and API.

Get started

GLOBAL NODES Start fast with Global Moonbeam RPC Nodes

Global Moonbeam RPC Nodes provide personal, geographically diverse, and protected API* endpoints you can immediately start using to interact with Moonbeam Mainnet, starting at $0 per month.

Best throughput

Never be short on resources when you need them. Enjoy the highest throughput in the industry, regardless of traffic volumes. Need to handle a massive influx? Go for it.

No daily request limits

All our plans include class-leading monthly request volumes with no limits on the number or type of requests your DApp can make every day. Daily request limits? Who needs that?

Learn more

Global endpoint locations

Geo-load-balanced and distributed worldwide, Global Nodes automatically route requests to the nearest geo-located servers for the fastest service seamlessly.

Notes for Moonbeam API

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

Polkadot parachain with full EVM compatibility, enabling cross-chain interoperability via XCM.

You can also access Moonbeam 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Moonbeam?

Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible Polkadot parachain offering native cross-chain messaging so dApps can call any substrate or EVM contract in one transaction.

How to get Moonbeam RPC endpoint?

Sign up for a free Chainstack account and open your project dashboard. In the dashboard, choose Add node, select Moonbeam, 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 a Moonbeam node?

One click spins a Moonbeam Global Node on Chainstack with full XC-20 support. A Dedicated Node ensures private cross-chain calls. Managing it solo involves Substrate compiles, Frontier EVM tweaks, and parachain slot renewals.

What is Moonbeam RPC API?

Moonbeam’s Frontier layer delivers Ethereum JSON-RPC, while the underlying Substrate node offers state_ and chain_ namespaces. xc_integrate relays cross-chain messages. Developers choose either interface as needed.

How much does it cost to run a Moonbeam RPC?

Substrate + Frontier nodes cost roughly US $120-200 / month. XC-20 cross-chain traffic can raise that. Chainstack’s Moonbeam RPC lowers both capex and opex for most teams.

Is Moonbeam RPC free?

There are free Moonbeam RPC gateways, but crowdloan peaks can choke them. Chainstack’s free 3 million-request tier delivers better consistency.

How to setup a Moonbeam RPC?

Copy the Moonbeam HTTPS/WebSocket endpoint in Chainstack. Add it to MetaMask or use it in ApiPromise.create to switch to Moonbeam.
