Notes for Taiko API

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Taiko?

Taiko is a type-1 zkEVM that strives for full Ethereum equivalence so existing clients and tooling can verify rollup blocks unmodified.

How to get Taiko RPC endpoint?

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

Deploy a Global Node via Chainstack for type-1 zkEVM equivalence in minutes. Opt for a Dedicated Node when you validate proofs or run dApp testnets. Self-hosted solutions mean custom geth-taiko builds and calldata heavy syncs.

What is Taiko RPC API?

Taiko exposes Ethereum-equivalent JSON-RPC because it’s a type-1 zkEVM. The extra taiko_getProof endpoint lets wallets wait for L1 proof inclusion. In every other respect it feels just like Geth.

How much does it cost to run a Taiko RPC?

Taiko’s type-1 zkEVM node plus prover overhead lands around US $150-280 / month. GPU-based proving can double that. Using Chainstack’s Taiko RPC is typically the lowest-cost approach.

Is Taiko RPC free?

Taiko exposes free zkEVM endpoints, but proving queues can delay responses. Chainstack’s 3 million-request free tier lets you build without those slowdowns.

How to setup a Taiko RPC?

Pull the Taiko HTTPS endpoint from Chainstack Console. Paste it into MetaMask or update provider = new providers.JsonRpcProvider(<URL>) to hit Taiko.
