Zilliqa 2 APIs

The APIs implemented in Zilliqa 2 aim to provide the greatest possible compatibility with applications running on other EVM chains, as well as with applications developed for Zilliqa 1. Expand the menu on the left to navigate through the detailed documentation of the supported API methods.

Supported APIs

Zilliqa 2 supports APIs from a number of sources:

  • erigon_ and ots_ APIs are provided for compatibility with Zilliqa's fork of otterscan. These APIs are intended to be compatible with the otterscan json-rpc API spec.

  • Ethereum APIs (generally prefixed with eth_) are specified by the Ethereum JSON-RPC spec and intended to be compatible with Zilliqa 1, geth and erigon. Some reference material is also taken from QuickNode, Infura and Alchemy.

  • Zilliqa legacy APIs are intended, as far as possible, to be compatible with existing Zilliqa 1 applications. There are various differences due to the different construction of Zilliqa 2 which are noted on the individual API pages.

List of entry points

If an API is not mentioned in this table, support for it is not planned. Please open an issue or PR for APIs that you think should be included.

🟢 = Fully supported

🟠 = Partially implemented, full support planned

🔴 = Not yet implemented, full support planned

🔵 = Inapplicable to Zilliqa 2; we have no plans to implement it.

🟣 = Implemented, but not yet documented.
