Moonbeam


Moonbeam API is available on Web3 API platform.

Moonbeam is the most Ethereum compatible smart-contract parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem. It combines the best of both worlds: the familiar and easy-to-use tooling of Ethereum and the scalable, interoperable architecture of Polkadot.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Moonbeam — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Moonbeam node. Developers interact with the blockchain using the methods provided by the API.

The API interaction follows the JSON-RPC which is a stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It defines several data structures and the rules around their processing. It is transport agnostic in that the concepts can be used within the same process, over sockets, over HTTP, or in other message-passing environments. It uses JSON (RFC 4627) as data format.
