Plasma
Available for Premium and Enterprise users only.
Plasma API is available on Web3 API platform.
Plasma is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 built for stablecoin payments. It pairs PlasmaBFT consensus with a Reth-based execution layer, uses XPL (18 decimals) as its native gas token, and produces a block about every second. The chain ID is 9745.
The examples on these pages run against mainnet, https://rpc.ankr.com/plasma/YOUR_ANKR_API_KEY. Over WSS, connect to wss://rpc.ankr.com/plasma/ws/YOUR_ANKR_API_KEY.
Your Web3 application reads Plasma data and sends transactions through a Plasma node, calling the methods of its 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.
Methods supported

Debug methods:
debug_traceBlockByHash: traces the execution of all transactions within a block specified by hash.debug_traceBlockByNumber: traces the execution of all transactions within a block specified by number.debug_traceBlock: traces the execution of all transactions within a block.debug_traceTransaction: traces the execution of a transaction specified by hash.debug_traceCall: traces a call executed on top of the state of a block specified, without creating a transaction.
Not available on Plasma:
There is no trace_* module; for call traces use the debug_trace* methods above. See Unsupported methods for the full list.
