Telos


Telos API is available on Web3 API platform.

Telos EVM integrates the Telos blockchain's high performance with Ethereum's development environment. It offers fast transactions, low fees, and full compatibility with Ethereum tools and smart contracts. Key features include:

  • High Performance: Thousands of transactions per second with low latency.
  • Low Fees: Significantly cheaper transactions than Ethereum.
  • Compatibility: Supports Ethereum smart contracts and development tools like Solidity and Metamask.
  • Governance: Robust governance model allowing token holder participation.
  • Frontrunning Protection: Built-in mechanisms to prevent frontrunning, ensuring fairer transaction execution.
  • Arbitration: Dispute resolution mechanism to handle conflicts, enhancing trust and security.

In order for your Web3 application to interact with Telos — either by reading blockchain data or sending transactions to the network — it must connect to a Telos 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.
