BNB Smart Chain RPC Node
Fast, Affordable & EVM-Compatible

Q: What is BNB Smart Chain?

BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is a high-performance, EVM-compatible blockchain developed by Binance. It offers fast transactions, low fees, and full compatibility with Ethereum development tools.

Q: How much do BSC transactions cost?

BSC transaction fees typically range from $0.05 to $0.50 depending on network congestion, making it 20-50x cheaper than Ethereum mainnet.

Q: Is BSC compatible with Ethereum tools?

Yes, BSC is fully EVM-compatible. You can use MetaMask, Hardhat, Truffle, Remix, ethers.js, web3.py, and other Ethereum tools without modification.

Q: What is the difference between BSC and Binance Chain?

Binance Chain focuses on fast trading, while BNB Smart Chain supports smart contracts and dApps. BSC is EVM-compatible and runs in parallel with Binance Chain.

Q: How fast are BSC transactions?

BSC produces blocks every ~3 seconds with transaction finality typically achieved in 15-20 blocks (45-60 seconds for high-value transactions).

Q: Can I use the same address for BSC and Ethereum?

Yes, BSC uses the same address format as Ethereum. Your MetaMask address works on both networks, but assets are not automatically shared between chains.

Q: Do you support BSC testnet?

Yes, we provide RPC access to both BSC mainnet (Chain ID 56) and testnet (Chain ID 97) for development and testing.

Q: What are the rate limits for BSC RPC?

Free tier includes 100,000 requests per day. Paid plans offer higher limits starting from 1M requests/day with dedicated support.

Q: Do you provide archive node access?

Yes, our BSC nodes include full archive access for historical state queries and deep blockchain analysis. Available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Q: How do I switch from Ethereum to BSC in my dApp?

Simply change the RPC endpoint URL and Chain ID to 56. Most Ethereum contracts can be deployed to BSC without code changes.

What is a BNB Smart Chain RPC Node?

Fast and affordable blockchain infrastructure

A BNB Smart Chain RPC node provides developers with direct access to the BSC blockchain without the complexity of running infrastructure. It enables applications to read blockchain state, send transactions, interact with smart contracts, and monitor events in real-time.

Why choose BNB Smart Chain?

BSC offers the perfect balance between performance and decentralization. With 3-second block times and transaction fees often below $0.10, it's ideal for high-frequency trading, gaming, and mass-market DeFi applications that require fast execution and low costs.

BNB Smart Chain advantages:

Low transaction costs — 20-50x cheaper than Ethereum
High throughput — processes 2000+ transactions per second
Fast finality — 3-second blocks with quick confirmations
EVM compatibility — use Ethereum tools and contracts
Rich ecosystem — access to major DeFi protocols and exchanges

How BSC RPC works

BSC uses the same JSON-RPC interface as Ethereum, making it familiar to developers. Your application sends standard RPC calls (eth_call, eth_sendRawTransaction, etc.) to our endpoint, and receives responses from fully synchronized BSC nodes.

Request flow:

Application creates JSON-RPC request with BSC-specific parameters
Request sent via HTTPS or WebSocket to RPC endpoint
Load balancer routes to optimal node in the cluster
Node queries BNB Smart Chain and returns data
Response cached for frequently requested data

HTTPS vs WebSocket for BSC

HTTPS endpoints work perfectly for standard operations — querying balances, calling view functions, sending transactions, and batch requests.

WebSocket connections provide real-time updates crucial for DEX interfaces, price feeds, NFT monitoring, and trading bots that need instant notification of new blocks and events.

Supported RPC Methods

Our BSC RPC nodes support all standard Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC methods:

eth_blockNumber — current block height
eth_getBalance — BNB balance of address
eth_call — execute contract view functions
eth_sendRawTransaction — broadcast signed transactions
eth_getTransactionReceipt — transaction status and logs
eth_getLogs — event logs with filters
eth_gasPrice — current gas price (typically 3-5 Gwei)
eth_estimateGas — gas estimation for transactions
eth_subscribe — WebSocket subscriptions for real-time updates

Code Examples

💻

JavaScript (ethers.js) — Connect to BSC:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bsc/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Get latest block
const block = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log('BSC block:', block);

// Check BNB balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance), 'BNB');

// Get BNB price from PancakeSwap
const pancakeRouter = '0x10ED43C718714eb63d5aA57B78B54704E256024E';
const routerABI = ['function getAmountsOut(uint, address[]) view returns (uint[])'];
const router = new ethers.Contract(pancakeRouter, routerABI, provider);
const amounts = await router.getAmountsOut(
  ethers.parseEther('1'),
  ['0xbb4CdB9CBd36B01bD1cBaEBF2De08d9173bc095c', '0xe9e7CEA3DedcA5984780Bafc599bD69ADd087D56']
);
console.log('1 BNB =', ethers.formatEther(amounts[1]), 'BUSD');

💻

Python (web3.py) — BSC Connection:

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bsc/YOUR_API_KEY'))

print('Connected to BSC:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id)  # Should be 56
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)
print('Gas price:', w3.eth.gas_price, 'wei')

💻

WebSocket — Monitor PancakeSwap Events:

const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bsc/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');

// Monitor new blocks
provider.on('block', (blockNumber) => {
  console.log('New BSC block:', blockNumber);
});

// Monitor PancakeSwap Swap events
const pairAddress = '0x58F876857a02D6762E0101bb5C46A8c1ED44Dc16'; // WBNB-BUSD
const filter = {
  address: pairAddress,
  topics: [ethers.id('Swap(address,uint256,uint256,uint256,uint256,address)')]
};

provider.on(filter, (log) => {
  console.log('Swap detected:', log);
});
