Etherlink is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on Tezos using Smart Rollup technology, bringing Ethereum development to Tezos ecosystem with sub-second finality and decentralized sequencing. As a Tezos Smart Rollup, Etherlink benefits from Tezos's proven consensus while providing EVM compatibility for Solidity developers. The decentralized sequencer committee prevents censorship and centralization risks common in other rollups.

Access Tezos EVM rollup
An Etherlink RPC node provides applications with access to an EVM-compatible rollup on Tezos, enabling Ethereum developers to deploy contracts while benefiting from Tezos's proven consensus and Etherlink's decentralized sequencing. Etherlink bridges the Ethereum and Tezos ecosystems, combining familiar development experience with innovative rollup architecture.
Tezos offers proven consensus, formal verification capabilities, and on-chain governance. Ethereum has the developers and tooling. Etherlink combines both — deploy Solidity contracts using familiar tools while leveraging Tezos's security and Etherlink's decentralized sequencing innovation.
Etherlink advantages:
Smart Rollups are Tezos's Layer 2 solution enabling arbitrary execution while settling to Tezos L1. Etherlink is a Smart Rollup running EVM, providing Ethereum compatibility with Tezos security. The rollup's state and execution are verified by Tezos validators, inheriting L1 security guarantees.
How Etherlink works:
Most rollups use centralized sequencers creating censorship risks. Etherlink uses a decentralized sequencer committee preventing any single entity from controlling transaction ordering or censoring users. This maintains decentralization principles while achieving high performance.
This combination positions Etherlink as infrastructure bridging Ethereum and Tezos with strong decentralization guarantees.
Quick start for developers
Etherlink supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:
const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/etherlink/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Verify we're on Etherlink
const network = await provider.getNetwork();
console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 42793
// Get XTZ balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');
console.log('XTZ Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance));
// Deploy contract on Tezos rollup
const factory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, bytecode, wallet);
const contract = await factory.deploy();
await contract.waitForDeployment();
console.log('Contract on Etherlink:', await contract.getAddress());
console.log('Secured by Tezos with decentralized sequencing!');from web3 import Web3
w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/etherlink/YOUR_API_KEY'))
print('Connected to Etherlink:', w3.is_connected())
print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id) # 42793
print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number)
# Sub-second finality
gas_price = w3.eth.gas_price
print(f'Gas price: {gas_price}')
# Get XTZ balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x...')
print(f'XTZ: {balance / 1e18}')const { ethers } = require('ethers');
const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/etherlink/ws/YOUR_API_KEY');
// Monitor sub-second blocks
provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => {
const block = await provider.getBlock(blockNumber);
console.log(`Etherlink block ${blockNumber}: ${block.transactions.length} txs`);
});
// Monitor decentralized sequencer
const filter = {
topics: [ethers.id('Transfer(address,address,uint256)')]
};
provider.on(filter, (log) => {
console.log('Transfer via decentralized sequencer:', log);
