Node Providers |
To interact with Arbitrum One and the RinkArby testnet, you can rely on the same popular node providers that you are already using on Ethereum. There are multiple providers that may help you build on Arbitrum, here is a list of a couple of them.
Alchemy provides endpoints for both Arbitrum One (Mainnet) and Rinkeby testnet. To use these RPC endpoints, you need to create a free account and set up an Alchemy API key to authenticate your requests. For detailed steps of how to create one, see the Alchemy's documentation.
Next, depending one which network you want to interact with, you can choose between the two RPC endpoints provided by Alchemy and interact with them directly in the command line or point your wallet's RPC endpoints to them. For more information on Arbitrum JSON-RPC API methods supported by Alchemy, check out the official documentation.
Alchemy provides 300M compute units per month for free, or the equivalent of 30M getLatestBlock requests. Additional usage requires upgrading to a Growth Tier ($49 / month).
Infura is a node service provider that provides access to Arbitrum One (Mainnet) and Rinkeby testnet. To start interacting with either of these networks, you need to set up an Infura account and create a new key. For detailed steps, check out Infura's documentation.
You can now select which endpoint you want to connect to, this could be Arbitrum One, or it could be Rinkeby testnet.
Infura provides access to Arbitrum across all their subscription plans (Core Free, Developer, Team & Growth). See pricing & daily request rate limits
QuickNode supports Arbitrum One Mainnet, Goerli and Rinkeby testnet, as well as Arbitrum Nova Mainnet, and allows users to interact with these chains.
For a full guide of how to use an Arbitrum node on QuickNode, see the QuickNode's Arbitrum and Quicknode's Arbitrum Nova documentation.
Quicknode provides 10 million API credits per month for Arbitrum for free.
Moralis allows Arbitrum users and developers to connect to both Arbitrum One (Mainnet) and Rinkeby testnet. To do so, you need to create an account and choose the node you wish to connect to. You will then be presented with a pair of URLs (Arbitrum Mainnet and Testnet) with which you can interact with directly in the command line or point your wallet's RPC endpoints to them. For full guide and more explanation, see the Moralis's documentation.
Ankr provides access to both Arbitrum One (Mainnet) and Rinkeby Testnet. After creating an Ankr account, you will be presented with a pair of URLs which you can use to connect to any of our networks. For more details, see the Ankr's documentation.
BlockVision provides Arbitrum One mainnet and Rinkeby node services. See BlockVision Dashboard.
GetBlock is a service that provides instant API connection to full nodes of many leading blockchain networks, including Arbitrum One (Mainnet) available for shared and dedicated nodes and Rinkeby Testnet available for dedicated nodes.
