Gnosis RPC Endpoint

Flat-rate Gnosis RPC provider and Gnosis RPC node access: free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket. Gnosis mainnet chain ID 100.

Gnosis Chain is an EVM-compatible chain with stable, predictable transaction costs paid in xDai (USD-pegged stablecoin). It's secured by a large validator set (similar to Ethereum) and is widely used for community payments, DAO operations, and Safe (Gnosis Safe) multi-sig deployments.

About Gnosis

Gnosis Chain — originally xDai — runs the same consensus mechanism as Ethereum (proof-of-stake) with a separate validator set. It pioneered using a stablecoin (xDai) as the gas token, making transaction costs predictable for end users.

The chain is the home of Safe (formerly Gnosis Safe) — the dominant smart-contract wallet in crypto — and hosts active community-funded experimentation in DAO tooling, prediction markets (Omen / native Gnosis pioneer territory), and stable payments.

Common Use Cases on Gnosis

• Community payments with stable gas costs
• Safe multi-sig deployments
• DAO operations and treasury management
• Prediction markets (Omen, native Gnosis primitive)
• Web3 onboarding via Gnosis Pay (Visa-compatible debit card)

Gnosis Ecosystem

Safe (multi-sig wallet — the standard across crypto), Gnosis Pay (Visa debit card), CowSwap (DEX with batch settlement), Honeyswap, and a vibrant DAO-tooling ecosystem.

Quick Start: Connect to Gnosis

cURL

curl -X POST https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

ethers.js

import { JsonRpcProvider } from "ethers";

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider(
  "https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
);

const blockNumber = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log("Gnosis block:", blockNumber);

viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

const client = createPublicClient({
  transport: http("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY"),
});

const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();

web3.py

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/gnosis?key=YOUR_API_KEY"))
print("Gnosis block:", w3.eth.block_number)
