Monad RPC Endpoint

Fast, flat-rate Monad RPC node provider — free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket.

Monad is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain that is fully EVM-compatible while introducing parallel execution and a pipelined BFT consensus. SwiftNodes provides low-latency Monad RPC over HTTP and WebSocket across load-balanced upstream nodes.

About Monad

Monad launched its public mainnet in November 2025 as an EVM-compatible Layer 1 designed for high throughput. It uses MonadBFT, a pipelined consensus derived from the HotStuff BFT family, together with parallel transaction execution and an optimized state database, targeting sub-second block times and fast finality.

Because Monad is bytecode-compatible with the EVM, existing Solidity contracts and Ethereum tooling such as Foundry, Hardhat, viem, and ethers.js work without modification. The native MON token is used to pay gas and to stake for consensus participation, and the chain targets DeFi, NFTs, and other high-volume applications.

Common Use Cases on Monad

• High-throughput DeFi protocols
• On-chain order books and trading
• NFTs and on-chain games
• High-volume consumer applications
• EVM contracts ported without changes

Monad Ecosystem

Monad launched with a broad ecosystem of DeFi, NFT, gaming, and infrastructure projects, plus integrations from data and tooling providers such as Pyth.

Quick Start: Connect to Monad

cURL

curl -X POST https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/monad?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/monad?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
);

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

viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

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

const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();

web3.py

from web3 import Web3

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