peaq RPC Endpoint

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

peaq is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 focused on DePIN — machines, sensors, vehicles and connectivity hardware that register on-chain, authenticate themselves and earn for the data or services they provide.

About peaq

peaq extends the Cosmos SDK with an EVM execution environment, so smart contracts are Solidity-compatible while the chain also carries machine-identity and accounting primitives designed for devices rather than people. Machines get decentralised identities, can issue and pay for API calls, and rewards flow to the hardware operator.

The practical RPC picture is a standard eth_* surface against chain ID 3338, with PEAQ as the gas token. Workloads on peaq tend to look different from DeFi: high volumes of small, machine-initiated transactions, which usually makes throughput limits and rate limiting the thing to size for, not contract complexity.

Common Use Cases on peaq

• DePIN device registries
• Machine-to-machine payments
• Connectivity and sensor marketplaces
• Carbon and mobility data

Quick Start: Connect to peaq

cURL

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

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

viem

import { createPublicClient, http } from "viem";

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

const blockNumber = await client.getBlockNumber();

web3.py

from web3 import Web3

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