Telos EVM RPC Endpoint

Flat-rate Telos EVM RPC provider and Telos EVM RPC node access: free tier, no KYC, HTTP & WebSocket. Telos EVM mainnet chain ID 40.

Telos EVM is a high-throughput EVM layer running on the Telos Layer 1, which uses Antelope (formerly EOSIO) delegated proof-of-stake consensus. It offers sub-second blocks, fixed low fees, and front-running resistance through fair transaction ordering.

About Telos EVM

The Telos Layer 1 launched in 2018 on EOSIO/Antelope software, and the Telos EVM was added later to give Ethereum developers access to its delegated proof-of-stake performance. The underlying chain produces blocks roughly twice per second, giving sub-second block times with fast deterministic finality.

Telos uses a set of elected block producers under Antelope DPoS, and its EVM is implemented as a native runtime rather than a separate chain. It emphasizes fixed, predictable gas fees and a no-front-running transaction ordering model, targeting DeFi, gaming, and applications sensitive to MEV.

Common Use Cases on Telos EVM

• Low-fee DeFi protocols
• Blockchain gaming
• MEV-resistant transaction ordering
• High-throughput dApps
• Token issuance and payments

Telos EVM Ecosystem

The ecosystem includes DeFi venues such as Zappy and Omnidex, along with native Telos governance and infrastructure projects.
