zkSync Era WebSocket RPC

Stream zkSync Era data in real time over a WebSocket connection — new blocks, pending transactions, and contract events — instead of polling. Every SwiftNodes plan includes a zkSync Era WebSocket endpoint alongside HTTP, with flat-rate pricing and no KYC.

Endpoint

wss://rpc.swiftnodes.io/ws/zksync?key=YOUR_API_KEY

The HTTP endpoint for zkSync Era is https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/zksync?key=YOUR_API_KEY. One API key works for both, and across all 75+ supported chains.

Subscribe to zkSync Era in real time

import { createPublicClient, webSocket } from "viem";

const client = createPublicClient({
  transport: webSocket("wss://rpc.swiftnodes.io/ws/zksync?key=YOUR_API_KEY"),
});

// Stream new zkSync Era blocks as they're produced (~~1 second apart)
const unwatch = client.watchBlocks({
  onBlock: (block) => console.log("new block", block.number),
});

What you can subscribe to

• New block headers (newHeads) — react the moment a block lands
• Pending transactions (newPendingTransactions) — watch the mempool
• Contract event logs (logs) — filter by address and topics

zkSync Era is an zk-Rollup (zkEVM with native account abstraction), with ~~1 second block times and soft: ~1s. hard (l1): ~3-24 hours (zk proof submission) finality. That cadence sets how frequently new-block subscriptions fire.
