API Reference

Pod provides an Ethereum-like interface, so developers can use existing toolchains and wallets out of the box - ethers.js, viem, web3.py, alloy, cast, or any EVM-compatible library. No new SDKs or custom clients required.

import { ethers } from "ethers";

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider("https://rpc.v1.dev.pod.network");
const balance = await provider.getBalance("0xYourAddress");

Pod supports standard Ethereum RPC methods under the eth_ namespace, with a few differences due to Pod's blockless architecture. Pod also introduces additional namespaces for protocol-specific and orderbook functionality:

• JSON-RPC - Standard eth_ methods, Pod-specific pod_ extensions, and orderbook data via ob_ endpoints.

• Applications (Precompiles) - Enshrined on-chain applications (orderbook, auctions) exposed as precompile contracts, callable via eth_call and eth_sendRawTransaction.

• Network Config - Chain ID, RPC URLs, faucet, and explorer for the live devnet.
