Arc mainnet is now liveGet started with RPC, Streams, and Webhooks.
Create an endpointConnect to X Layer mainnet and Testnet with low-latency RPC, full archive data, debug and trace APIs, and real-time Streams. The complete X Layer data stack, managed from a single Quicknode dashboard.
SOC 2 Type II Certified · ISO 27001
X Layer builders need more than basic RPC. Quicknode runs the full surface: low-latency JSON-RPC, historical data, and real-time Streams, all from one dashboard.
Query, subscribe, and stream X Layer data with low latency. From a single eth_call to billions of rows of historical logs, you get the right interface for the job.
Multiple ways to access X Layer data, from a single eth_call to real-time streams. Pick the interface, ship faster.
Standard JSON-RPC over HTTPS and WSS on X Layer mainnet and X Layer testnet. Every EVM method supported, including eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_getBalance, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_subscribe, with predictable rate limits.
X Layer is an EVM-compatible zkEVM built on the Polygon CDK by OKX, so the tooling you already know works unchanged. ethers.js, web3.js, viem, and web3.py all hit a Quicknode X Layer endpoint the same way they hit Ethereum. Same methods, same SDK, just a different RPC URL.
Point your existing Ethereum codebase at a Quicknode X Layer endpoint and deploy. Contracts, libraries, and tooling carry over.
Open MetaMask, go to Settings, Networks, Add Network, and enter your Quicknode X Layer RPC URL with the details on the right. Save, and MetaMask routes through your private Quicknode endpoint instead of a rate-limited public RPC.
Docs, guides, and runnable sample apps for every X Layer workload. Clone, customize, and ship.
Full reference for every X Layer JSON-RPC method, WebSocket subscription, and the debug and trace namespaces. Code examples for @quicknode/sdk, ethers.js, web3.js, and viem.
Indexes token transfers on an EVM chain using Quicknode Streams and delivers them to your own datastore and API. Works unchanged on X Layer.
From your first X Layer endpoint to mission-critical production workloads, Quicknode scales with you. Get started in minutes.
Spin up your X Layer endpoint and ship. The free tier covers prototyping and small production loads, no credit card required.
Dedicated X Layer infrastructure, contractual SLAs, priority support, and procurement-ready terms for wallets, exchanges, trading firms, and high-volume protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have unanswered questions? Reach out to support and the Quicknode team can help you find answers.
The Ethereum toolchain you already know works unchanged on X Layer. Deploy contracts, manage endpoints, and ship from one Quicknode account.
Full historical X Layer state with no pruning, served by Erigon. Query any block, balance, or contract state from genesis over HTTPS and WSS.
Backfill and real-time X Layer blocks, logs, and traces delivered to your datastore with guaranteed reliability. Filter upstream, receive only the data you actually need.
Event-driven alerts with guaranteed delivery. Subscribe to specific addresses, event types, or onchain conditions.
Trace execution with trace_transaction and trace_block, access archive data via the erigon_ methods, and read Polygon zkEVM rollup batches with zkevm_batchNumber and zkevm_getBatchByNumber.
Subscribe to new X Layer blocks and logs over a persistent WSS connection with eth_subscribe. Push updates the moment they land, with no polling.
eth_call, eth_getLogs, eth_sendRawTransaction, and eth_subscribe all behave exactly as they do on Ethereum.
