# Monad

**Step 1:** To access Monad, use the following native access endpoint:

* **Network:** Monad Mainnet
* **Request Type:** POST

```
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/monad/mainnet/native
```

* **Network:** Monad Testnet
* **Request Type:** POST

```
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/monad/testnet/native
```

**Step 2:** Authenticate your request using your API key. You can include the API key using either of the following headers:

```curl Bearer Token
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

```curl X-API-Key
X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
```

**Step 3:** In the request body, specify a supported Monad method. For example:

> Learn more about Monad methods [here](https://docs.blockdaemon.com/reference/monad-methods-rpc-api).

```json
{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_blockNumber",
    "params": [],
    "id": 0
}
```

## Example Request

Here’s a sample cURL request using the Monad Mainnet and Testnet with the [`eth_blockNumber`](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/apis/json-rpc/#eth_blocknumber) method:

```curl Mainnet
curl -X POST \
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/monad/mainnet/native \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "eth_blockNumber",
  "params": []
}'
```
```curl Testnet
curl -X POST \
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/monad/testnet/native \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "eth_blockNumber",
  "params": []
}'
```

The following is a typical response you will get:

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": "0x52b7f9", 
  "id": 1
}
```
