How to Connect to Astar
Learn how easy it is to connect to the Astar blockchain via RPC or WebSocket with Blockdaemon.
It’s easy to connect to your Astar infrastructure via RPC or WebSocket.
If you haven’t already configured any Astar infrastructure, visit the Astar marketplace page to learn more about Blockdaemon’s Astar options.
Once you have purchased your Blockdaemon Astar infrastructure, your Blockdaemon Technical Account Manager (TAM) will send you the necessary access credentials.
