zkSync RPC connection via cURL

Use cURL to establish a zkSync RPC connection with the following command:

  • Replace YOUR_NODE_URL with the node URL in the Blockdaemon app.
  • Replace YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN with the Auth Token in the Blockdaemon app.
  • Replace RPC_METHOD with your chosen RPC method.
  • Replace METHOD_PARAMS with params of your chosen method.
