Step 1: To access Base, use the native access endpoint with the /http-rpc
at the end.
- Network: Base Mainnet
- Request Type: POST
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/base/mainnet/native/http-rpc
- Network: Base Testnet
- Request Type: POST
https://svc.blockdaemon.com/base/testnet/native/http-rpc
To access the available Optimism methods, use the native access endpoint with /op-http-rpc
at the end.

Step 2: You should authorize your request. Learn more: Authentication Guide
Step 3: Specify a Base method in the request body:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "YOUR_METHOD",
"params": []
}
Example Request
- Here is a cURL example for using eth_blockNumber to get the current block number in Base Testnet:
curl -X \
POST https://svc.blockdaemon.com/base/testnet/native/http-rpc \
-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:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": "0x17ba022"
}
