Bootnode

Getting Started

Build on any blockchain with a single API. Multi-chain RPC, Token APIs, NFT APIs, Smart Wallets, Fleet Management, and full observability.

Bootnode is the complete blockchain infrastructure platform. One API key gives you access to every major blockchain, real-time data indexing, smart wallet abstraction, webhook streaming, and full infrastructure management.

Quick Start

Get your API key from the dashboard and make your first RPC call:

curl -X POST https://api.bootno.de/v1/rpc/ethereum/mainnet \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_blockNumber",
    "params": [],
    "id": 1
  }'

Platform Overview

Bootnode provides six core product areas:

  • Multi-chain RPC — JSON-RPC and WebSocket endpoints for 30+ chains
  • Token & NFT APIs — Indexed ERC-20 balances, NFT metadata, transfer history
  • Smart Wallets — ERC-4337 account abstraction with gas sponsorship
  • Webhooks — Real-time event streaming for on-chain activity
  • Fleet Management — Deploy and scale validator nodes across networks
  • Infrastructure Services — Block explorers, bridges, DEXs, multisig wallets

SDKs

pip install bootnode

ZAP Protocol

For high-performance binary RPC, connect via the ZAP protocol:

from hanzo_zap import Client

async with Client.connect("zap://api.bootno.de:9999") as client:
    tools = await client.list_tools()
    result = await client.call_tool("rpc_call", {
        "chain": "ethereum",
        "method": "eth_blockNumber"
    })

Authentication

All API requests require authentication via API key or JWT token:

API KeyX-API-KeyX-API-Key: bn_live_abc123...
Bearer TokenAuthorizationAuthorization: Bearer eyJ...

API keys are scoped to projects. Create keys in Dashboard > API & Development > API Keys.
