How this service works
Arbitrum One RPC (chain 42161): JSON-RPC over HTTPS on NodeFlare's own bare-metal nodes. Pay per request in USDC, no account or API key - built for AI agents. All methods including eth_getLogs, eth_call, trace, and debug (archive) - good for indexing, event queries, and simulation. Simple calls $0.001; heavy calls priced by compute units.
Output
Returns a standard JSON-RPC 2.0 response object containing a 'result' field with the requested blockchain data (e.g. hex balances, log arrays, block objects, trace arrays, call return values) or an 'error' field with code and message if the request fails.
Example use cases
DeFi protocol event indexing
“Fetch all Transfer events from the GMX token contract on Arbitrum One from block 150000000 to the latest block so I can index recent activity.”
Smart contract simulation
“Simulate calling the balanceOf function on the Arbitrum One USDC contract (0xaf88d065e77c8cC2239327C5EDb3A432268e5831) for my wallet address 0xabc123... without broadcasting anything.”
Archive transaction trace
“Run a debug trace on Arbitrum One transaction 0xdeadbeef... so I can see exactly which internal calls were made and why it failed.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://rpc.nodeflare.app/arb/x402?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need full archive access to Arbitrum One (chain 42161) including eth_getLogs, trace, and debug methods, without setting up an account or managing API keys — especially useful for AI agents that can pay per request in USDC via the x402 protocol. Prefer over free public RPCs when you need reliability, archive depth, or heavy compute methods.
Side effects
- Invalid JSON-RPC method name returns error code -32601 (method not found)
- Malformed params returns error code -32602 (invalid params)
- Insufficient USDC payment balance causes HTTP 402 payment required
- Block range too large for eth_getLogs may return error or timeout
- Calling debug/trace methods on a non-archive block that was pruned returns null or error
- Network congestion may increase response latency
