How this service works
XLayer RPC (chain 196): 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. One of the first independent x402 RPC providers for this chain.
Output
A standard JSON-RPC 2.0 response object containing either a 'result' field with the requested on-chain data (balance, logs, trace output, call return value, block info, etc.) or an 'error' field with code and message if the call failed.
Example use cases
Smart contract event indexing
“Fetch all Transfer events emitted by the USDC contract on XLayer between blocks 2000000 and 2001000 using eth_getLogs — I need to build an index of all transfers.”
Pre-send transaction simulation
“Use eth_call on XLayer chain 196 to simulate calling the 'swap' function on contract 0xDEADBEEF with my wallet 0xMYWALLET as the sender — I want to see if it reverts before I actually send it.”
Wallet balance check on XLayer
“What's the current ETH balance of wallet 0xAbCdEf1234567890 on XLayer right now? Use eth_getBalance on chain 196.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://rpc.nodeflare.app/xlayer/x402When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need full archive-depth JSON-RPC access to XLayer (chain 196) specifically, including heavy methods like eth_getLogs, trace_*, and debug_* that many public RPCs block or rate-limit. Ideal for AI agents and indexers that need pay-as-you-go billing in USDC with no account registration or API key management.
Side effects
- Invalid JSON-RPC method name returns error -32601 Method not found
- Malformed params array causes -32602 Invalid params
- Insufficient USDC payment causes 402 Payment Required before processing
- Requesting non-existent block or tx returns null result
- Rate or compute-unit overrun may return 429 or compute-unit pricing error
- Node temporarily unavailable returns 503 or connection timeout
