BNB Smart Chain
Infura provides Open Beta access to BSC. During this period, there might be feature limitations. Performance issues are not expected, but they are possible as we optimize and stabilize the service.
Archive requests are supported on BSC Mainnet only. BSC Testnet only supports near head requests (the last 128 blocks).
Be aware of this limitation when making calls
to API calls to methods such as eth_getStorageAt,
eth_getTransactionReceipt, and
eth_getTransactionByHash on BSC Testnet.
BNB Smart Chain is a self-sovereign blockchain with elected validators running a Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA) consensus protocol. It is EVM-compatible and supports existing Ethereum tooling.
