Networks

Provision and operate blockchain networks — a chain, its validator and RPC nodes, live status, and an RPC endpoint your apps can call. Networks are backed by Bootnode ("Web3 Backend in a Box"), which runs Lux-style sovereign L1/L2 networks locally or in the cloud.

Provision a Network

Create a network from Web3 → Networks in the console. Each network gives you:

• a chain with its own chain ID and genesis,
• nodes — validators plus public RPC nodes,
• status — health and block height,
• an RPC endpoint for wallets, tools, and contracts.

Shared Hanzo networks and your own dedicated networks are reconciled by the same control plane.

Chain Access (RPC)

Each network exposes a standard EVM JSON-RPC endpoint. Copy the RPC URL from Networks → your network → RPC, then call it like any Ethereum node:

curl $RPC_URL \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "eth_blockNumber",
    "params": []
  }'

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x1a2b3c" }

The same endpoint serves eth_chainId, eth_getBalance, eth_call, eth_sendRawTransaction, and the rest of the JSON-RPC surface.

Nodes & Status

The console lists each network's nodes with their health, current block height, and peer count. Add RPC capacity or validators from the same page; the control plane provisions and reconciles them.
