Shibarium (SHIB) API Documentation

Shibarium

Shibarium (SHIB) is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 using a Polygon-PoS-derived architecture, with Heimdall coordinating proof-of-stake validators and Bor producing EVM execution blocks that checkpoint to Ethereum. Solidity contracts compile to EVM bytecode against account-based state, while nodes maintain balances, contract storage, transactions, receipts, logs, checkpoints, and validator-related data. Because Bor preserves Ethereum execution semantics, standard EVM transaction formats, contract tooling, and JSON-RPC conventions remain the application-facing baseline while Heimdall handles network-specific consensus coordination.

Shibarium API Methods and Endpoints

NOWNodes exposes Shibarium's interface, plus a few others, depending on what your integration needs: JSON-RPC for reading chain state and broadcasting transactions, and Trace/Debug for step-level execution analysis. Archive mode extends any of these to historical states and data beyond standard retention.

Browse the interfaces below for endpoint details, request parameters, response formats, and integration examples. Create an API key, select Mainnet or Testnet, choose the required interface, and start sending requests from your applcation.
