How to Get a BNB Smart Chain (BSC) RPC Endpoint

Step-by-step guide to getting a fast, reliableBSC RPC endpoint

BNB Smart Chain remains one of the most active blockchains for DeFi, trading bots, and dApp development. With block times under 3 seconds and significantly lower gas fees than Ethereum, BSC handles massive transaction volumes, and your RPC infrastructure needs to keep pace.

This guide walks you through setting up BSC RPC access with GetBlock, from free development endpoints to Accelerated Dedicated Nodes with private mempool support.

Step-by-Step: Get Your BSC RPC Endpoint

Create a GetBlock Account

Go to GetBlock Dashboard and sign up. You can register with email or via Google/GitHub OAuth.

Create a BSC Endpoint

Once logged in:

Click "Shared Nodes" in the left sidebar
Click "Create New Endpoint" or the "+" button

Select:
- Protocol: BSC
- Network: Mainnet or Testnet
- API Interface: JSON-RPC or Websocket or GraphQL or MEV-Protected(JSON-RPC) or MEV-Protected(Websocket)
- Region: Frankfurt (EU) or Singapore or New York
Click "Create": Your endpoint URL will be generated immediately.

Copy Your Endpoint URL

Your endpoint URL looks like this:

https://go.getblock.io/a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678abcdef01/

The long string after go.getblock.io/ is your access token — keep it private.

Test the Connection

curl -X POST https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
  "jsonrpc":"2.0",
  "method":"eth_chainId",
  "params":[],
  "id":1
  }'

Code Examples

# Get USDT balance on BSC using eth_call
curl -X POST https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "method": "eth_call",
    "params": [{
      "to": "0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955",
      "data": "0x70a08231000000000000000000000000YOUR_ADDRESS_WITHOUT_0x"
    }, "latest"],
    "id": "getblock.io"
  }'

import { JsonRpcProvider, formatEther } from "ethers";

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider(
  "https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/"
);

// Get BNB balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance("0x8894E0a0c962CB723c1ef41B18a7bb7E76FB4675");
console.log(`Balance: ${formatEther(balance)} BNB`);

// Get gas price
const gasPrice = await provider.getFeeData();
console.log(`Gas price: ${gasPrice.gasPrice} wei`);

// Read a BEP-20 token balance (e.g., USDT on BSC)
const usdtContract = new Contract(
  "0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955", // BSC USDT
  ["function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint256)"],
  provider
);
const tokenBalance = await usdtContract.balanceOf("0x...");

from web3 import Web3

w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider("https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/"))

print("Connected:", w3.is_connected())
print("Chain ID:", w3.eth.chain_id)  # 56 for BSC Mainnet
print("Latest block:", w3.eth.block_number)

# Get BNB balance
balance = w3.eth.get_balance("0x8894E0a0c962CB723c1ef41B18a7bb7E76FB4675")
print(f"Balance: {w3.from_wei(balance, 'ether')} BNB")

Connect MetaMask to BSC via GetBlock

Open MetaMask → Add Network → Add manually
Enter:
- Network Name: BSC Mainnet (GetBlock)
- RPC URL: https://go.getblock.io/<YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN>/
- Chain ID: 56
- Symbol: BNB
- Explorer: https://bscscan.com
Save

BSC Advanced Tooling — Exclusive to GetBlock

Accelerated Dedicated Node

GetBlock offers BSC-specific infrastructure with an integrated BloXroute BDN (Blockchain Distribution Network):

Private Mempool Submission

Submit transactions to a private mempool, bypassing the public mempool entirely:

MEV protection — your transactions aren't visible to sandwich bots
Higher landing rate — direct submission to block producers
Priority fee support — set custom priority fees for faster inclusion

How to Submit to Private Mempool

Bundle Support (Multicall3)

Execute multiple transactions atomically:

All-or-nothing execution
MEV-resistant operations
Complex DeFi strategies in a single block

How to Use Bundles

Stream Subscription

Subscribe to real-time BSC data streams:

New pending transactions
New blocks
Transaction receipts
