Ankr is excited to release IOTA EVM on our Web3 API service, the blockchain revolutionizing real-world use cases for blockchain! This is great news for developers looking to build advanced dApps on top of IOTA EVM.
Ankr’s API service provides connections to the IOTA EVM blockchain called RPC endpoints. These RPC endpoints enable developers and their decentralized apps to interact with and query IOTA EVM nodes, facilitating the creation and execution of dApps and the seamless exchange of information across the blockchain network. Thanks to these RPCs, builders have everything they need to build new social dApps, identity solutions, DeFi protocols, and other use cases on IOTA EVM.
Developers can now access IOTA EVM Public and Premium RPCs, make request calls, and receive information returns identical to those they would get by running a node themselves.
What is IOTA EVM?
IOTA EVM is the first fully EVM-compatible smart contract chain on the IOTA network, IOTA EVM enables scalable, fast and secure smart contracts
Benefits for Developers Choosing IOTA EVM:
- Flexible and Expandable: IOTA Chains are built on a multi-VM architecture that will allow them to support multiple execution engines in the future (currently, they support EVM).
- Magic Smart Contracts: Enable chains to interact and access functionalities beyond their standard capabilities for seamless L1-L2 asset transfers.
- Seamless Transfers & Trading: Trade freely with the ability to convert smart contract tokens to native tokens effortlessly, and vice versa.
- EVM Tooling: Fully compatible with EVM tooling like HardHat and MetaMask; libraries enable L1 interoperability features, such as automatic wrapping and bridging of ERC tokens.
What Are Ankr’s New IOTA EVM RPC Connections?
- Our IOTA EVM RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) connect your wallet, command-line interface, or decentralized applications with the IOTA EVM blockchain. They act as messengers or blockchain routers that relay on-chain information between IOTA EVM nodes, chains, and ultimately end-users so they can execute necessary tasks like transactions, populate wallet balances, fetch ownership information, and much more.
- IOTA EVM RPC endpoints are a gateway for developers to interface directly with IOTA EVM — a portal to communicate easily, remotely, and with no need to go through the DevOps of establishing their own IOTA EVM nodes.
- Ankr provides a geo-distributed IOTA EVM RPC comprised of blockchain nodes running worldwide for incredibly low latency and reliable connections.

How Do the IOTA EVM RPCs Help Developers?
Building with IOTA EVM is an excellent choice for creating high-performance and secure dApps, but requires access to the information on IOTA EVMnodes to do so. Therefore, Ankr’s RPCs solve the following developer troubles:
Eliminates complex node ops - IOTA EVM RPCs will completely remove the need for developers to set up their own IOTA EVM nodes, removing hours of time spent building, calibrating, and fixing node issues.
Grants access to advanced tools - Ankr’s Premium RPC Plan instantly grants access to the best tools to build applications quickly, including:
- At least 90,000 IOTA req/minute
- Dedicated IOTA endpoints
- Prioritized requests
- Priority support portal
- Enhanced WebSockets (WS) capabilities
Powers chains, applications, and open-source software that need access to IOTA EVM - Connect with a cluster of high-performance nodes that hold the information you need to build and operate applications with IOTA chain capabilities.
Supports the IOTA EVM network - Ankr will strengthen the IOTA EVM network globally by offering easier development and a broader, decentralized node infrastructure.
How to Make Your First Call to IOTA EVM
You can get started building on the IOTA EVM network by heading to our RPC Service to make your first call! You will be able to use the IOTA EVM endpoint to call the chain using the standard EVM JSON RPC methods.
