Rabdi

Rabdi is Arkiv’s current public testnet. You can build and test your app against a live network.

Connect your app

Call rabdi from the SDK with your access key, and pass the chain to a client:

import { createPublicClient } from "@arkiv-network/sdk"
import { rabdi } from "@arkiv-network/sdk/chains"
import { http } from "viem"

const client = createPublicClient({
  chain: rabdi({ accessKey: process.env.ARKIV_ACCESS_KEY ?? "" }),
  transport: http(),
})

Arkiv’s public RPC is heavily rate limited to prevent abuse, so get a free access key from the Arkiv Hub. With accessKey: "", the chain uses the public RPC and logs a warning.

For reading, writing and browser wallets, see Connect to Arkiv.

Tip

If you use a raw JSON-RPC client instead of the SDK, get the chain ID and RPC URL from the table, and add your access key. See the JSON-RPC API for the methods.

Get test tGLM

Arkiv uses GLM to pay for transactions. On Rabdi it’s test GLM, tGLM. Get some from the faucet.
