SKALE is a network of many chains. You can connect to SKALE Chains with a variety of tools and SDKs, just like you do other EVM chains.

​
Connect to SKALE

To connect via your command line interface (CLI), we recommend starting with cast, a command-line tool for interacting with Ethereum-based networks. To install cast, you should first install Foundry. 
# Check block height
cast block-number --rpc-url https://skale-base.skalenodes.com/v1/base

​
SKALE Chains

The following are active sChains. SKALE Chains are built on different base networks - either Base or Ethereum. The bridge mechanism depends on the base network:
  • Base chains: Built on Base L2 with native bridge to/from Base
  • Ethereum chains: Built on Ethereum with IMA (SKALE Interchain Messaging Agent) bridge to/from Ethereum
