Connect to SKALE

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 via CLI

To connect via your command line interface, we recommend starting with cast, a command-line tool for interacting with Ethereum-based networks.

# Check the latest block number
cast block-number --rpc-url https://skale-base.skalenodes.com/v1/base

# Get chain ID
cast chain-id --rpc-url https://skale-base.skalenodes.com/v1/base

To install cast, first install Foundry.
