Rust Integration
Connect to 256 Blocks using Rust
256 Blocks provides full compatibility with Rust applications through the Ethereum Rust ecosystem. Choose the library that best fits your project's needs.
Available Libraries
| Library | Description |
|---|---|
| Alloy | Modern, high-performance library (recommended for new projects) |
| ethers-rs | Established library with comprehensive features |
Choosing a Library
- Alloy is the recommended choice for new projects. It's a complete rewrite with improved performance, better documentation, and is actively maintained by the same team that created ethers-rs.
- ethers-rs is a mature library that many existing projects use. While still functional, new projects should prefer Alloy.

RPC Endpoint
Use the following endpoint format:
https://rpc.256blocks.com/{chain}Supported chains include ethereum, base, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, and bsc.
