Litecoin
The Litecoin Gateway provides Litecoin Core-style JSON-RPC over HTTP for chain, block, and transaction data. Its native asset is LTC.
Supported networks
| Network | Chain ID | JSON-RPC Host |
|---|---|---|
| Mainnet | — | ltc-jsonrpc |
| Testnet | — | ltc-testnet-jsonrpc |
Litecoin does not use an EVM Chain ID. Copy the complete Access Point from the dashboard.
Endpoint-free calls
On an Accelerator hit, getblockchaininfo, getblockhash([height]), and getblock([hash, 3]) work without an Endpoint. See Accelerator for exact parameter forms and cache limitations.
Configure complete method access
Provider sync does not currently cover Litecoin:
- Create a Gateway for the target Litecoin network.
- Manually add a JSON-RPC Litecoin Endpoint on the same network and configure upstream credentials on the Endpoint.
- Add the Endpoint to the default JSON-RPC route and complete its health check.
- Call
getblockchaininfoand inspectchainto verify the network.
curl '<litecoin_access_point>' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <app_api_key>' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}'chain should be main on Mainnet and is normally test on Testnet.
Accelerator may answer getblockchaininfo. To verify your own Endpoint, also inspect its health check and route state.
Current limits
- Single Litecoin JSON-RPC calls over HTTP are supported; batch, WebSocket, ZMQ, and public gRPC are not.
- Electrum and vendor-specific REST endpoints are not exposed.
- Wallet methods, indexes, pruning, and historical data depend on upstream configuration.
- The Gateway does not manage node wallets or fail over between Mainnet and Testnet.
See JSON-RPC and Errors and troubleshooting for shared behavior.
