GetBlock Adds IOTA EVM RPC Support for RWA & DeFi Builders

GetBlock launches IOTA EVM RPC infrastructure for app builders

GetBlock has expanded its RPC coverage with IOTA EVM, the Layer 2 smart contract chain anchored to the IOTA network. Following GetBlock's recent integration of IOTA L1, managed IOTA EVM RPC endpoints and nodes are now live on the platform.

IOTA’s latest direction puts real-world utility at the center of its ecosystem, with a growing focus on onchain infrastructure for trade, identity, and value transfer. That makes IOTA EVM especially relevant for builders who want Ethereum tooling on top of a network evolving toward real-world relevance.

GetBlock provides the RPC foundation for builders to launch and scale within the IOTA ecosystem without running their own nodes.

IOTA EVM RPC nodes on GetBlock: Highlights

GetBlock's IOTA EVM RPC provides multi-region production-grade endpoints for DeFi, NFT, GameFi, RWA applications running on IOTA’s L2.

IOTA EVM is the Layer 2 chain on top of the IOTA network – an EVM-compatible on-ramp to the IOTA ecosystem’s broader stack of tokenized trade infrastructure, regulated custody, and real-world deployments in global supply chains and digital identity.
For teams building in the Ethereum ecosystem, IOTA EVM offers a familiar development experience with the added benefit of an ecosystem oriented around real-world infrastructure.
GetBlock infrastructure delivers IOTA EVM connectivity through JSON-RPC and WSS APIs, a highly customizable Enterprise tier for workloads that outgrow standard tiers, and private infrastructure deployments.

GetBlock's IOTA RPC plans scale from lightweight endpoints to fully isolated dedicated nodes, deployable across Frankfurt, New York, and Singapore - pricing starting from $39/month. See which tier fits your use case.

What is IOTA EVM?

IOTA EVM is the blockchain that sits alongside the Move-based IOTA L1, which GetBlock added to its RPC stack in April. Together, they cover both sides of IOTA's multi-VM architecture – Move smart contracts natively on L1, and Solidity dApps via the EVM L2 with:

Full EVM compatibility – tooling like Hardhat, Foundry, Ethers.js, Web3.js, and MetaMask work out of the box on IOTA EVM
Fast blocks – ~2-second block times with quick finality
Cross-chain reach – LayerZero-backed asset flows from 150+ networks via Stargate V2
L1 anchoring – settlement into the IOTA network, with bridging between IOTA L1 assets and EVM-side representations

Over the past 18 months, IOTA has been reshaping its identity around an ambitious mission: supporting the “world onchain” through infrastructure for commerce, identity, and digital coordination.

IOTA EVM, the Ethereum-compatible Layer 2, is the path of least resistance for Ethereum teams who want exposure to IOTA's real-world footprint without rewriting their stack. It also provides grounds for the standard EVM use cases like DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, DAOs, plus RWAs.

GetBlock is glad to bring fast, reliable RPC connectivity to the teams building there.

How to connect to IOTA EVM with GetBlock API

Shared nodes provide an immediate RPC access to GetBlock’s managed IOTA EVM infrastructure. The endpoints provision instantly once you configure it inside your account:

Select "Get Endpoint" inside the dashboard
Pick IOTA EVM as the network and choose your API interface (JSON-RPC or WebSocket)
Select your server region – Frankfurt, New York, or Singapore
Toggle archive mode for historical state access
Copy the endpoint URL and use it in your app

steps to set up IOTA EVM JSON-RPC endpoint URL

This setup works well for developers who want a low-friction way to test, launch, and scale on IOTA EVM network without committing to a fully custom infrastructure arrangement from day one.

If you need more advanced infrastructure, the dedicated node configurator inside the GetBlock dashboard makes it easy to deploy private IOTA nodes.

IOTA EVM dedicated nodes for ultimate scaling

Dedicated nodes give your IOTA EVM deployment isolated hardware and capacity that matters for workload and applications where customizability, predictable latency, highest availability, and uptime are the main concerns.

The dashboard configurator walks you through the dedicated node setup:

Region – Frankfurt, New York, or Singapore
Mode – full node or archive node
API interface – JSON-RPC and WebSocket
Tuning – add-ons and configuration specific to your use case

The difference with shared nodes is the level of customization. Dedicated customers can work directly with our engineering team to shape the deployment around real requirements rather than a fixed template.

For custom SLAs, on-premise or hybrid setups, specialized hardware, or multi-chain bundles alongside IOTA EVM, reach out to the team directly.

From IOTA L1 to IOTA EVM: full RPC coverage on GetBlock

IOTA EVM is especially relevant for developers who want EVM tooling on a network designed with practical adoption in mind. On one side, the EVM ecosystem with its tooling, talent, and existing codebases. On the other, IOTA's real-world stack – national-scale trade pilots, regulated custody, tokenized RWAs, and verifiable identity

With both IOTA L1 and IOTA EVM live on the platform, GetBlock's infrastructure service delivers the latency profile, regional coverage, and deployment flexibility IOTA builders expect.
