| Protocol | BCHN JSON-RPC over HTTPS (POST) |
| Network | mainnet |
Bitcoin Cash Node (BCHN) keeps the bitcoind RPC dialect — the Bitcoin page patterns apply with the /bch path, with the differences below.
Quick test
bash
curl -X POST https://rpc.lab.au.ro/bch \
-H "apikey: $YOUR_API_KEY" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"1.0","id":1,"method":"getblockchaininfo","params":[]}'
# {"result":{"chain":"main","blocks":955006,...},"id":1}BCHN differences (live-verified)
estimatesmartfeedoes not exist — BCHN removed it. Useestimatefee(no arguments, returns BCH/kB), and remember BCH blocks are rarely full; 1 sat/byte usually confirms next block.- Addresses use CashAddr format (
bitcoincash:q...). Libraries:@psf/bch-jsorbitcore-lib-cashhandle CashAddr + signing; the broadcast path is the samesendrawtransaction.
Limitations
Same family limits as Bitcoin; plus the estimatesmartfee gap above.
