Getting started with blockchain development

Ready to build on Geren? This guide will get you from signup to your first API call in minutes.

Step 1: Create your account

Visit dash.gerenchain.io and sign up with email or GitHub. Free tier is enough to follow along.

Step 2: Generate API keys

Navigate to your dashboard. Click Create Key. Scope it to a single chain to start.

Step 3: Make your first call

import { ethers } from "ethers";

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(
  "https://eth-mainnet.gerenchain.io/YOUR_API_KEY"
);

const block = await provider.getBlock("latest");
console.log(block.number);

Next steps

Once you're connected, explore archive nodes, webhooks, and our indexer SDK in the docs.
