Build faster with production-ready APIs, smart wallets and rollup infrastructure across 70+ chains. Create your free Alchemy API key and get started today.
Tea Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer-2 built on Optimism’s OP Stack that powers the Tea Protocol’s on-chain registry and rewards for open-source software.
The Tea API allows interaction with the Tea network through a set of JSON-RPC methods. Its design is familiar to developers who have worked with Ethereum’s JSON-RPC APIs, making it intuitive and straightforward to use.
