Frequently Asked Questions

How to connect to the Bitcoin gateway?

Connect to Tatum's Bitcoin RPC Gateway using the endpoint format: bitcoin-mainnet.gateway.tatum.io, bitcoin-testnet.gateway.tatum.io, bitcoin-signet.gateway.tatum.io, or bitcoin-testnet4.gateway.tatum.io.

Tatum's RPC Gateway provides discovery endpoints to help you explore available functionality:

  • /llms.txt: Access AI context and documentation for the network
  • /_methods: Discover all supported interfaces and RPC methods for the network


How are the RPC calls priced?

Credits are consumed based on the complexity and resource requirements of each RPC method:

  • 2 credits are consumed for Standard RPC methods (most common operations)
  • 5 credits are consumed for the eth_call method
  • 50 credits are consumed for Debug and Trace methods

How do you authenticate your API key?

When using the Tatum REST API or SDK, you need to authenticate yourself with an API key. Access Tatum services by authenticating with your API key using one of the following methods:

  • X-API-Key in header (Recommended): Pass your API key in the x-api-key header
  • Authorization Header (Bearer): Use authorization: bearer {YOUR_API_KEY}
  • Authorization Header (Basic): Use HTTP Basic Authentication

For detailed authentication instructions and best practices, see the Authentication & Security documentation.

Get your API key by signing up at the Tatum Dashboard. Each free account includes two API keys – one for Mainnet and one for Testnet.
