animica-chain

Query the Animica L1

Animica is a proof-of-work L1 (PoIES — Proof of Integrated Extended Sacrifice, with useful-work AI/quantum credits). Facts that matter for every query:

• Chain id: 1
• Addresses: bech32m, prefix anim1…
• Base unit: 1 ANM = 10^9 base units (nano-ANM). All API amounts are base units unless stated. Balance results are hex strings of base units.
• Signatures: ML-DSA-65 (FIPS 204), scheme id 0x1003 — the only current signature scheme.

JSON-RPC endpoint

POST https://rpc.animica.org/rpc (JSON-RPC 2.0).

Always use the /rpc path — the bare root https://rpc.animica.org returns a 301 that breaks naive POST clients.

Chain head

curl -s -X POST https://rpc.animica.org/rpc \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"chain.getHead","params":{}}'
# -> {"result":{"height":73191,"hash":"0x00000000013b4e…","chainId":1,"thetaMicro":26716830,…}}

There is no chain.getHeight method — use chain.getHead and read height.

Account balance

# Replace the address with the anim1… account you are querying
curl -s -X POST https://rpc.animica.org/rpc \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"state.getBalance","params":{"address":"anim1zqp6zhtjsvse38vlkekdh7d44k2rmvctvkc8n6m55dhh5n8x6rpqavgztza8r"}}'
# -> {"result":"0x2d6a2a96a4f8"}   (hex, base units; divide by 1e9 for ANM)

Transaction by hash

The parameter name is txHash (hash is rejected); a positional array also works.

curl -s -X POST https://rpc.animica.org/rpc \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tx.getTransaction","params":{"txHash":"0x4a35ffed4f8b747ad533b9a72303d9d7212ee2fb0daa00084171976c9a4ba0a7"}}'
# -> {"result":{"hash":"0x4a35…","gas":21000,"value":2000,"chainId":1,"blockHash":"0x…",…}}
