Rate Limits
In order to protect our services from abuse we have rate limits on the number of requests that can be made. Currently, the rate limits are set as follows.
rpc.flashbots.net - Flashbots Protect RPC
| Method | Limit |
|---|---|
eth_sendRawTransaction | None |
eth_call | 200 / IP / 5 min |
eth_getTransactionReceipt | 200 / IP / 5 min |
eth_getTransactionByBlockNumberAndIndex | 200 / IP / 5 min |
eth_getBalance | 200 / IP / 5 min |
| All others | 600 / IP / 5 min |
Note that you are not required to read JSON RPC requests to send transactions to Flashbots Protect RPC.
Relay rate limits for advanced user bundles sent to relay.flashbots.net can be found here.
Rate limiting exceptions
If you are a wallet or application integrating with protect and you require a higher rate limit please reach out to Shea Ketsdever.
Batch request support
Flashbots Protect RPC is not supporting batch JSON-RPC requests.
