# Requests & Limits

> API variables and rate limit information for Tetreum Testnet APIs.

Tetreum Testnet is a Geth-based PoA network. Rate limits may be updated over time to ensure RPC stability and fair usage.

## Public RPC Limits

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th></th><th width="136" align="right"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Access Type</strong></td><td align="right"><strong>Rate Limit</strong></td><td><strong>Description</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Public RPC (no API key)</td><td align="right">5 req/sec</td><td>Default limit for all public requests</td></tr><tr><td>Temporary protected access</td><td align="right">5 req/sec</td><td>May be used for frontend/session-based protection if enabled</td></tr><tr><td>Individual API key</td><td align="right">10 req/sec</td><td>Optional higher limit for registered users or partners</td></tr><tr><td>Whitelisted IP</td><td align="right">25 req/sec</td><td>Higher limit for approved server IPs</td></tr><tr><td>Static instance API key</td><td align="right">10 req/sec</td><td>Optional per-instance access key</td></tr><tr><td>Admin key</td><td align="right">Unlimited</td><td>Reserved for internal infrastructure and administration</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Default Policy

* Requests without an API key are limited by IP
* Public usage is intended for wallets, developers, and light integrations
* Heavy indexing, scraping, and bulk export usage should use dedicated infrastructure
* Repeated abuse may result in temporary blocking
