Network information (EVM)
This page contains information for connecting to the public Etherlink networks via the EVM interface. For using the networks via the Michelson interface, see Michelson network information.
For current and historical status information for Etherlink, see https://status.etherlink.com.
For every network, we provide two public EVM endpoints: a full RPC endpoint and a
relay endpoint. The full RPC endpoint can be consumed by Etherlink EVM users and
decentralized applications to interact with the chain. The relay endpoint
exposes a restricted RPC API with only eth_sendRawTransaction and
eth_blockNumber available. Use the relay endpoint when setting up a
EVM node.
Public RPC Endpoint Restrictions
Our full RPC endpoint is rate-limited to 1000 requests per minute, and comes with additional limits for certain API methods.
You can set up your own node if you need an endpoint without a rate limit, or subscribe to a commercial RPC provider plan which offers higher limits.
