Network information
For current and historical status information for Etherlink, see https://status.etherlink.com.
For using the networks via the Michelson interface, see Michelson network information.
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.
