Avalanche public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Avalanche (chain ID 43114) endpoint listed on Chainlist and chainid.network, tested the same way on 2026-11-08: does it answer on the right chain, how fast, how far behind the best head, how large an eth_getLogs range it accepts, whether it keeps archive state, and whether its WebSocket actually streams. 10 of 23 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://avalanche.rpc.sentio.xyz | 163 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://avalanche.drpc.org | 29 ms | 10 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://avax.api.pocket.network | 41 ms | 4 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |

Order: endpoints within 3 blocks of the best head first, then by median latency. Latency is measured from one server, so yours will differ by region; lag and limits do not.
