Filecoin public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Filecoin (chain ID 314) endpoint listed on Chainlist and chainid.network, tested the same way on 2026-10-11: 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. 6 of 11 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://filecoin.drpc.org | 26 ms | 1 blocks | under 1,000 | recent only |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/filecoin (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 51 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | recent only |
| https://api.node.glif.io | 98 ms | 1 blocks | under 1,000 | recent only |
| https://api.chain.love/rpc/v1 | 100 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | recent only |
| https://rpc.ankr.com/filecoin | 103 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | recent only |
| https://filfox.info/rpc/v1 | 367 ms | 0 blocks | 1,000 | 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.
