Ink public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Ink (chain ID 57073) 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. 6 of 9 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://ink.drpc.org | 28 ms | 2 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://ink-rpc.publicnode.com | 36 ms | 0 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://ink.api.pocket.network | 37 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc-qnd.inkonchain.com | 19 ms | 5 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc-gel.inkonchain.com | 27 ms | 7 blocks | 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/ink (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 46 ms | 6 blocks | under 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.
