Kava public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Kava (chain ID 2222) endpoint listed on Chainlist and chainid.network, tested the same way on 2026-09-24: 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. 8 of 15 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://kava.drpc.org | 30 ms | 1 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://kava-evm-rpc.publicnode.com | 32 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | none |
| https://kava.api.pocket.network | 71 ms | 0 blocks | 1,000 | none |
| https://rpc.ankr.com/kava_evm | 89 ms | 1 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://evm.kava-rpc.com | 91 ms | 1 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://evm.kava.io | 102 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | recent only |
| https://kava-public.nodies.app | 108 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | none |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/kava (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 201 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | none |
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.
