Merlin Chain public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Merlin Chain (chain ID 4200) endpoint listed on Chainlist and chainid.network, tested the same way on 2026-10-04: 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. 3 of 8 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://merlin.drpc.org | 21 ms | 2 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.merlinchain.io | 176 ms | 0 blocks | 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/merlin (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 203 ms | 1 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.
