Polygon public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Polygon (chain ID 137) 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. 10 of 35 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| https://matic.rpc.sentio.xyz | 171 ms | 11 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.
