Story public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Story (chain ID 1514) 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. 10 of 20 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://story-json-rpc.stakely.io | 25 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/story (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 68 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | none |
| https://rpc.ankr.com/story_mainnet | 89 ms | 2 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://lb.routeme.sh/rpc/evm/1514 | 100 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | none |
| https://mainnet.datarpc.io | 19 ms | 8 blocks | 10,000+ | none |
| https://story-evm-rpc.krews.xyz | 22 ms | 5033488 blocks | 10,000+ | recent only |

| https://story-mainnet-evm.itrocket.net | 37 ms | 4 blocks | 10,000+ | recent only |

| https://evm-rpc.story.mainnet.dteam.tech | 152 ms | 2388269 blocks | 10,000+ | recent only |
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.
