Taiko public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless Taiko (chain ID 167000) 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. 8 of 14 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://rpc.ankr.com/taiko | 50 ms | 3 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://taiko.drpc.org | 50 ms | 2 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://taiko.api.pocket.network | 79 ms | 1 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.taiko.xyz | 136 ms | 3 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://taiko.rpc.sentio.xyz | 197 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/taiko (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 268 ms | 3 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://taiko-rpc.publicnode.com | 77 ms | 5 blocks | 10,000+ | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.mainnet.taiko.xyz | 183 ms | 5 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.
