World Chain public RPC endpoints, tested
Every keyless World Chain (chain ID 480) 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. 3 of 6 HTTP endpoints were working.
Working HTTP endpoints
| Endpoint | Latency | Behind best | eth_getLogs | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://worldchain.drpc.org | 30 ms | 0 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://rpc.swiftnodes.io/rpc/worldchain (SwiftNodes, keyless: 2 req/s) | 43 ms | 3 blocks | under 1,000 | archive (1M+) |
| https://sparkling-autumn-dinghy.worldchain-mainnet.quiknode.pro | 92 ms | 0 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.
