Node providers
Public RPC
The public RPC nodes at node.mainnet.etherlink.com and node.ghostnet.etherlink.com are intended for use within user wallets such as MetaMask, and for dApps wanting to test out API access to Etherlink within the rate limits listed below.
For higher limits you must run your own node or subscribe to an API plan offered by a commercial RPC node provider.
Current restrictions
| Item | Restriction |
|---|---|
| Request rate limits | 1000 requests per minute |
eth_getLogs | Block range: max 500 blocks Max number of logs returned: 5,000 |
These restrictions are kept under frequent review and may be updated without notice.
