Moonbeam chain ID 1284 and mainnet RPC URL

Reviewed

Checked June 26, 2026. Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible parachain. Moonbeam documentation lists chain ID 1284, GLMR, public HTTPS endpoints with limits, and Moonscan.

Moonbeam RPC status and chain ID answer

Moonbeam mainnet uses chain ID 1284 / 0x504, RPC URL https://rpc.api.moonbeam.network, explorer https://moonscan.io, and GLMR as the gas token. Use the latest source check and linked docs to verify the fields before adding the network to a wallet, script, or app.

Good fit when you need:
  • the Moonbeam chain ID, RPC URL, explorer, and gas token in one place;
  • source documentation links beside the copied setup fields;
  • manual wallet config fields without connecting a wallet or choosing an RPC provider.
Before you paste these fields:
  • compare the chain ID against the source link on this page;
  • open the explorer once and confirm it matches the network you expect;
  • use the public RPC for setup checks, then choose monitored infrastructure for production traffic.

MethodologyReport a correction

Moonbeam wallet-add fields

Wallet directory sites often expose a connect button. Main.net keeps the same MetaMask and EIP-3085 setup fields as text so developers can compare them with official/source docs before calling wallet_addEthereumChain.

curl eth_chainId check

Minimal JSON-RPC identity check. This verifies the endpoint-reported chain ID only, not uptime or production suitability.

curl -s -X POST \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_chainId","params":[]}' \
  https://rpc.api.moonbeam.network

# Expected chain ID: 1284 / 0x504

Safety note

Moonbeam publishes public endpoint rate limits. For production systems, compare limits and provider requirements before choosing an RPC endpoint.

Main.net is an independent reference site. It does not operate this chain, custody assets, execute transactions, or provide investment advice.
