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-gel.inkonchain.com

# Expected chain ID: 57073 / 0xdef1

Safety note

Ink lists multiple RPC providers and endpoints. Verify the primary endpoint and provider fit before routing production traffic through a public endpoint.

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