Blast chain ID 81457 and mainnet RPC URL

Source evidence snapshot July 4, 2026. Blast is an Ethereum L2. Blast documentation lists mainnet RPC endpoint, chain ID 81457, ETH as currency symbol, and Blastscan.

Quick settings

Blast RPC status and chain ID answer

Blast mainnet uses chain ID 81457 / 0x13e31, RPC URL https://rpc.blast.io, explorer https://blastscan.io, and ETH 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.

Chain ID: 81457 / 0x13e31
RPC URL: https://rpc.blast.io
Explorer: https://blastscan.io
Gas token: ETH
Source docs: Blast docs

Copy Blast config Open source docs Explorer directory Gas token directory

Good fit when you need:

the Blast 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.

Verification record

Automated source snapshots and recorded probe evidence are tracked separately. The source snapshot timestamp is not a manual review date. This is not a live uptime, latency, or production reliability monitor. If a recorded public RPC probe fails, verify the source links and current endpoint availability before changing production configuration.

Blast 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.

Monitoring evidence

These checks are review signals only. They are not uptime, latency, privacy, or production reliability claims. A source fetch failure or eth_chainId failure can mean a source page or public RPC endpoint was unavailable, changed, or rate-limited during a check. Re-open source links and test current RPC availability before relying on a public endpoint.

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.blast.io

# Expected chain ID: 81457 / 0x13e31
