Developer snippets

Static examples generated from reviewed Main.net fields. These snippets are for manual configuration review and read-only RPC checks; they do not connect wallets, create signers, submit writes, or rank providers.

viem chain definition

Read-only snippet generated from reviewed Main.net fields. Review official sources before production use.

import { defineChain } from 'viem'

export const ethereumClassicMainnet = defineChain({
  id: 61,
  name: "Ethereum Classic",
  nativeCurrency: {
    name: "ETC",
    symbol: "ETC",
    decimals: 18,
  },

wagmi read-only config

Read-only transport example generated from reviewed fields. It does not include account adapters or transaction actions.

import { createConfig, http } from 'wagmi'
import { ethereumClassicMainnet } from './ethereum-classic'

export const config = createConfig({
  chains: [ethereumClassicMainnet],
  transports: {
    [ethereumClassicMainnet.id]: http("https://etc.rivet.link"),
  },
})
ts

ethers read-only provider

Read-only JsonRpcProvider example generated from reviewed fields. It does not create a signer.

import { JsonRpcProvider } from 'ethers'

export const provider = new JsonRpcProvider("https://etc.rivet.link", {
  chainId: 61,
  name: "ethereum-classic",
})

const network = await provider.getNetwork()
console.log(network.chainId)
bash

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://etc.rivet.link

# Expected chain ID: 61 / 0x3d

Developer signals

External dashboards a developer may inspect before choosing where to deploy. Main.net links to these references but does not collect the metric values, normalize methodologies, rank chains, or recommend deployments.

Source links

Safety note

Ethereum Classic emphasizes running a local client for maximum trustlessness and treats public RPC endpoints as convenience infrastructure.

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