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.

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.
