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":[]}' \

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.

Main.net links to external developer-signal dashboards but does not collect, normalize, rank, or republish their metric values in this version.
External metrics can use different methodologies and update schedules. Check the linked provider documentation before comparing chains.

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.
