Moonbeam RPC status and chain ID answer

Moonbeam mainnet uses chain ID 1284 / 0x504, RPC URL https://rpc.api.moonbeam.network, explorer https://moonscan.io, and GLMR 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: 1284 / 0x504
RPC URL: https://rpc.api.moonbeam.network
Explorer: https://moonscan.io
Gas token: GLMR

Copy Moonbeam config Open source docs Explorer directory Gas token directory

Good fit when you need:

the Moonbeam 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.

Methodology Report a correction

Moonbeam 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.

ethers read-only provider

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

import { JsonRpcProvider } from 'ethers'

export const provider = new JsonRpcProvider("https://rpc.api.moonbeam.network", {

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://rpc.api.moonbeam.network

# Expected chain ID: 1284 / 0x504

Developer signals

Moonbeam publishes public endpoint rate limits. For production systems, compare limits and provider requirements before choosing an RPC endpoint.
