Taiko chain ID 167000 and mainnet RPC URL

Source snapshotJuly 4, 2026

Taiko RPC status and chain ID answer

Taiko mainnet uses chain ID 167000 / 0x28c58, RPC URL https://rpc.mainnet.taiko.xyz, explorer https://taikoscan.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: 167000 / 0x28c58
RPC URL: https://rpc.mainnet.taiko.xyz
Explorer: https://taikoscan.io
Gas token: ETH
Source docs: Taiko RPC listing
Latest check: Jul 20, 2026
Source snapshot: July 4, 2026
Config path: wallet_addEthereumChain JSON

Copy Taiko config Open source docs Explorer directory Gas token directory

Good fit when you need:

the Taiko 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.

Taiko 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.mainnet.taiko.xyz

# Expected chain ID: 167000 / 0x28c58
