Source snapshotJuly 4, 2026

Source evidence snapshot July 4, 2026. World Chain mainnet uses chain ID 480 / 0x1e0, public RPC URL https://worldchain-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/public, Worldscan explorer, and ETH as the gas token. Verify World Chain docs, public RPC status, and endpoint availability before use.

Quick settings

World Chain chain ID answer

Use chain ID 480 / 0x1e0 for World Chain mainnet, with public RPC URL https://worldchain-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/public, Worldscan explorer, and ETH as the gas token. Copy the fields below, then confirm the linked docs and current RPC status.

Chain ID: 480 / 0x1e0
RPC URL: https://worldchain-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/public
Explorer: https://worldscan.org
Gas token: ETH
Source docs: World docs
Latest check: Jul 20, 2026
Source snapshot: July 4, 2026
Config path: wallet_addEthereumChain JSON

Availability check:World Chain links a public RPC status page. Use it with the source docs and Main.net probe evidence; Main.net does not operate the Alchemy public endpoint or guarantee uptime.

Copy World Chain config Open World Chain guide Explorer directory Gas token directory

Good fit when you need:

the World Chain 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.

World Chain 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://worldchain-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/public

# Expected chain ID: 480 / 0x1e0

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

World Chain lists a shared public RPC endpoint. Treat it as a convenience reference, check the linked status/source pages, and verify provider terms before production use.

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