Pocket Network Public RPC Registry

A discoverable JSON registry of blockchain data sources available through the Pocket Network public gateway at https://api.pocket.network.

The registry file — supported-chains.json — is machine-readable and intended for use by tools, dashboards, and integrations that need to discover which chains are available and how to reach them.

Schema Validation

The registry is validated against supported-chains.schema.json (JSON Schema draft-07). Any editor or CI tool that supports JSON Schema will flag invalid entries automatically. The $schema pointer at the top of supported-chains.json enables this out of the box in VS Code and other editors.

Adding a New Chain

To add a new data source, open a pull request that adds an entry to the chains array in supported-chains.json. Each entry requires the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
name	string	Human-readable chain name (e.g. "Ethereum", "Arbitrum Sepolia").
slug	string	URL-safe identifier used in the RPC endpoint path. Must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens, matching ^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]*$ (e.g. "eth", "arb-sepolia-testnet").
protocol	string	Protocol family that determines which RPC methods apply. One of: evm, cosmos, solana, sui, near, tron, radix.
url	string	Full RPC endpoint URL, following the pattern https://<slug>.api.pocket.network.
network	string	Either "mainnet" or "testnet".

Optional Fields

Field	Type	Description
evm_compatible	boolean	Set to true if the chain accepts standard eth_* JSON-RPC methods via an EVM compatibility layer despite having a non-EVM native protocol.
status	string	Operational status: "active" (default), "inactive" (no active suppliers), or "degraded" (probes failing but may recover).
notes	string	Free-text notes about configuration quirks, status context, or other details.

PR Checklist

1. Add your entry to the chains array in alphabetical order by name.
2. Ensure url matches the pattern https://<slug>.api.pocket.network.
3. Validate the file against the schema (open it in VS Code or run any JSON Schema validator).
4. Update the updated_at date to the current date.
