Metis RPC Endpoint and API
Metis is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution that combines a rollup architecture with a decentralized sequencer to deliver fast, low-cost transactions while maintaining Ethereum-level security. The Metis Andromeda mainnet (Chain ID 1088) supports EVM-compatible smart contracts, making it a popular choice for DeFi, NFTs, and gaming dApps.

Build faster with Metis RPC endpoints
Use OnFinality's Metis RPC APIs to connect wallets, dApps, dashboards, bots, and backend services without operating your own node from day one.
Public endpoint testing
Start with the Metis public RPC endpoint for lightweight checks, prototypes, and quick integration tests.
Authenticated API access
Move production traffic to authenticated endpoints when you need clearer limits, analytics, and operational visibility.
Standard RPC methods
Query Metis blocks, transactions, balances, events, and chain state through HTTP and WebSocket workflows.
Operate Metis infrastructure with more control
Production teams need more than an endpoint URL. They need observability, predictable capacity, and a path from shared RPC access to isolated infrastructure.
Request visibility
Track usage patterns and response activity so your team can understand traffic growth before it becomes an incident.
Dedicated node path
Use dedicated Metis nodes when your workload needs isolated resources, custom operations, or stronger capacity planning.
Archive and historical data
Plan for archive access when analytics, audits, indexers, or advanced app features need older Metis state.
Choose the right Metis RPC setup
Different Metis products need different infrastructure. OnFinality gives teams a practical path from public RPC testing to production-grade API and node operations.
For prototypes
Use public RPC for simple reads, connection checks, and early experiments where strict performance guarantees are not required.
For live apps
Use authenticated API endpoints when users depend on stable request handling, monitoring, and scalable access.
For heavy workloads
Use dedicated nodes for sustained traffic, latency-sensitive services, validator tooling, exchange systems, and indexing pipelines.
Never Worry about Infrastructure Again
OnFinality takes away the heavy lifting of DevOps so you can build smarter and faster.
