c8ntinuum publishes a public EVM WebSocket endpoint at:
wss://public-evm-rpc.c8ntinuum.com/websocket
The documented mainnet alternate is wss://public-evm-rpc.c8ntinuum.io/websocket, and the testnet endpoint is wss://public-testnet-evm.c8ntinuum.link/websocket. Applications can use WebSocket connections for subscription-style workflows, while operators running their own infrastructure should plan for connection limits, reconnection behavior, and monitoring.

Application guidance

NeedSuggested approach
New block notificationsUse WebSocket subscriptions where supported by your client library.
Contract eventsSubscribe for live events and backfill with bounded eth_getLogs queries.
Long historical scansPrefer an indexer over an unbounded RPC or WebSocket workload.

Operator checklist

  • Define public versus private WebSocket exposure.
  • Monitor active connections and reconnect storms.
  • Apply the documented connection limits: free WebSockets allow 1 connection per IP, while paid WebSockets allow 30 connections per API key.
  • Keep historical backfills on HTTP RPC or indexer infrastructure instead of long-lived subscription paths.
