Overview
c8ntinuum exposes an Ethereum-compatible JSON-RPC endpoint athttps://public-evm-rpc.c8ntinuum.com.
The default public EVM namespace allowlist is eth,net,web3. Archive or private node profiles may enable additional namespaces such as debug or txpool, but applications should not assume those namespaces are available on the default public endpoint.
Supported Namespaces
| Namespace | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
eth | Enabled by default | Core Ethereum methods: accounts, blocks, transactions, and logs |
web3 | Enabled by default | Client version and utilities |
net | Enabled by default | Network information |
txpool | Configuration-dependent | Disabled in the default template; present only on node profiles that include txpool |
debug | Full archive only | Intended for the full archive debug surface, not the default public RPC |
personal | Not for public RPC | Appears only in the full archive example and should not be exposed on default public RPC |
trace | Not configured | No separate trace namespace is configured in the reviewed source set |
Commonly Used Methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
eth_chainId | Returns 0x888 (2184) |
eth_blockNumber | Latest block number |
eth_getBalance | Account balance |
eth_getTransactionCount | Account nonce |
eth_sendRawTransaction | Submit a signed transaction |
eth_call | Execute a call without creating a transaction |
eth_estimateGas | Estimate gas for a transaction |
eth_getTransactionReceipt | Get transaction receipt |

eth_maxPriorityFeePerGas | Current priority fee suggestion |
Method availability matrix
| Method family | Default public RPC | Private/archive node profile | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
eth_* core reads and writes | Supported | Supported | Includes blocks, balances, calls, gas estimation, receipts, logs, and raw transaction broadcast. |
net_* | Supported | Supported | Network metadata helpers. |
web3_* | Supported | Supported | Client utility methods. |
eth_subscribe / eth_unsubscribe | Supported over WebSocket | Supported when WebSocket is enabled | Free public WebSocket connections have stricter concurrency limits. |
txpool_* | Not enabled by default | Configuration-dependent | Do not require txpool methods for production application flows. |
debug_* | Not enabled by default | Full archive/debug profile only | Use only on trusted private infrastructure. |
personal_* | Not for public RPC | Configuration-dependent | Do not expose personal APIs on public RPC endpoints. |
trace_* | Not configured in reviewed source set | Not configured unless explicitly added | Use debug APIs or an indexer where available. |
Endpoint Configuration
c8ntinuum exposes mainnet endpoints across two TLDs by tier —
c8ntinuum.com for the default public free RPCs, and c8ntinuum.io for alternate public and paid RPCs. Testnet endpoints live on c8ntinuum.link. For the canonical free / alternate / paid matrix and rate limits, see RPC Providers.| Network | Surface | Endpoint |

Request policy
EVM JSON-RPC HTTP acceptsPOST / with Content-Type: application/json. OPTIONS is allowed for preflight compatibility. GET /, non-JSON POST /, and unsupported paths are rejected by the RPC proxy.
| Setting | Value |

eth_getLogs result cap | 10000 logs |
| Node batch request limit | 2000 |
| Node batch response max size | 50000000 bytes |
| nginx EVM HTTP request body limit | 2m |
