# Chain Info

This section provides essential technical details regarding Onyx’s publicly available **Remote Procedure Call (RPC)** endpoints, allowing developers to interact with the Onyx blockchain network. These RPC endpoints facilitate smart contract deployments, transaction broadcasting, data querying, and state synchronization with the Onyx blockchain. Developers and infrastructure providers can integrate these endpoints into their applications, wallets, or blockchain indexing services to ensure seamless interaction with the Onyx network.

## Public RPC Endpoints

Onyx provides both **HTTPS** and **WebSocket (WSS)** RPC endpoints, enabling developers to connect to the network for executing transactions and retrieving blockchain state data. The WebSocket endpoint is particularly useful for applications requiring real-time event subscriptions, such as monitoring contract events or transaction confirmations. The available endpoints are:

| Type          | Url                    | Notes                                       |
| ------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| HTTPS RPC     | <https://rpc.onyx.org> | Standard RPC for JSON-RPC API requests      |
| WebSocket RPC | wss\://rpc.onyx.org    | Enables real-time event-driven interactions |

## Additional Network Resources

To enhance blockchain interaction and facilitate development on Onyx, the following key resources are available:
