## Endpoint URL Patterns

### EVM Chains

```
HTTPS: https://{chain-identifier}-{network}.nodereal.io/v1/{API-key}
WSS:   wss://{chain-identifier}-{network}.nodereal.io/ws/v1/{API-key}
```

### Common Chain Identifiers

| Chain | Identifier | Mainnet URL Example |
|-------|-----------|-------------------|
| BNB Smart Chain | `bsc` | `https://bsc-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| BNB Smart Chain Testnet | `bsc` | `https://bsc-testnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| Ethereum | `eth` | `https://eth-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| Ethereum Sepolia | `eth` | `https://eth-sepolia.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| Optimism | `opt` | `https://opt-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| opBNB | `opbnb` | `https://opbnb-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| opBNB Testnet | `opbnb` | `https://opbnb-testnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| Arbitrum One | `arb` | `https://arb-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| Polygon | `polygon` | `https://polygon-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |
| BASE | `base` | `https://base-mainnet.nodereal.io/v1/{key}` |

## Feature Availability by Chain

### Full Feature Support (RPC + Enhanced APIs + Archive + WebSocket)

- **BNB Smart Chain** — Flagship chain with all features
- **Ethereum** — Full support including Enhanced APIs

### Standard RPC + Archive

- **Optimism** — RPC + Archive, partial Enhanced APIs
- **Polygon** — RPC + Archive

### Standard RPC Only

- Arbitrum One/Nova, Avalanche C-Chain, Fantom, Klaytn, Cronos, Gnosis, Moonbeam, PlatON, zkSync, BASE

### Non-EVM Chains

- **Aptos** — REST API (not JSON-RPC)
- **NEAR** — JSON-RPC with NEAR-specific methods

---

## MegaFuel Support (Gasless Transactions)

| Chain | Mainnet | Testnet |
|-------|---------|---------|
| BNB Smart Chain | Yes | Yes |
| opBNB | Yes | Yes |

## Direct Route Support (MEV Protection)

| Chain | Support |
|-------|---------|
| BNB Smart Chain | Yes |

---

## Notes

- BNB Beacon Chain is **NOT** supported
- Testnet archive nodes are **NOT** available
- Enhanced APIs are primarily available on BSC and Ethereum
- WebSocket (WSS) is available on BSC, Ethereum, and Optimism
- API key works across all supported chains — no per-chain configuration needed
- Check [NodeReal documentation](https://docs.nodereal.io) for the latest chain additions
