Stored data, visible sources
Network information is compiled from official blockchain documentation and third-party providers. Official sources take priority for network URLs; ChainList supports EVM configuration; DefiLlama and CoinGecko can enrich ecosystem and market fields.
Important safety note
RPC availability, exchange listings and application rankings can change. Crypto University does not operate or guarantee third-party endpoints. Always verify critical settings with the network’s official documentation.

What is a blockchain network?
A blockchain network is a shared system of computers that validates and records transactions under a common protocol.
What is a blockchain chain ID?
A chain ID identifies an EVM-compatible network and helps wallets prevent transactions from being replayed on another network.
What is an RPC endpoint?
An RPC endpoint is a network address that applications and wallets use to read blockchain data and submit transactions.
How do I add a blockchain to MetaMask?
On supported EVM pages, select Add to wallet and review the verified network configuration in your injected wallet before approving it.
Are public RPC endpoints safe?
Public RPC availability, logging and privacy policies can change. Avoid sharing secrets and verify critical settings in official documentation.
What is the difference between a mainnet and a testnet?
A mainnet carries production activity and assets. A testnet is intended for testing and normally uses tokens without real value.
Why are some networks not listed?
We exclude abandoned, duplicate, local and insufficiently documented networks until their status and useful configuration can be verified.
How are top exchanges selected?
Markets are grouped by exchange and ranked using active spot liquidity, reported volume and available trust data. We show fewer entries when reliable data is unavailable.
How are top apps ranked?
Apps are ordered by verified chain association, chain-specific TVL or usage where available, editorial status and then alphabetically.
How often is the information updated?
Automated source data is designed for daily or twice-daily refreshes, while official manual records are periodically reviewed. Each page shows its verification date.
