# Node providers

> Node providers for reliable RPC access, transaction submission, and data queries on Arc.

Connect to the Arc network through third-party RPC infrastructure partners
listed below. Each provider offers HTTP and WebSocket endpoints for submitting
transactions, querying blockchain data, and subscribing to events. You can also
use Arc's public endpoints directly.

| Connection type | Public endpoint                   |
| :-------------- | :-------------------------------- |
| HTTP RPC        | `https://rpc.testnet.arc.network` |
| WebSocket       | `wss://rpc.testnet.arc.network`   |
| Chain ID        | `5042002`                         |

  You can also [run your own node](/arc/concepts/running-a-node) for independent
  verification and direct RPC access without third-party dependencies.
