## RPC methods (https://rpc.testnet.16ane.net)

Archive node: state and traces are available for every block since genesis. CORS allows any origin.

- Namespaces: eth, net, web3, debug, trace, ots (Otterscan API level 8), txpool
- Tracing: debug_traceTransaction / debug_traceBlockByNumber (callTracer etc.), trace_block,
  trace_transaction, trace_filter (max 100 blocks), ots_traceTransaction, ots_getInternalOperations
- Not implemented by Reth: ots_searchTransactionsBefore, ots_searchTransactionsAfter
  (no per-address history over RPC; use trace_filter on short ranges)
- Limits: 4 concurrent traces, 30,000,000 gas cap for eth_call / estimateGas / call traces,
  10,000 logs per response, 10,000 blocks per filter, 50 MB per response
- No admin namespace; no WebSocket yet

## Faucet limits

- Anonymous: 1 ANE per address per 24 h after a proof of work (GET /v1/challenge, difficulty 20)
- API key: 10 ANE per call, 100 calls per day (Authorization: Bearer <key>)
- Live values: GET https://rpc.testnet.16ane.net/faucet/v1/info

## Mainnet (not live)

- Chain ID: 16463
- rpc.16ane.net is a launch-pending placeholder only

## Quick checks

```sh
curl -sS https://rpc.testnet.16ane.net -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'
curl -sS https://rpc.testnet.16ane.net/faucet/v1/info
```
