Archive RPC

Historical Solana RPC with epoch-level coverage. Query any transaction, block, or address signature history from the archive, with all other methods proxied to a live validator.

Endpoint

archive.vali.wtf

Rate Limits

Limit	Value
Requests per second	100 per IP
Burst	100

Coverage

Epochs 809–943+, updated daily as new epochs are published on the old-faithful CDN (typically 1–2 epochs behind current). For the latest 1–2 epochs, requests are proxied to the live validator automatically.

Supported Methods

Historical (served from archive)

Method	Description
`getTransaction`	Fetch any historical transaction by signature
`getBlock`	Fetch full block data by slot number
`getSignaturesForAddress`	Get transaction signatures for any account (GSFA-indexed)
`getSlot`	Get the latest available slot
`getBlockTime`	Get the timestamp for a given slot

Proxied to live validator

All standard Solana JSON-RPC methods (getAccountInfo, getBalance, getHealth, etc.) are proxied to a live validator for recent/non-historical data.

Example Calls

Get a transaction:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getTransaction","params":["<SIGNATURE>",{"encoding":"json","maxSupportedTransactionVersion":0}]}' \
  https://archive.vali.wtf/

Get signatures for an address:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getSignaturesForAddress","params":["<ADDRESS>",{"limit":10}]}' \
  https://archive.vali.wtf/

Get a block:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getBlock","params":[<SLOT>,{"encoding":"json","maxSupportedTransactionVersion":0,"transactionDetails":"full"}]}' \
  https://archive.vali.wtf/

Health check:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getHealth"}' \
  https://archive.vali.wtf/

Notes

Archive epochs update automatically as they become available on the old-faithful CDN
For the latest 1–2 epochs, requests are automatically proxied to the live validator
GSFA indexes are stored locally for fast getSignaturesForAddress lookups
All responses follow the standard Solana JSON-RPC format
