  description: |
    Ankr's RPC Service (Node API) provides HTTPS and WebSocket JSON-RPC endpoints for
    80+ blockchain networks (EVM and non-EVM). The public endpoint is open;
    Premium and Enterprise plans use an API-key-scoped endpoint with x50 the rate
    limit of the public Node API. This specification documents the common
    EVM JSON-RPC envelope that ships behind every `https://rpc.ankr.com/{chain}` URL;
    non-EVM chains (Solana, Aptos, Stellar, etc.) expose their native JSON-RPC or REST
    surface at the same per-chain endpoint.
