RPC independence based on chainlist RPC list for review

[remedcu]

Currently, the chain ID and the RPC link are provided by the person who creates the PR with the contracts being added.

As an added security, we could retrieve the RPC list from the ethereum-lists/chains repo and use that in the script.

Expected Outcome

• Retrieve the RPC list from the ethereum-lists/chains repo: https://github.com/ethereum-lists/chains/tree/master/_data/chains (thanks @mmv08)

Alternatives

• Retrieve the RPC list from the ChainList GitHub repo: https://github.com/DefiLlama/chainlist/blob/main/constants/extraRpcs.js#L166
• Do nothing

Possible Issue: If we parse based on the website structure, then changes in the website might break the script.

Why do you need the website? They website uses the JSON files hosted on github: https://github.com/ethereum-lists/chains/tree/master/_data/chains

Yes, we could use the official Chainlist repo as well, which is mentioned in the Alternatives section of the issue.

The repo in the alternatives is the defillama chainlist, but we follow the one I linked

But we did require that the chain should be listed on https://chainlist.org/ right? Or am I mistaken?

It uses the chainlist from the ethereum-lists repo: https://github.com/DefiLlama/chainlist/blob/main/utils/fetch.js#L99
