You can get a Sepolia L1 endpoint from a few places, but it must point to an archive node to access the state trie beyond the last 128 blocks.

Recommended: Run your own Sepolia archive node, see: Run a Sepolia node. This is recommended because you will eventually be rate-limited by public RPC providers.

Alternative: Alchemy(opens in a new tab) and Infura(opens in a new tab) are two popular RPC providers. Make sure you select the RPC as Sepolia testnet, and not Ethereum mainnet.
