Private Aleph Zero EVM RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

Aleph Zero EVM is an Ethereum-compatible environment on the Aleph Zero ecosystem: an Arbitrum Orbit rollup that lets you deploy and interact with standard EVM smart contracts. An RPC node is the server your app calls for on-chain data and transactions, serving JSON-RPC reads like balances, logs, receipts, gas estimates, and contract calls, plus transaction submission.

It is an Ethereum Layer 2. Aleph Zero EVM is an Arbitrum Orbit (Nitro, AnyTrust) rollup built with Gelato RaaS that settles to Ethereum, with the Aleph Zero L1 acting as its data availability layer. That gives it EVM compatibility and Ethereum security inheritance, alongside Aleph Zero's privacy focus and sub-second block times.

Developers reuse existing Ethereum tools, libraries, and contracts on Aleph Zero EVM, so migration is straightforward. You get fast, low-fee transactions and near-instant finality, with the option to build privacy-oriented applications on Aleph Zero's ZK stack. Standard wallets and SDKs connect over normal Ethereum JSON-RPC.

Aleph Zero EVM is an Arbitrum Orbit chain, so it runs the Arbitrum Nitro client. Because it is an AnyTrust rollup, full nodes rely on a data availability committee, and the Nitro node also needs an Ethereum parent-chain RPC endpoint to follow settlement. With full root access you install, configure, and update the stack on your own schedule.

Not in the staking sense on the EVM layer. Aleph Zero EVM is an Orbit rollup with a sequencer, so there is no permissionless, stake-to-earn validator at the EVM layer like there is on the Aleph Zero L1. What we provision is a fast, dedicated full or archive RPC node, which is what dApps, wallets, and indexers actually need.

A full node keeps current state and recent history and serves most RPC queries: balances, contract reads, receipts, and recent logs. An archive node retains full historical state at every block height, needed for eth_call at older blocks, historical balance lookups, and deep event-log scans. Archive needs more storage and RAM, so choose full for standard production and archive when you need history.

Shared RPC endpoints throttle, vary in latency, and change policies without warning. A dedicated Aleph Zero EVM node runs on single-tenant CPU, RAM, and NVMe, so your throughput and response times depend on your hardware headroom, not other tenants or shared compute-unit quotas. You also get full control of the client, version, and config.

Yes. Aleph Zero EVM has a testnet (chain ID 2039) for testing contracts before mainnet (chain ID 41455). We can provision a dedicated node against either network so you can validate your stack end to end before going live.

No. Unlike shared RPC providers that bill per "compute unit" and throttle you past a quota, a dedicated node is a flat monthly price with unlimited requests and zero overages. One node equals all the throughput your hardware can serve. That makes budgeting predictable and removes the surprise bills that come with usage-based RPC pricing.

Shared RPC pools serve thousands of customers from pooled infrastructure, so you inherit rate limits, noisy-neighbor latency, and compute-unit billing. A RedSwitches node runs on single-tenant bare metal that is yours alone: reserved CPU, RAM, and NVMe, a dedicated 10/25 Gbps port, and a private endpoint you control. Performance tracks your hardware, not another tenant's traffic.

No. We provision from current snapshots so your node is live in hours rather than syncing from genesis for days. You can run it yourself with full root access, or choose our fully managed option where our engineers handle the sync, updates, and monitoring. Either way you receive a working private endpoint, not an empty server.

Yes. With 20+ Tier III locations across the US, EU, Asia, and Australia you can place your node in the same region as your users or a chain's sequencer to cut round-trip latency. Tell us your target region and we will recommend the closest facility. You can also run multi-region nodes for redundancy and split read and write endpoints.
