Supported Clients

Node software
  • celestia-app (consensus / validator)
  • celestia-node (bridge / full / light)
Data interfaces
  • Celestia Node JSON-RPC API
  • CometBFT RPC
  • Cosmos gRPC / REST

Keep your endpoint private behind IP allowlisting and firewall rules. The Node API uses auth tokens (read, write, admin), so we lock it down and split blob submission from read traffic, keeping writes from starving your reads.

// use cases

What Teams Build On Celestia Nodes

Where a private, uncapped endpoint beats a shared RPC pool.

Rollup Data Posting

When your rollup posts blobs without leaning on shared public capacity. Celestia is built to order blobs and keep them available, so dedicated infrastructure is a cleaner fit for sustained DA publishing.

Namespace-Scoped Reads

When your app needs only its own data, not the whole network's noise. Celestia's Namespaced Merkle Trees let apps fetch namespace-specific shares and verify completeness, ideal for private backends and selective retrieval.

Bridge-Backed App APIs

For teams serving internal services from bridge-aware infrastructure instead of thin public endpoints. Bridge nodes feed light nodes and depend on full historical block data, so dedicated backends keep data sourcing stable.

Blob Retrieval Pipelines

When your service reads posted blobs repeatedly for processing, proving, or downstream delivery. Light nodes post and retrieve blobs, and the Node API exposes blob and share methods for structured retrieval.

Indexing Data Feeds

For indexers, analytics jobs, and data pipelines that need steady reads over time. Celestia's Node API exposes headers, shares, namespaces, proofs, and state methods that suit ingestion and monitoring systems.

Explorer Backends

For explorers, observability tools, and dashboards that need dependable reads, namespace access, and steady availability. Dedicated infrastructure gives these services a more stable base than crowded public endpoints.

// how it works

From Celestia To Private Endpoint In 3 Steps

Pick a node, we provision dedicated bare metal, you get a private, snapshot-ready RPC URL.

  1. 01

    Pick Your Celestia Node

    Choose light, bridge, or consensus depending on whether you post and read blobs, serve DA history, or run validation. Tell us the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant celestia-node or celestia-app deploys on NVMe, snapshot-bootstrapped so you skip the long header sync and data-sampling backfill.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated Node JSON-RPC and CometBFT RPC endpoint with unlimited requests and zero rate limits, private behind IP allowlisting and DDoS protection.

// latency & locations

Put Your Node Where Milliseconds Are Won

RPC latency is mostly a function of distance. A dedicated node lets you choose the exact region, so you sit next to the traffic that matters instead of fighting for routing on a shared, far-away endpoint.

Place It Where Your Users Are

Deploy across 20+ Tier III locations in the US, EU, Asia, and Australia. Put your Celestia node in the region your traffic actually comes from, not wherever a shared pool happens to route you.

Cut The Round Trips

RPC latency is mostly physical distance. Running in the same region as your users and the Celestia network's peers shaves the round-trips a far-away, shared endpoint can never give back, which is what high-frequency reads and transaction submission live or die on.

Multi-Region By Design

Run a primary node plus regional read replicas for fast reads everywhere and built-in redundancy. Split public read endpoints from private admin, debug, and trace endpoints.

Need a node within a target latency budget of a specific region or venue? Tell us the endpoint and we'll recommend the closest facility.

// supported chains

One Backbone For Every Major Chain

Run validators, RPC, and archive nodes across the chains your stack depends on, all on the same dedicated bare metal, with the same isolation, speed, and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chain IDs, clients, archive data, getLogs limits, and why dedicated beats compute-unit billing.

What is a Dedicated Celestia RPC node?

A Dedicated Celestia RPC node is a single-tenant server running your Celestia node stack for private reads, blob workflows, indexing, and backend control. You get reserved CPU, RAM, storage, and network instead of sharing capacity with other users.

How is a Dedicated Celestia RPC node different from a shared RPC endpoint?

A shared endpoint pools many users on the same backend. A dedicated node gives you isolated hardware, private access rules, clearer recovery control, and more predictable capacity under load. That matters when your app cannot depend on pooled traffic behavior.

Do I need a light node, bridge node, or consensus node for my Celestia workload?

Use a light node for common app access and blob work. Use a bridge node for heavier DA-serving workloads. Add a consensus node when you want fuller control over block history and state. The right choice depends on what your app reads, writes, and stores.

Can I submit blobs and retrieve namespace data through a Dedicated Celestia RPC node?

Yes. Celestia supports blob submission, blob retrieval, and namespace-based data access through its node stack and Node API methods. A dedicated server gives you a private path for those workloads instead of routing them through shared public infrastructure.

Do bridge nodes require full historical block data?

Yes, if your bridge depends on your own consensus backend. Celestia's guidance keeps block retention in place for bridge-linked consensus setups. If you also need old state at past heights, plan for heavier archive-style storage.

Do light nodes prune old data by default?

Yes. Light nodes keep a limited sliding window by default, so older historical queries can fall below the tail and fail. If your product needs deeper history, a light-node-only setup may not be enough.

How is a Dedicated Celestia RPC node secured?

At RedSwitches, security starts with DDoS protection, private endpoint controls, and full server access for lockdown and recovery. On the Celestia side, Node API access uses tokens, so you should also control exposure with firewalls, proxies, and strict allowlists.

How long does it take to deploy a usable Celestia RPC server?

Provisioning can be fast, but usable time depends on sync. RedSwitches plans deployment around sync time, which is the honest metric. Light nodes can become useful sooner. Bridge and consensus-backed builds usually take longer, especially when retained history matters.

Do you charge per request or per compute unit?

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.

How is this different from a shared RPC endpoint?

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.

Do I have to sync the node myself, or wait days for it?

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.

Can I deploy close to a specific region or sequencer?

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.
