Private Cronos RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

A Cronos RPC node is a server running cronosd that exposes the APIs your app uses to read blockchain data and broadcast transactions. Because Cronos is built on the Cosmos SDK with an Ethermint EVM, one node serves standard Ethereum JSON-RPC for dApps, wallets, and indexers, plus the native CometBFT and Cosmos REST interfaces.

Yes. Cronos EVM Mainnet uses chain ID 25 (0x19), and the testnet uses 338. Cronos runs an Ethermint-style EVM, so standard Ethereum tooling such as ethers, web3, Hardhat, and MetaMask work against the JSON-RPC endpoint with no changes.

All three. A cronosd node serves Ethereum JSON-RPC (the eth_*, net_*, web3_*, debug_*, and txpool_* namespaces), the native CometBFT RPC, and the Cosmos SDK REST and gRPC interfaces. On a dedicated node you choose which to expose and keep the rest private.

Choose a standard full node when you mainly need the latest state, receipts, and recent logs. Choose an archive node when you need deep historical EVM and Cosmos state for analytics, explorers, audits, or long-range backfills. A dedicated setup lets you pick the right tier without sharing limits.

Cronos uses CometBFT (Tendermint) BFT consensus with single-block finality and a permissioned validator set. We can provision a dedicated validator node where you hold the keys and we run the metal, with full root, KVM, and IPMI access for fast recovery.

Shared RPC endpoints throttle, vary in latency, and change policies without warning. A dedicated Cronos 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.

Most failures trace back to storage I/O saturation, CPU contention, or too many concurrent WebSocket sessions. Dedicated hardware removes noisy-neighbor contention, and local NVMe reduces read and write stalls. That is why teams move to a dedicated Cronos RPC node when usage becomes production-grade.

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.
