Stop Fighting For Bandwidth On Shared Fantom RPC

Shared Fantom RPC pools throttle you, bill you per compute unit, and seat you next to noisy neighbors. A dedicated Fantom node is your own private backbone: flat-priced, uncapped, and yours alone.

What Teams Build On Fantom Nodes

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

DeFi Execution Engines

Run trading bots, liquidation logic, and routing on your own Fantom node so traffic spikes do not ruin fills. Dedicated capacity keeps reads steady when seconds decide outcomes.

Indexer Backfill Runs

Scan blocks, logs, and contract events for hours without random slowdowns. Your dedicated Fantom node supports deep backfills and continuous ingestion that public RPC limits would throttle.

Explorer Search APIs

Power explorer pages and search endpoints that serve constant read traffic. Run history-heavy queries for older transactions and logs without choking the API during launches, airdrops, and surges.

Wallet Backend Reads

Serve balances, nonces, token holdings, and transaction status from a private backend you control. A dedicated Fantom node keeps wallet responses consistent across many users and tolerates no request drops.

Opera Sonic Cutover

Test migration readiness without touching production on Opera. Run a parallel environment to compare method behavior, validate indexing, and check latency before you switch endpoints, with less risk and downtime.

Historical Audit Queries

Run long-range investigations for finance, security reviews, and incident response. Replay past activity, verify contract behavior, and produce repeatable reports on demand without getting throttled.

// how it works

From Fantom 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 Fantom Node

    Choose full, archive, or validator. Reads serve over JSON-RPC and WebSocket; tell us the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant go-opera node deploys on NVMe and snapshot-syncs, so you skip the long cold sync from genesis.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated JSON-RPC and WebSocket 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 Fantom 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 Fantom 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 Fantom RPC Node Server, and who needs it?

A Dedicated Fantom RPC Node Server is a single-tenant server that runs your Fantom node and serves your application's RPC requests. You need it if you ship a wallet, dApp, indexer, bot, explorer, or any product where timeouts and throttling cost users. You also need it if you want predictable performance during traffic spikes, not best-effort capacity.

Why choose a dedicated Fantom RPC provider instead of shared or public RPC endpoints?

Shared public endpoints throttle, rate-limit, and degrade under load. You do not control who else is hitting the pool. A Fantom RPC provider on dedicated infrastructure gives you predictable capacity, consistent latency, and clear control over exposure rules. Your team also gets a stable baseline for debugging, incident response, and performance tuning.

Do you support both Fantom Opera and Sonic, and can I run them in parallel?

Yes. Fantom is transitioning from Opera to Sonic, and many teams want both during the changeover. We support Fantom Opera and Sonic deployments, including parallel environments for testing and cutover. That lets you validate method behavior, indexing, and latency before you switch production endpoints.

Should I use a pruned node or an archive node for my workload?

Use a pruned node when you mainly need current-state reads and standard RPC calls for apps and wallets. Use a full-history node when you need deep history scans, logs, and analytics, older state access, or heavy research queries and backfills. If you are unsure, tell us your method mix and query patterns, and we will map you to the right Fantom node profile.

What RPC access do I get: HTTP, WebSocket, and separate read or write endpoints?

You can run HTTP RPC and WebSocket access based on your workload. Many teams split endpoints by role: one for user reads, one for transaction submission, and one for WebSocket streams. This design reduces cross-impact between workloads and keeps your Fantom RPC node stable during bursts.

Can you apply rate limits, IP allowlists, and method controls for public RPC?

Yes. Managed setups can include rate limiting, IP allowlists, request size controls, and method-level restrictions for public exposure. This protects you from bots and expensive calls that cause slowdowns. If you choose unmanaged, you still have full root access to apply the same policies with your preferred stack.

How do I migrate my app from Opera RPC to Sonic RPC without downtime?

Run both endpoints in parallel, then shift traffic gradually. Start with internal services and staging first, then move a small percentage of production traffic, then complete the cutover once metrics look clean. Many teams keep Opera available as a fallback during the early window. This approach reduces user impact while your Fantom nodes transition across networks.

Do you offer fully managed and unmanaged Fantom node hosting?

Yes. We offer both. Fully managed fits teams that want help with setup, basic hardening, monitoring direction, and operational support. Unmanaged fits teams that want full freedom and run their own runbooks. In both cases, you still run on single-tenant dedicated servers built for production node workloads.

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.
