Private Flare RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

A Dedicated Flare Network RPC Node is a Flare RPC endpoint that runs on single-tenant infrastructure reserved for your workload. Your reads, writes, subscriptions, and backfills are not competing with unrelated tenants on a shared pool. At RedSwitches, that means dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage, plus direct infrastructure access when you need to inspect, tune, or recover the node.

Use public Flare RPC for early testing and simple development. Move to dedicated Flare RPC when your product depends on stable reads, cleaner WebSocket behavior, and more predictable production support. Flare's own docs make that distinction clearly: public RPC is convenient for getting started, but for production applications Flare strongly recommends a dedicated RPC endpoint, because public RPC comes with shared resources and rate limits.

Yes. We support HTTP(S) for standard JSON-RPC calls and WebSocket access for subscriptions, live events, and real-time backend workflows, based on the node client and configuration you choose. That matters for dashboards, bots, wallets, event listeners, and notification systems that need more than one-off request and response traffic. Dedicated capacity also helps keep subscription behavior steadier when request volume climbs.

Yes. We can scope a Flare setup around the role you actually need. Full nodes fit most production reads and transaction broadcasting. Pruned builds reduce storage overhead. Archive-oriented builds fit deeper historical queries, heavier logs, and research-grade access. We do not push every buyer into archive by default. The right node type depends on query depth, retention needs, concurrency, and whether analytics or user traffic will hit the same endpoint.

For lighter private RPC, we usually start around 8 high-clock cores, 32 GB RAM, and NVMe storage. For production wallets, dApps, and indexers, we usually scope higher, often 12 to 16 cores, 64 GB RAM, and more NVMe headroom. Archive-style workloads need much more storage and often more memory. We size around your workload: query mix, WebSocket load, log scans, historical reads, and expected burst traffic matter more than a generic "high performance" label.

Yes, if it is sized correctly from the start. Dedicated infrastructure gives you known server resources, so your traffic is not fighting a shared RPC pool during launches, market spikes, or heavier event activity. From our side, we usually look at peak concurrency, log-heavy methods, subscription count, cache pressure, and sync behavior before we recommend a build. That gives you a better shot at steady production behavior than sizing only for average traffic.

The core model is simple. Keep the endpoint private unless you need public exposure, then tighten access with firewall rules, IP allowlisting, edge controls, and DDoS protection. That is one of the biggest practical gains with dedicated RPC. You control how visible the endpoint is, who can reach it, and how aggressively you want to filter traffic before it ever touches the node.

You get the kind of access serious infrastructure teams usually ask for: KVM, root, and IPMI access on dedicated server plans. That gives you direct recovery paths for console work, reboots, OS changes, firewall fixes, and node troubleshooting. This is a major difference from many shared RPC products. You are not limited to an API layer with no visibility into the server underneath it.

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.
