Private Fluent RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

A Fluent RPC node is the server endpoint your app, wallet, bot, or internal tool uses to read chain data, send transactions, and subscribe to network activity on Fluent. It is the access layer between your software and the Fluent network, using Ethereum-style JSON-RPC methods developers already know. When we deploy a Dedicated Fluent RPC Node, we give you private infrastructure for that access layer instead of placing your workload on a shared public pool, so you get steadier reads, cleaner WebSocket behavior, more direct server control, and room for heavier engineering work.

You choose a Dedicated Fluent RPC Node when your workload needs control, steadier performance, and fewer unknowns. Shared services are fine for light development and low-volume calls, but once your app serves users, bots, dashboards, WebSockets, or repeated chain reads, private hardware becomes easier to plan around. With us, your Fluent RPC runs on single-tenant infrastructure with NVMe storage, strong 10Gbps or 25Gbps network options, DDoS protection, and direct access through KVM, root, and IPMI. That is the difference between a generic shared URL and running your own private Fluent lane.

Fluent mainnet went live on 24 April 2026, alongside the BLEND token, and runs on chain ID 25363 with its own RPC and the fluentscan.xyz explorer. The earlier Testnet (chain ID 20994) and Developer Preview, also called devnet (chain ID 20993), remain available for staging and integration work. We provision Dedicated Fluent RPC Nodes against whichever network you target, and we size mainnet builds for production while keeping room to grow as the chain matures.

Not as a self-hosted, stake-to-earn validator. Fluent is an Ethereum L2 rollup that settles to Ethereum L1 and is driven by a sequencer, and while the BLEND token is used for staking and governance, Fluent does not publish a permissionless validator client you run yourself. What apps and indexers actually need is a fast, dedicated RPC node, and that is what we provision: full or archive Fluent RPC on single-tenant hardware. If Fluent's operator model opens further as the network matures, we can scope node operations to match.

Yes. As a rollup, Fluent derives its state from Ethereum, so your node connects to an Ethereum L1 RPC endpoint. If that parent-chain endpoint is slow or rate-limited, your Fluent node can fall behind, which shows up as stale reads and delayed indexing. You can bring your own Ethereum endpoints, or run Ethereum on dedicated servers with us so you control rate limits and reliability. Hosting both with RedSwitches lets you place them in the same region for tighter latency and faster catch-up.

Yes, with some variation by network. Fluent's connection docs list an HTTPS JSON-RPC endpoint on mainnet, and both HTTPS and WebSocket (WSS) endpoints on the Testnet and Developer Preview networks. That gives developers two common access patterns: standard request-response RPC over HTTPS and live subscriptions over WebSockets for event-driven workflows. A private Fluent RPC Node gives your team a cleaner setup for app traffic, internal services, and real-time event streams without forcing everything through a shared public endpoint.

Fluent is EVM-compatible, so it exposes the standard Ethereum JSON-RPC surface developers expect, and provider documentation reports Debug method support as well. That matters for engineering teams because basic reads are only part of real node operations. Once you start troubleshooting failed calls, tracing execution, or reviewing chain behavior in depth, Debug access becomes much more useful. Dedicated hardware gives us more room to support traces, heavier reads, backfills, and failure review on infrastructure reserved for your team, which is far easier to manage than hoping a public endpoint behaves under deeper engineering workloads.

We choose specs based on the kind of work your node will do, not the chain name alone. A lighter private RPC for app reads and writes usually starts with fewer cores, moderate RAM, and fast NVMe. A heavier node for WebSockets, backfills, tracing, or history-heavy queries needs more CPU headroom, memory, and disk. Fluent does not publish a formal hardware matrix, so we map your stack into three buckets, app traffic, engineering and debug traffic, and data-heavy traffic, then recommend a build that fits your current load and leaves room to grow.

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.
