Fuel speaks a GraphQL API, not Ethereum JSON-RPC, so there are no eth_* namespaces. An Ignition mainnet node also needs an Ethereum L1 RPC for the relayer path; bring your own or host it with us in the same region. Keep your endpoint private behind IP allowlisting and firewall rules.

// use cases

What Teams Build On Fuel Nodes

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

Wallet Read Paths

Wallet traffic comes in short bursts: balances, history, pending status, and send checks. A dedicated Fuel node keeps user-facing reads off the shared pool, so balances and confirmations stay fast during active sessions.

Strategy Feed Loops

Execution systems watch chain state continuously, then act when rules are met. Private Fuel GraphQL access gives those loops a steadier path for quote checks and transaction timing, with dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe keeping p95 latency stable.

DeFi Action Flows

Before a user confirms a swap or vault action, your stack runs several reads in sequence. Dedicated Fuel GraphQL capacity keeps those checks consistent when frontend and backend traffic rise together, which keeps confirmation rates high during volatility.

Explorer Search Bursts

Explorer traffic is uneven: a quiet minute turns into hundreds of address, block, and transaction lookups after a link spreads. Dedicated hardware keeps contract pages and search endpoints responsive without competing for shared cache and I/O.

Indexing Near Head

Indexers work best close to chain head, ingesting cleanly into internal stores. A dedicated node gives stable Fuel GraphQL reads for parsers, event consumers, and analytics pipelines, so ETL jobs do not stall mid-run or skip blocks.

Service Mesh Backbone

Many teams place Fuel behind an internal service layer handling auth, caching, and retries. There the dedicated node becomes the trusted backend for several products at once, and single-tenant isolation keeps that backbone steady as more services depend on it.

// how it works

From Fuel 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 Fuel Node

    Choose a full or archive node serving the Fuel GraphQL API; tell us the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant fuel-core deploys on NVMe, snapshot-bootstrapped and wired to an Ethereum L1 relayer, so you skip the long cold sync.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated Fuel GraphQL 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 Fuel 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 the Fuel sequencer 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 Fuel RPC node, and how is it different from a standard JSON-RPC node?

A Fuel RPC node is a Fuel full node that serves your app through GraphQL, not the usual JSON-RPC pattern most EVM teams expect. In practice, that means your app can query balances, blocks, and transactions, then also simulate and submit transactions through the same Fuel GraphQL interface. Fuel full nodes also re-execute blocks locally for verification, so this is not just a thin gateway layer.

Why should I choose a dedicated Fuel RPC node instead of a public endpoint?

Choose a dedicated Fuel RPC node when your app can no longer tolerate shared limits, noisy traffic, or best-effort access. Fuel's own docs say public endpoints are provided on a best-effort basis and recommend provider accounts for commercial projects that need stronger support and rate limits. Our model gives you single-tenant hardware, private endpoint control, NVMe-backed storage, and direct recovery access, so your Fuel RPC stays tied to your workload, not someone else's traffic.

Can I run a Fuel validator node?

Not in the staking sense. Fuel is a parallel-execution rollup that settles to Ethereum and currently runs a centralized sequencer, so there is no permissionless, stake-to-earn validator like Ethereum or Solana. What we provision is what apps and indexers actually need: a fast, dedicated full or archive RPC node running fuel-core, serving the Fuel GraphQL endpoint.

Does a Fuel mainnet node also need an Ethereum RPC endpoint for the relayer?

Yes. For Ignition mainnet, Fuel's node operator docs ask for an Ethereum RPC endpoint during setup, and the reference fuel-core command includes the relayer flag with that Ethereum endpoint. In plain terms, your mainnet node is not only serving Fuel traffic. It also needs a healthy Ethereum side path for relayer duties. You can bring your own Ethereum endpoint or host it with us in the same region for tighter latency, and we treat that dependency as part of the design from day one.

Do I need archive data for my product, or is a standard full node enough?

Most teams should start with a standard full node. That is usually enough for live app reads, transaction flows, wallet backends, and normal production traffic. Move toward a history-heavy build only if you need deep historical reads, long-range analytics, heavy replay work, or repeated backfills. We treat that as a sizing and architecture decision, not a box-checking exercise, and can shape the storage and node layout around history depth instead of overspending from day one.

How do I choose the right server size for my Fuel workload?

Start with the workload, not the cheapest plan. If your node mainly serves app reads and transaction submission, we usually suggest a production baseline around fast NVMe, solid RAM headroom, and enough CPU to avoid tail-latency spikes under bursts. Our general dedicated RPC guidance points to NVMe IOPS, RAM cache, and network peering as the main pressure points. For many production deployments, that means starting above a test setup and leaving room for growth instead of resizing too late.

Should I run one node or multiple nodes for high availability?

For production, we usually recommend more than one node. A single node can work for early stages or internal use, but serious apps benefit from redundancy, failover, and clean maintenance windows. Our dedicated RPC guidance recommends patterns like active and standby pairs, read and write separation, or multi-region routing behind a load balancer. If you are building a Premium Fuel dedicated node cluster, that second node is often the step that turns a working setup into a safer production setup.

What security controls can I put in front of my Fuel endpoint?

We recommend treating the endpoint as a security boundary. Keep it private where possible, place a reverse proxy or gateway in front if needed, then add firewall rules, IP allowlisting, and request controls that match your traffic model. Our dedicated RPC platform supports private endpoints with firewall rules and IP allowlisting, and our dedicated server platform includes DDoS protection plus KVM, root, and IPMI access if recovery is needed.

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.
