// use cases

What Teams Build On Hedera Nodes

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

Real-World Asset Tokenization

A private Hedera Mirror Node keeps issuance, transfer, and lookup queries fast and isolated on dedicated hardware, so tokenized-asset platforms stay responsive as record volume grows.

DeFi Platforms

Power high-throughput exchanges and lending protocols on reserved CPU, RAM, and NVMe. eth_call quotes and balance reads stay stable through volatility, with no shared-pool throttling on busy blocks.

Enterprise Supply Chain Solutions

Support mission-critical tracking with Hedera's consensus service. Dedicated capacity keeps event reads and verification queries consistent, so reconciliation and audit jobs do not fall behind during peaks.

NFT Marketplaces

A dedicated node keeps mint reads, allowlist checks, and metadata lookups steady when traffic spikes and shared endpoints throttle, so minting and trading stay smooth.

Payment Networks

Deploy payment infrastructure for high-volume cross-border flows. Private endpoints keep balance checks and transaction-status reads predictable when settlement volume surges, with consistent performance per transaction.

Decentralized Identity Systems

Manage credential issuance and verification on infrastructure tuned for Hedera. Single-tenant isolation keeps identity queries private and response times steady under load.

// how it works

From Hedera 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 Hedera Node

    Choose a full or archive Mirror Node build with the JSON-RPC Relay; tell us the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant Mirror Node and JSON-RPC Relay deploy on NVMe, snapshot-synced, so you skip the long ledger catch-up.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated JSON-RPC Relay, REST API, and gRPC 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 Hedera 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 Hedera 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 exactly is a dedicated Hedera node server?

A dedicated Hedera node server provides high-performance infrastructure exclusively configured for Hedera hashgraph operations. Unlike shared solutions, you get dedicated hardware resources, custom configurations, and ultra-fast response times specifically optimized for advanced Web3 applications and enterprise use cases. On RedSwitches this runs on single-tenant bare metal with root access, so you control your Mirror Node, JSON-RPC Relay, and capacity.

Can I run a Hedera validator or consensus node?

No, not in the permissionless sense. Hedera's consensus nodes are operated by the Hedera Council, a permissioned set of enterprise members, so there is no public stake-to-earn validator like Ethereum or Solana. What you run as an operator is a Mirror Node: it ingests the consensus stream and serves the REST API plus the JSON-RPC Relay that apps, wallets, and indexers actually call. That is exactly what RedSwitches provisions on dedicated bare metal.

Why should I use a dedicated server for running a Hedera node?

A dedicated server is ideal for Hedera Mirror Nodes and RPC because of two benefits. First, you get your choice of hardware, including CPU, RAM, and storage. Second, you can set up custom security by adding firewall rules and DDoS protection. Together these ensure the node meets Hedera's high-speed demands effectively, with reserved resources and a private endpoint instead of a shared, throttled pool.

What are the hardware requirements for a dedicated Hedera node server?

Running your own Hedera node requires technical expertise to set up the right software stack on server hardware. Suggested requirements include a high-performance multi-core processor (6 cores or above), at least 64 GB of RAM, 2 x 3.84 TB NVMe enterprise drives, and a reliable 10 Gbps connection. RedSwitches provides the optimized bare-metal infrastructure and expertise to deploy and maintain high-performance Hedera nodes for RPC operations.

Do I need a full node or an archive node for my use case?

Most production apps work on a full Mirror Node, which serves recent state and the standard REST plus JSON-RPC traffic that wallets, dApps, and bots depend on. Choose an archive build when you need the full transaction history for indexers, analytics, audit trails, or compliance, where storage and query depth grow over time. If you are unsure, start with a full node and upgrade when query depth demands it.

What Hedera JSON-RPC API methods are available?

The JSON-RPC Relay exposes Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility for Hedera smart contracts on EVM chain ID 295 (mainnet). EVM-compatible queries include eth_getBalance, eth_getStorageAt, eth_getTransactionCount, eth_getCode, eth_call, eth_getTransactionReceipt, and eth_getBlockByNumber, plus eth_sendRawTransaction for transactions. For native Hedera data such as accounts, tokens, and transaction history, you query the Mirror Node REST API. On a dedicated node you control which methods you expose.

Do you provide a managed Hedera setup?

Yes. RedSwitches offers fully managed Hedera Mirror Node and RPC deployments with pre-configured enterprise hardware, geo-optimized deployment options, and 24/7 support from Hedera-specialized engineers. You also get SLA-backed uptime guarantees and real-time monitoring. Prefer hands-off operations, or run it yourself with full root access, either way you receive a working private endpoint rather than an empty server.

Why use RedSwitches for Hedera API access?

We run no rate limits, sub-50ms response times, and 24/7 availability for our dedicated Hedera RPC nodes. The infrastructure is tuned specifically for high-volume API workloads, powering DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and trading bots with consistent performance. Because each node is single-tenant bare metal, throughput tracks your hardware, not another tenant's traffic.

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.
