What Teams Build On Hemi Nodes

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

Wallet State Sessions

Wallet backends hit balances, token views, receipts, and nonce checks in short bursts. When queues slow, users see stuck loaders and repeat sends. A dedicated Hemi RPC node keeps session handling clean during busy windows.

App Write Pipelines

Production apps keep reading state, estimating gas, sending transactions, and confirming outcomes. Hemi uses ETH for gas and familiar EVM patterns. Dedicated Hemi RPC works best when stale reads or retry storms start hurting live user actions.

Event Index Pipelines

Indexers pull blocks, logs, receipts, and historical ranges for search, analytics, and user feeds. Dedicated capacity separates heavy indexing from your user-facing request path, so backfills do not stall live traffic.

Tunnel Operations Desk

Hemi tunnels move assets through lock, mint, burn, and proof flows across Bitcoin, Hemi, and Ethereum. Teams need constant status reads to catch stuck deposits, delayed withdrawals, or reconciliation gaps early. A dedicated node keeps monitoring consistent.

Bitcoin State Products

Hemi's hVM and hBK let contracts query Bitcoin balances, UTXOs, headers, confirmations, and transaction details directly. This fits products whose logic depends on live Bitcoin state, not only standard EVM account reads.

Analytics Data Feeds

Analytics stacks keep reading blocks, logs, receipts, and contract state to power dashboards, alerts, and reporting. Dedicated Hemi RPC keeps these data feeds separated from user-facing traffic during busy periods.

// how it works

From Hemi 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 Hemi Node

    Choose full or archive op-geth, and bring or host the Ethereum L1 and Bitcoin parent endpoints Hemi anchors to. Pick the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant op-geth, op-node, and hemid stack deploys on dedicated NVMe, snapshot-synced with the embedded Bitcoin node, so you skip the long replay.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated HTTPS + WSS 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 Hemi 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 Hemi 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chain IDs, clients, archive data, getLogs limits, and why dedicated beats compute-unit billing.

What is a Dedicated Hemi RPC Node, and how is it different from a public Hemi RPC endpoint?

A Dedicated Hemi RPC Node is your own single-tenant server running Hemi access for your workload. Public Hemi RPC is fine for basic development, but Hemi's docs say public endpoints are rate-limited and meant for development and testing, while production apps should use dedicated or third-party infrastructure. With us, your Hemi RPC runs on hardware reserved for your app, not a shared request pool. Public RPC solves the connection; a dedicated setup solves control, capacity, and consistency.

Can I run a Hemi validator node?

Not in the staking sense. Hemi is a modular Bitcoin-aware L2 secured by a sequencer and anchored to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, so there is no permissionless, stake-to-earn validator like Ethereum or Solana. What apps and indexers actually need is a fast, dedicated RPC node, and that is what we provision: a full or archive Hemi RPC node sized to your traffic and query depth.

Do I need Bitcoin and Ethereum access to run a Hemi RPC node?

Yes. Hemi is anchored to both Bitcoin and Ethereum, and its node stack reflects that. op-geth embeds a Bitcoin node and pairs with op-node and the hemid stack, while Hemi's full profile runs the local Hemi, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack for the broadest coverage. If those parent-chain endpoints are slow, your node can fall behind, which shows up as stale reads and delayed indexing. You can bring your own Bitcoin and Ethereum endpoints, or host them with us in the same region for tighter latency.

What is the difference between Hemi's hemi-min, hemi, and full node profiles?

Hemi's official node setup splits self-hosted stacks into hemi-min, hemi, and full docker profiles. hemi-min paired with an L1 profile gives the same trust model as full but without Extended Consensus RPC or fully local PoP mining. hemi adds Extended Consensus RPC. full runs the local Hemi, Bitcoin, and Ethereum stack for the broadest, fully trustless coverage. For most app teams, hemi-min with snapshot sync is the practical starting point, and we scale beyond that only when your workload or data depth needs more.

What server specs are best for a production Hemi RPC Node?

The honest answer depends on the node profile and the job you want the server to do. hemi-min starts light, while full needs much more CPU, RAM, and NVMe, and disk needs grow over time because op-geth embeds a Bitcoin node. For production, we size beyond the minimum when traffic is real. We usually recommend NVMe, more RAM for cache, and stronger uplinks when read concurrency, WebSockets, indexing, or bursts are part of the plan.

Can a Dedicated Hemi RPC Node handle read-heavy production traffic for wallets, bots, indexers, and dApps?

Yes, that is one of the clearest reasons to use dedicated infrastructure. Read-heavy traffic pushes on RAM cache, NVMe I/O, and network peering more than most buyers expect, which is why dedicated hardware works better once your app is doing more than a few developer reads. The key is correct workload design: we often advise buyers to separate user-facing reads from heavy indexing or historical data jobs, because one noisy workload can drag down everything else.

Does RedSwitches offer private endpoints, access controls, and DDoS protection for Hemi RPC?

Yes. We support private endpoint patterns with firewall rules and IP allowlisting, and our dedicated RPC offering includes DDoS protection. That lets you keep access limited to your own backend servers, trusted networks, or a controlled proxy layer instead of exposing your Hemi RPC directly to the open internet. You can keep a Dedicated Hemi RPC Node private, put stricter controls in front of it, and still keep full server access for troubleshooting and hardening.

Can I run more than one Hemi RPC Node for failover or load distribution?

Yes, and for serious production use we usually recommend it. Our dedicated RPC guidance points to patterns like active and standby failover, read and write separation, or multi-region nodes behind a load balancer. That lowers the risk of one maintenance event, one client issue, or one reindex job becoming a user-facing outage. One node is fine for staging; two or more is where your Hemi RPC setup starts to look production-ready.

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.
