Stop Fighting For Bandwidth On Shared Kaia RPC

Shared Kaia RPC pools throttle you, bill you per compute unit, and seat you next to noisy neighbors. A dedicated Kaia node is your own private backbone: flat-priced, uncapped, and yours alone.

What Teams Build On Kaia Nodes

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

Wallet Read Layer

Power wallet backends that handle balance checks, nonce tracking, token lookups, and transaction submission all day. A dedicated Kaia node keeps everyday reads steady and gives your signing and broadcast flow a stronger base.

Exchange Order Rail

Run trading flows where delayed reads or crowded endpoints hurt execution quality. Private Kaia RPC capacity gives exchange systems more control over mempool watching, transaction dispatch, and confirmation tracking when timing matters.

Explorer Query Engine

Serve block pages, address pages, receipt lookups, and contract views without leaning on shared infrastructure. This fits teams building public explorers or internal dashboards that need fast query paths and tighter backend control.

Indexing Data Pipelines

Feed indexers that pull logs, receipts, transfers, and contract events into databases or analytics stacks. Dedicated infrastructure gives your pipeline room to ingest chain data, replay jobs, and keep downstream services supplied during heavy sync windows.

Live Game Backends

Support game economies, reward claims, inventory actions, and session-linked onchain events without routing every request through a public endpoint. This works well when gameplay depends on fast state reads and smoother transaction delivery.

Onchain AI Agents

Run AI agents that read chain state, access wallets, and trigger onchain actions inside larger workflows. Kaia documents Agent Kit for this model, which makes dedicated node capacity a practical fit for agent-driven systems.

// how it works

From Kaia 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 Kaia Node

    Choose full, archive, or Upstream EN. RPC is EVM-compatible (KVM) over the klay, kaia, and eth namespaces; tell us the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant Kaia Endpoint Node (ken) deploys on NVMe with a 3,500 Mbps disk floor, snapshot-synced, so you skip the long bootstrap.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated JSON-RPC over HTTP and WebSocket 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 Kaia 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 Kaia 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.

One Backbone For Every Major Chain

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is a Dedicated Kaia RPC Node?

A Dedicated Kaia RPC Node is a single-tenant server that runs your Kaia Endpoint Node for private RPC access. You are not sharing CPU, RAM, disk, or network with other customers. At RedSwitches, that means bare-metal infrastructure, root access, and the flexibility to run the node in a way that fits your app, team, and traffic profile.

How is a dedicated Kaia RPC server different from a shared Kaia RPC endpoint?

A shared endpoint is quick to start with, but it comes with shared limits, variable traffic conditions, and less control over the machine. Kaia's own docs say public endpoints are for testing and development, and that uptime and stability are not guaranteed for commercial use. A dedicated Kaia RPC server gives you private capacity, direct infrastructure control, and stronger isolation for production workloads.

Do I need a full node or an archive node for my Kaia application?

Most apps start fine on a full node. Kaia says full nodes suit latest-state reads and occasional tracing, while archive nodes are needed for comprehensive historical state access and data analysis. If you mainly serve current data but still need old-state queries at times, Kaia documents an Upstream EN model where full nodes fall back to an archive node.

What server specs do I need for a Kaia full node or archive node?

Kaia's official Endpoint Node baseline is 8 vCPU, 64 GiB RAM, more than 4,000 GiB storage, 3,500 Mbps disk bandwidth, and up to 10 Gbps network bandwidth. That is a starting point, not a production ceiling. In practice, we size above minimum for serious RPC use, and we use NVMe, upgradeable DDR4 or DDR5 RAM, and 10 or 25 Gbps uplinks when the workload calls for it.

Why should I choose a Dedicated Kaia RPC Node instead of a public endpoint?

Choose dedicated when Kaia RPC becomes part of your production stack, not just a dev convenience. Public endpoints can face service delay and changing rate limits under concentrated traffic. Dedicated infrastructure gives you private headroom, stronger control over access and maintenance, and a more stable base for wallets, exchanges, backends, and user-facing apps.

How much traffic can a Dedicated Kaia RPC Node handle?

There is no honest one-number answer, because capacity depends on your method mix, concurrency, node mode, tracing load, and whether historical queries share the same box. We size around the workload, not a marketing RPS number. RedSwitches gives you single-tenant hardware, NVMe, and 10 or 25 Gbps network options, which is a stronger base than shared endpoint quotas when traffic grows.

Can I scale from a full node to an archive node later?

Yes. That is a common path. Many teams begin with a full node for current-state traffic, then add archive capacity when historical queries, tracing, or analytics become more important. Kaia also documents a cost-aware middle ground with Upstream EN, where full nodes call an archive node only when older state is needed.

Do I get root, KVM, and IPMI access to the server?

Yes. That is one of the main reasons teams choose RedSwitches for dedicated node infrastructure. Our dedicated RPC offering includes root access, KVM console access, and IPMI for out-of-band recovery. That gives your team direct control during upgrades, failed boots, OS work, storage changes, and incident response.

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.
