Private Kaia RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
