Private MegaETH RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

A dedicated MegaETH RPC node runs on single-tenant bare-metal hardware reserved for you: CPU, RAM, NVMe storage, and network port are yours alone. Shared RPC endpoints split capacity across many users, so when demand spikes they throttle requests or add latency. A dedicated setup avoids that and lets you control the full stack, from the MegaETH node to its Ethereum L1 and EigenDA dependencies.

Yes. MegaETH mainnet launched on February 9, 2026 and uses chain ID 4326 with ETH as the native gas token. It is a real-time, fully EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer-2 built on the OP Stack, with data availability on EigenDA and settlement to Ethereum L1. A separate testnet (chain ID 6342) is also available for development.

MegaETH is an OP Stack rollup. A full node receives blocks from the sequencer and re-executes them to validate every state transition, then serves standard Ethereum JSON-RPC. Because data availability is on EigenDA and the chain settles to Ethereum L1, a node also depends on an Ethereum L1 RPC and EigenDA access. With full root access you install, configure, and update these on your own schedule.

No. MegaETH uses a single, operator-controlled sequencer that orders and executes transactions, with a high-availability standby for failover. There is no permissionless validator role. What you run, and what RedSwitches provides, is a full or archive RPC node that serves reads, subscriptions, and historical queries privately and without rate limits.

The sequencer produces mini-blocks roughly every 10 milliseconds containing executed transactions, receipts, and state changes, then bundles them into standard EVM blocks about every second. Confirmations are queryable in around 10 milliseconds. Your node streams these mini-blocks, so WebSocket subscriptions return fresh state almost immediately, which is what makes high-frequency trading and gaming workloads feel real time.

MegaETH does not yet publish an official operator hardware table, so we size conservatively. A full node runs well on 16+ high-clock cores, 64 to 128 GB RAM, and several TB of NVMe; archive needs more RAM and disk. Because MegaETH targets very high throughput, state and history grow quickly, so NVMe speed and headroom matter, plan disk generously and refresh sizing as the chain grows.

A full node keeps current state and recent history and serves most RPC queries: balances, contract reads, receipts, and recent logs. An archive node retains full historical state at every block height, which is needed for eth_call at older blocks, historical balance lookups, and deep event-log scans. Archive needs significantly more storage and RAM, so choose full for standard production and archive when you need historical state.

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.
