// use cases

What Teams Build On Mode Nodes

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

Wallet Read Layer

Wallets need fast balance checks, nonce reads, token views, and transaction status. A dedicated Mode RPC node keeps these calls responsive when activity rises, instead of queuing behind a shared public pool.

Bot Decision Engine

Trading and automation systems depend on clean reads before they act. Your Mode RPC feeds state checks, trigger conditions, and latency-sensitive logic without the random slowdowns that disrupt entries, exits, or routing.

Explorer Search Backend

Search-heavy products need a Mode RPC node that supports transaction lookups, contract reads, block queries, and address activity without feeling slow to users. A dedicated node keeps these answers fast during ecosystem events.

Contract Alert Systems

Security tools, treasury monitors, and product alerts need dependable event reads to spot failed transactions, unusual contract activity, or threshold events early. A dedicated node keeps event scans consistent so watchers stay current.

Read Write Separation

Some teams want one path for public reads and another for protected sends. Single-tenant hardware isolates the two paths cleanly, keeping user-facing traffic clean while giving private transaction flows tighter control.

Analytics Data Feeds

Growth teams and analysts often need on-chain data long after the block is produced. A dedicated Mode RPC deployment supports dashboards, ETL jobs, and contract trend analysis without fragile query behavior or shared-pool throttling.

// how it works

From Mode 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 Mode Node

    Choose full or archive op-geth, and bring or host the Ethereum L1 RPC + beacon your op-node depends on. Pick the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant op-geth + op-node deploys on dedicated NVMe, bootstrapped from a current Mode snapshot, so you skip the long replay.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated HTTPS + WSS RPC 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 Mode 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 Mode 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 Mode RPC node, and what does it actually do?

A Mode RPC node is the server your app talks to when it needs Mode blockchain data or wants to send a transaction. It handles standard EVM-style JSON-RPC requests such as balance reads, contract calls, event queries, and transaction broadcasts. Mode mainnet uses chain ID 34443, and because Mode is built on the OP Stack, a self-hosted node follows a rollup-node-plus-execution-client model rather than a one-binary setup.

What is the difference between public Mode RPC and a Dedicated Mode RPC Node?

The public option is shared infrastructure. Mode's own docs say its public RPC is a full archive node and should be enough for most use cases. A Dedicated Mode RPC Node is different because the compute, memory, storage, and traffic lane are yours alone. We use that model for teams that want private capacity, steadier performance under load, and direct control over the server instead of living inside a shared pool.

Can I run a Mode validator node?

Not in the staking sense. Mode is an OP-Stack Ethereum L2 in the Superchain with a centralized sequencer, so there is no permissionless, stake-to-earn validator like Ethereum or Solana. What a self-hosted Mode node provides is a rollup node plus execution client that derives state and serves RPC, not a consensus role that earns yield. What we provision is a fast, dedicated full or archive RPC node, which is what apps, bots, and indexers actually need.

Do I need Ethereum L1 access to run a Mode RPC node?

Yes. Mode derives much of its chain from Ethereum L1 data, so your node must connect to an Ethereum execution RPC endpoint and a Beacon endpoint. Mode's own repo notes that sync speed depends on your Ethereum L1 node and points operators to optimism_syncStatus to track progress. 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 Ethereum endpoints or host them with us in the same region for tighter latency.

Do I need a full node or an archive node for my Mode workload?

For most production apps, a full node is enough if your traffic is focused on current state, recent logs, normal contract calls, and transaction submission. Archive is the better fit when you need deep historical state, large backfills, heavy analytics, or forensic-style queries. Since Mode already exposes a public archive RPC, some teams start there and only buy dedicated archive when they need private throughput, stricter control, or long-running data jobs on their own hardware.

How much CPU, RAM, and NVMe storage does a production Mode RPC node need?

Mode's own self-hosting guide starts at 16 GB RAM and 200 GB free SSD, but we treat that as a baseline, not a production target. For a normal production Mode RPC workload, we usually size higher, often with fast modern cores, at least 32 GB RAM, and NVMe storage with enough headroom for sync, logs, and future growth. If you expect indexers, heavier history scans, or archive-style usage, we size above that and map the hardware to your real traffic pattern.

How long does a Mode node take to sync before it is ready for production?

There is no honest fixed number. Mode's own repo says sync speed depends on your Ethereum L1 node, because much of the chain is derived from L1 data, and it points operators to optimism_syncStatus to track progress. So we do not treat server delivered and node ready as the same thing. We deploy according to the sync time and size the hardware around the job, because production readiness depends on stack setup, L1 quality, Beacon access, and the workload you plan to run.

Do you offer managed and unmanaged Dedicated Mode RPC Node servers?

Yes. We offer both. On unmanaged servers, we give you the hardware, full root access, DDoS protection, and core infrastructure monitoring, while your team handles the OS, client stack, patching, hardening, and backups. On managed servers, we take on more of the server work, including OS installation, updates, security hardening, firewall setup, monitoring, and support. You still keep root access, so you stay in control of the node environment while we reduce the operational load.

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.
