What Teams Build On Moonbeam Nodes

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

EVM dApp Backends

Moonbeam runs existing Ethereum dApps with minimal changes. Your endpoint serves contract reads, gas estimation, and broadcast over standard Web3 tooling, so launches and campaign spikes avoid shared-pool throttling.

Wallet Read Backends

Wallets need fast reads and steady submission. Your Moonbeam endpoint serves balances, nonce checks, and broadcast over Ethereum JSON-RPC, so a dedicated setup avoids congestion-driven timeouts during spikes.

Explorer And Indexing

Explorers and indexers run heavy historical queries nonstop. A dedicated archive node with Frontier trace runtimes supports long-running ingestion and deep lookups without shared-endpoint limits.

Cross-Chain Operations

Moonbeam connects Ethereum tooling to Polkadot via XCM. A dedicated node gives bridges and messaging services stable access to both Ethereum and Substrate interfaces from one host.

DeFi And Trading Bots

DeFi apps and bots create sustained reads and bursts during volatility. Your node serves price checks, state reads, and fast submissions when timing matters, where shared endpoints cause slippage and failed submits.

Private Internal RPC

Enterprises want Moonbeam access without exposing endpoints publicly. Restrict access by IP and network rules for internal apps and partner systems, with a clearer security posture.

From Moonbeam 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 Moonbeam Node

    Choose a full or archive node. We run the moonbeam binary with its relay chain node; tell us if you need Ethereum JSON-RPC, Substrate JSON-RPC, or both, and your region.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant node deploys on NVMe tuned for single-thread speed, snapshot-restored for both the parachain and relay chain, so you skip the long cold sync.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated Ethereum and Substrate JSON-RPC endpoint over HTTP and WSS with unlimited requests and zero rate limits, private behind IP allowlisting and DDoS protection.

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 Moonbeam 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 Moonbeam 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is Moonbeam and why do developers choose it for production dApps?

Moonbeam is a fully EVM-compatible smart contract platform running as a parachain on Polkadot with EVM chain ID 1284. It offers native Ethereum tooling support, ~6-second block times, and cross-chain interoperability through XCM, making it ideal for deploying existing Ethereum dApps with minimal changes while accessing Polkadot's ecosystem.

Which Moonbeam node type do I need: full RPC or archive RPC?

Most teams start with a full Moonbeam node because it serves current-state reads and transaction submission with far lower storage needs. Choose archive RPC when your product must query full history, power explorers, run deep analytics, or use EVM trace and debug methods. If you are unsure, tell us your workload and we will map you to the right node type.

Does your Moonbeam node expose both Ethereum and Substrate JSON-RPC?

Yes. Moonbeam is a parachain that runs the Frontier EVM, so a single node exposes the full Ethereum JSON-RPC (eth, net, web3, debug, txpool, trace) for Web3.js and Ethers.js, plus the Substrate JSON-RPC (chain, state, system) for Polkadot.js. You can use either interface over HTTP or WSS on the same dedicated endpoint.

Is Moonbeam an independent Layer 1, and how does that affect running a node?

No. Moonbeam is a Polkadot parachain, not a standalone Layer 1. Block production is handled by collators using the Nimbus framework, while finality comes from Polkadot's GRANDPA gadget on the relay chain. In practice a full Moonbeam node runs the moonbeam binary alongside an embedded relay chain node, which we account for in sizing and sync.

What is the difference between a shared Moonbeam RPC provider and dedicated Moonbeam RPC node servers?

A shared Moonbeam RPC provider runs many customers on pooled infrastructure, which can create unpredictable latency during spikes plus shared rate limits and noisy-neighbor slowdowns. Dedicated Moonbeam RPC node servers give you single-tenant resources, your own access rules, and clearer fault boundaries. You control performance and security instead of inheriting someone else's traffic.

How long does it take to deploy a dedicated Moonbeam RPC node, and what affects sync time?

Provisioning is fast. The real variable is sync time, which depends on chain state, node type, storage speed, and network conditions. A full RPC usually reaches a usable state earlier than an archive setup because an archive has far more data to process. We deploy according to sync time, restoring from snapshots where available, so you are not sold a fake instant promise.

What ports do you expose for Moonbeam RPC and WebSocket, and can I restrict access?

You can expose the standard HTTP and WSS RPC ports used by Moonbeam nodes. We recommend exposing only what you need. Many teams restrict access to known IPs, put a reverse proxy in front, and keep admin surfaces closed. With a dedicated server, you can define firewall rules that match your risk level and traffic profile.

Can I scale CPU, RAM, and NVMe as traffic grows without changing providers?

Yes. That is a core benefit of running a dedicated Moonbeam RPC node on dedicated servers. You can scale up resources as load grows, add storage for archive needs, and move to higher core counts for heavy concurrency. This keeps your endpoint stable while your product grows, without rebuilding everything on a new platform.

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.
