// use cases

What Teams Build On Movement Nodes

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

Wallet App Backends

Wallet products need fast account reads, balance and history lookups, and reliable transaction submission. This fits teams serving daily users who cannot let public-endpoint slowdowns disrupt the experience.

DeFi Routing Logic

Swap paths, vault actions, collateral checks, and contract calls all depend on fresh chain state. This suits DeFi teams whose pricing and execution logic break down when Movement RPC responses lag.

Automated Trading Systems

Execution bots need a chain view they can trust before acting. This fits trading systems that monitor state and submit actions repeatedly, where unstable RPC behavior damages timing and accuracy.

Payment Processing Flows

Payment products need dependable reads before they authorize, settle, and reconcile activity. This works for teams handling merchant flows or treasury movement, where chain access cannot be the weakest link.

Portfolio & Dashboard Apps

Portfolio views, dashboards, and reporting panels generate frequent account and transaction lookups. This fits products that need fresher Movement data for end users, analysts, and client-facing reporting.

Indexing Data Pipelines

When your product stores chain data in databases or warehouses, the node becomes a steady upstream source. Best for teams building pipelines that continuously collect, normalize, and process Movement activity.

// how it works

From Movement 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 Movement Node

    Choose a full (follower) or archive node serving the Aptos-style REST API and Indexer GraphQL. Tell us the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant Movement node deploys on NVMe and syncs to head, paired with the Ethereum L1 and data-availability endpoints it needs to stay current.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated REST API + Indexer GraphQL 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 Movement 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 Movement 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 Dedicated Movement RPC Node?

A Dedicated Movement RPC Node is a private, single-tenant server that runs Movement node software for your traffic alone. You use it for chain reads, transaction submission, and backend workloads without sharing CPU, RAM, or storage with other tenants. Movement's docs also state that follower nodes were introduced for RPC-serving workloads, which makes dedicated infrastructure a strong fit for serious app traffic.

How is a dedicated Movement RPC node different from a public Movement RPC endpoint?

Public Movement endpoints are shared and may be rate-limited. A dedicated node gives you your own hardware, your own access rules, and a cleaner path for scaling reads, writes, and internal services. In practice, that means fewer surprises during traffic spikes, more control over exposure, and less dependence on public endpoint policy changes.

Can I run a Movement validator node?

Not in the staking sense. Movement is a Move-based Ethereum L2 where a Decentralized Shared Sequencer orders transactions and state settles to Ethereum, so there is no permissionless, stake-to-earn validator like Ethereum or Solana for apps to provision. The node that apps and indexers actually need is the follower node Movement introduced for RPC-serving workloads. That is what we provision: a fast, dedicated full (follower) or archive RPC node on single-tenant hardware.

Does running a Movement node need Ethereum L1 or DA access?

Yes. As an Ethereum L2, Movement derives its state from data published to a data-availability layer and settled to Ethereum L1, so your node connects to those parent endpoints to stay in sync. If they are slow, your node can fall behind, which shows up as stale reads and delayed indexing. You can bring your own L1 and DA endpoints, or host them on dedicated servers with us in the same region for tighter latency and steadier catch-up.

Does Movement use REST, JSON-RPC, or both?

Today, Movement's live docs center Aptos-style /v1 REST access plus GraphQL indexing for richer and more historical queries. If your workload depends on JSON-RPC or WebSocket-style patterns, validate the exact network and client path before deployment. For most buyers, the safest way to scope a Dedicated Movement RPC Node is around REST reads, transaction flow, and indexing support first.

What server specs do you recommend for my Movement workload?

For lighter private RPC use, we treat 8 cores, 32GB RAM, and 2TB NVMe as the floor. For production traffic, we start at 16 cores, 64GB RAM, and 4TB NVMe, because that is also the follower-node guidance. RedSwitches then gives you room to pair that with 10Gbps or 25Gbps networking and metered or unmetered bandwidth based on sync and traffic shape.

Do you provide archive access for historical Movement queries?

Yes, we can provision archive-capable dedicated infrastructure for historical Movement queries based on what your product needs. Movement's docs separate full nodes from archival nodes and note that archival deployments are required for full-history access and indexers that need complete transaction history from genesis.

How fast can you deploy a Movement RPC node, and what does the sync process look like?

We do not sell a fake instant-live story for node infrastructure. We provision the server, install the required client on request, and deploy according to sync time. The final timeline depends on node mode, chain state, storage speed, and whether you are bringing up a lighter full-node path or a deeper historical build.

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.
