Stop Fighting For Bandwidth On Shared peaq RPC

Shared peaq RPC pools throttle you, bill you per compute unit, and seat you next to noisy neighbors. A dedicated peaq node is your own private backbone: flat-priced, uncapped, and yours alone.

// use cases

What Teams Build On peaq Nodes

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

DePIN Revenue Apps

Run apps that calculate rewards, validate device activity, and update dashboards from peaq RPC data. Dedicated CPU, RAM, and NVMe keep reward reads stable as device fleets grow.

Device Onboarding Paths

Use a dedicated peaq RPC node when machines register, link accounts, confirm status, or pass approval steps. Reserved resources keep onboarding flows responsive during registration spikes.

Machine Proof Trails

Connect machine data with signed records, storage references, and proof-linked events. A dedicated node keeps these reads off shared endpoints that throttle under load.

Wallet Transaction Views

Power wallet screens that show balances, gas data, transaction status, and account history. EVM JSON-RPC stays consistent for wallets and Solidity apps under concurrency.

Runtime Logic Checks

Use Substrate queries for metadata, block details, chain status, and state checks that guide app rules. Dedicated hardware keeps runtime reads predictable across both RPC paths.

Fleet Status Dashboards

Feed dashboards with device status, location changes, event timing, and alerts from peaq RPC streams. Reserved resources keep long-running WSS streams steady during traffic spikes.

// how it works

From peaq 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 peaq Node

    Choose full, archive, or collator. Tell us whether you need EVM JSON-RPC, Substrate access, or both, and the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant node deploys on NVMe, the peaq client snapshot-synced to the finalized head, so you skip the long cold sync.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated Substrate and EVM JSON-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 peaq 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 peaq 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.

One Backbone For Every Major Chain

Run validators, RPC, and archive nodes across the chains your stack depends on, all on the same dedicated bare metal, with the same isolation, speed, and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is a peaq RPC node?

A peaq RPC node is a server that lets your app read from and write to the peaq network. It handles wallet requests, contract reads, transactions, block data, and live chain queries. peaq supports DePIN workloads and EVM access with mainnet chain ID 3338, so it can serve Web3 apps, wallets, indexers, and machine-focused backends.

Why use a dedicated peaq RPC node instead of a public peaq RPC endpoint?

Public peaq RPC endpoints are useful for testing, light reads, and early builds. Production apps need more control. With RedSwitches, your dedicated peaq RPC node runs on single-tenant hardware with private access rules, NVMe storage, DDoS protection, and a 99.99% infrastructure uptime SLA. You avoid shared endpoint pressure and keep your app's RPC path under your own policy.

Does peaq RPC support both EVM and Substrate calls?

Yes. peaq supports EVM-based development while its chain design is Substrate-based. This matters because your app may need Ethereum-style JSON-RPC for wallets and Solidity contracts, plus Substrate-style access for runtime data. We size and prepare your peaq RPC setup around that mixed workload instead of treating peaq like a basic EVM-only endpoint.

Can I use a dedicated peaq RPC node for DePIN apps and machine identity workflows?

Yes. A dedicated peaq RPC node is a strong fit for DePIN apps that read device activity, check machine-linked accounts, support peaq-native access patterns, or route contract calls through a private backend. peaq docs cover DID, storage, RBAC, and related precompile modules that help EVM smart contracts interact with peaq-native functions.

Does a peaq RPC node support HTTP and WebSocket endpoints?

Yes. peaq lists public RPC and WSS URLs for mainnet access, and its docs show WebSocket-based JSON-RPC subscriptions for chain events. With RedSwitches, we can prepare HTTP and WSS access for wallets, dashboards, bots, indexers, and app servers that need live peaq RPC data.

Do I need an archive peaq RPC node for historical data?

You may need an archive peaq RPC node if your product depends on older state, long-range scans, reward reviews, analytics, or audit records. Live app traffic and history-heavy reads should not always share the same node role. We can help you plan archive access as part of a dedicated peaq RPC node setup or a premium peaq cluster with separate live and history roles.

What hardware specs are recommended for a production peaq RPC node?

peaq's docs list a baseline node setup with Ubuntu 20.04, a 3.3GHz AMD EPYC 7002 CPU, 1TB SSD, and 8GB RAM. Production RPC needs more headroom. For apps, wallets, DePIN backends, and indexers, we recommend high-clock cores, NVMe storage, 64GB or more RAM, and 10Gbps or 25Gbps network options.

Can RedSwitches install and support the required peaq client?

Yes. RedSwitches can provide the required client installed, then bring the node online according to peaq sync time. You can choose unmanaged access for full DevOps control or ask us for support around setup, recovery, server resources, and scaling. We also provide free 24/7 technical support for dedicated RPC node customers.

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.
