Private PulseChain RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

A PulseChain RPC node is a server running PulseChain's clients (an execution client such as go-pulse plus a consensus client such as lighthouse-pulse) that exposes the standard Ethereum JSON-RPC your app uses to read chain data and broadcast transactions. Most teams rely on a dedicated PulseChain node to serve dApps, wallets, indexers, and dashboards with stable, predictable access.

PulseChain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 launched as a full-state fork of Ethereum, so Ethereum contracts, addresses, and tooling carry over. It runs Proof of Stake with roughly 10-second block slots and much lower fees, using PLS as the native gas token. Because it forks Ethereum's clients (go-pulse from geth, lighthouse-pulse from Lighthouse), the developer experience is the same Ethereum JSON-RPC.

PulseChain exposes the standard Ethereum JSON-RPC namespaces, including eth, net, web3, txpool, and debug, with trace available on Erigon-based archive nodes. You use the same tooling as Ethereum, such as Hardhat, Foundry, ethers, and web3.js, and explore the chain on scan.pulsechain.com or otter.pulsechain.com.

Choose a standard full node when you mainly need the latest state, receipts, and recent logs. Choose an archive node when you need deep historical state for analytics, explorers, audits, or long-range backfills. Because PulseChain carries Ethereum's forked state, archive disk is large and grows continuously, so we size NVMe to your query depth.

Yes. PulseChain uses Ethereum-style Proof of Stake, so a validator pairs an execution client (go-pulse or erigon-pulse) with a consensus client and validator (lighthouse-pulse or Prysm). On a dedicated node you hold the validator keys, we run the metal, and you get full root, KVM, and IPMI access with fast recovery.

Shared RPC endpoints throttle, vary in latency, and change policies without warning. A dedicated PulseChain node runs on single-tenant CPU, RAM, and NVMe, so your throughput and response times depend on your hardware headroom, not other tenants or shared quotas. Local NVMe also removes the read and write stalls that cause RPC failures during traffic spikes.

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.
