Stop Fighting For Bandwidth On Shared Solana RPC

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

// use cases

What Teams Build On Solana Nodes

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

Faster Validation

High-clock CPUs and ECC RAM speed up block processing. Validators handle votes faster, avoid slot skips, and hold steady uptime through peak network congestion.

Ledger Archival

Store full ledger history with multi-NVMe and warehouse backends. These setups handle hundreds of terabytes, supporting analytics, compliance reviews, and long-term forensics.

DeFi Scaling

DeFi teams host private RPC endpoints for real-time swaps and liquidity analytics. Dedicated compute and unmetered traffic keep throughput high, even during token surges.

MEV Operations

Validator-ready servers support Jito MEV clients and high-frequency strategies. Bots gain priority execution, while low jitter and private networking reduce missed arbitrage.

GameFi Hosting

Blockchain games run fast transactions on dedicated nodes. Low-latency infrastructure supports NFT minting, micro-purchases, and live leaderboards without dips at peak.

Institutional Compliance

Enterprises run Solana nodes for regional compliance. Private data centers in EMEA and APAC meet residency laws, securing blockchain records for regulated exchanges and custodians.

// how it works

From Solana 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 Solana Node

    Choose RPC, archive, or validator. Tell us which account indexes and JSON-RPC methods you expose, and the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant Agave node deploys on high-core servers with separate NVMe for ledger and accounts, snapshot-bootstrapped, so you skip the long cold sync.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated JSON-RPC + WebSocket 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 Solana 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 Solana 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.

// supported chains

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 dedicated Solana node server?

A dedicated Solana node server is a server allocated exclusively to operate a Solana node. It participates in the network by serving RPC traffic or validating transactions and maintaining the ledger, on single-tenant hardware that is yours alone, not a shared pool.

Why should I use a dedicated server for running a Solana node?

A dedicated server gives you enhanced performance, reliability, and security. Reserved CPU, RAM, and NVMe ensure your node operates without interference from other tenants, providing consistent uptime and reducing the risk of slot skips, latency, or rate limits.

What are the hardware requirements for a dedicated Solana node?

For an RPC node, plan on a high-clock CPU with 16 or more cores (AVX2 and SHA support), 256 to 512 GB of ECC RAM for account indexes, and separate NVMe drives for the ledger and accounts. A 10 Gbps uplink is recommended for public production traffic. Validators run similar hardware with a 2.8 GHz or faster CPU that supports SHA extensions.

What Solana JSON-RPC methods do you support?

Our dedicated Solana RPC nodes support all major JSON-RPC methods, including block-level queries (getBlock, getBlockHeight), account queries (getAccountInfo, getBalance), transactions (getTransaction, sendTransaction, simulateTransaction), and utilities like getEpochInfo and getProgramAccounts. You control which methods you expose.

Why use RedSwitches for Solana API access?

Our nodes are tuned for high-volume API workloads with zero rate limits, low response times, and 24/7 availability. Because the hardware is single-tenant, your throughput is bound by your server, not another customer's burst, which is what powers DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and trading bots reliably.

Can I run an archive node that stores full Solana history?

Solana's full unpruned ledger is hundreds of terabytes and grows continuously, so practical historical access uses a warehouse or object-storage backend plus a long-term index (such as Bigtable or Old Faithful) rather than a single disk. We help you design the right tiered setup for analytics, compliance, and replay workloads.

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.
