// use cases

What Teams Build On Sonic Nodes

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

Wallet Backend Reads

Wallet backends need fast balance checks, nonce lookups, gas reads, and transaction status at all hours. A dedicated Sonic node serves these reads without the delays or inconsistent responses of shared endpoints during active user sessions.

Exchange Flow Monitoring

Exchange teams need constant chain visibility for deposits, withdrawals, confirmations, and hot-wallet activity. A dedicated Sonic node keeps operational tracking, treasury checks, and internal monitoring consistent under daily transaction volume.

Explorer Search Products

Block explorers serve users expecting fast transaction pages, account views, and contract lookups. A dedicated Sonic node gives explorer products dependable chain access while supporting public traffic, internal indexing, and large query volumes at once.

Indexing Data Pipelines

Indexers scan logs, process events, rebuild datasets, and repair missed ranges, not just read the latest block. A dedicated Sonic node gives ingestion pipelines and analytics layers a reliable source of chain data for ongoing processing.

Trading Signal Engines

Trading systems watch pending transactions, contract events, and live chain state to trigger actions. A dedicated Sonic node gives desks and automation teams cleaner access to the data feeds driving execution logic, alerts, and market response.

Event-Driven Apps

Many products depend on contract events to trigger user actions, notifications, rewards, or internal jobs. A dedicated Sonic node gives dApps, gaming platforms, and automation tools reliable event streams to react quickly when on-chain activity changes state.

// how it works

From Sonic 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 Sonic Node

    Choose full, archive, or validator. RPC is standard EVM JSON-RPC; tell us your archive depth and the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant sonicd node deploys on local NVMe, no remote EBS, restored from a current snapshot so you skip the long genesis sync.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated EVM 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 Sonic 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 Sonic 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 Sonic RPC node?

A dedicated Sonic RPC node is a Sonic node that runs on single-tenant infrastructure reserved for your workload. You do not share CPU, RAM, storage, or network capacity with unrelated users, which gives your app more control, steadier performance, and a cleaner path for scaling private or public RPC traffic.

How is a dedicated Sonic RPC node different from public Sonic RPC endpoints?

Public Sonic RPC endpoints work well for testing and light use. A dedicated setup gives you reserved resources, tighter access control, custom server sizing, and more predictable behavior under production traffic. That matters when your app depends on stable reads, WebSocket sessions, and controlled transaction broadcasting.

Do I need a full node or an archive node for Sonic?

Choose a standard full node if you mainly need current-state reads, contract calls, and transaction submission. Choose archive when you need full historical state, deep log scans, explorer-style lookups, replay work, or analytics. Sonic's docs state that archive nodes handle historical data requests, while validator nodes focus on real-time operations rather than general API requests.

What workloads benefit most from a dedicated Sonic RPC node?

The best fits are wallets, exchanges, trading systems, partner APIs, event-driven apps, explorers, indexers, and analytics pipelines. If public endpoints feel fine until traffic spikes, a dedicated Sonic RPC node is usually the next step. It gives you private capacity for heavier reads, longer backfills, and more consistent production behavior.

How do dedicated Sonic nodes improve WebSocket stability and timeout consistency?

A dedicated Sonic node removes shared-resource contention and gives you more control over subscription traffic, polling traffic, and write traffic. Sonic also recommends putting public RPC behind a proxy such as HAProxy or Nginx to moderate request volume and reduce dropped subscriptions, timeout spikes, and unstable bursts.

Which Sonic RPC methods and WebSocket subscriptions are supported?

Sonic is fully EVM-compatible, so a dedicated Sonic RPC node supports the standard Ethereum-style JSON-RPC flow most apps already use for reads, contract calls, logs, receipts, and transaction submission. Sonic also publishes an official WebSocket endpoint, though exact API exposure can vary by client version and node configuration.

Can I separate public read traffic from private transaction broadcast paths?

Yes, and that is often the better production design. You can keep read traffic on one endpoint while restricting transaction broadcasts behind private routing, auth rules, or IP allowlists. Sonic's node guidance supports moderated public RPC access, which fits this split-endpoint model well for safer operations.

What server specs do I need for private RPC, archive queries, or heavier production traffic?

For Sonic, storage latency and RAM headroom matter a lot. A practical private RPC baseline is 8+ modern cores, 64 GB RAM, and local NVMe. For archive-heavy or busier production workloads, plan around 128 GB RAM or more. Sonic explicitly recommends local NVMe or local SSD and warns that remote block storage, such as EBS, does not provide the required latency and IOPS performance.

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.
