What Teams Build On ZetaChain Nodes

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

Omnichain dApp Backends

Power omnichain contracts that read and write across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ZetaChain from one private node. Stable EVM and Cosmos endpoints keep cross-chain calls consistent.

Cross-Chain Message Tracking

Follow inbound and outbound cross-chain messages without public limits. Dedicated resources keep observation and confirmation queries fast during heavy bridge traffic.

Indexer Backfill Runs

Backfill receipts, logs, and Cosmos events without slowing production. NVMe capacity and RAM keep long-range ingestion consistent across days at production speed.

Wallet & Explorer Serving

Serve balances, transactions, and history to wallets and explorers from a node you control. Isolated I/O keeps reads steady through usage spikes.

Exchange Deposit Tracking

Track deposits, confirmations, and receipts without shared throttling. Dedicated resources cut the timeout spikes that cause missing deposits and delayed crediting.

Multi-Region Read Layer

Deploy ZetaChain nodes close to users across regions. A primary endpoint plus regional readers smooths global read traffic without routing everything to one location.

// how it works

From ZetaChain 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 ZetaChain Node

    Choose full, archive, or validator. Tell us if you need Ethereum JSON-RPC, Cosmos REST and CometBFT RPC, or both, and the region closest to your users.

  2. 02

    We Provision Bare Metal

    Your single-tenant zetacored node deploys on local NVMe, snapshot-synced from a current archive, so you skip the long bootstrap from genesis.

  3. 03

    Get Your Private Endpoint

    Receive a dedicated EVM JSON-RPC and Cosmos REST 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 ZetaChain 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 ZetaChain 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 ZetaChain RPC node, and what does it actually do?

A ZetaChain RPC node is a server running zetacored that exposes APIs your app uses to read blockchain data and broadcast transactions. Because ZetaChain is a Cosmos-SDK Layer 1 with a Cosmos EVM, one node serves both Ethereum JSON-RPC and the Cosmos REST, CometBFT RPC, and gRPC interfaces for dApps, wallets, indexers, and dashboards.

Does ZetaChain support standard Ethereum tooling?

Yes. ZetaChain runs a Cosmos EVM, so it is EVM-compatible and works with standard Ethereum JSON-RPC tooling like ethers and web3. The mainnet chain ID is 7000 and the testnet is 7001, with ZETA as the native gas token. The same node also exposes Cosmos-native REST and CometBFT RPC for Cosmos tooling.

What makes ZetaChain omnichain?

ZetaChain is an omnichain Layer 1 with cross-chain messaging that lets smart contracts read and write across connected networks, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, without wrapped tokens. Validators run zetaclientd alongside zetacored to observe and sign cross-chain activity. A dedicated node keeps that observation and your RPC traffic on hardware that is yours alone.

Full node vs archive node: which one supports my required queries?

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. A dedicated setup lets you pick the right tier without sharing limits.

Which interfaces and ports does a ZetaChain node expose?

A ZetaChain node can serve Ethereum JSON-RPC, Cosmos REST, CometBFT (Tendermint) RPC, and gRPC. For a production setup, keep these private by default and only expose what you need behind firewall rules or IP allowlists. We scope the exact interfaces and ports with you so your dedicated node matches your actual usage.

Why choose a dedicated ZetaChain node instead of shared RPC endpoints?

Shared RPC endpoints throttle, vary in latency, and change policies without warning. A dedicated ZetaChain 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.

What causes RPC failures during traffic spikes, and how does dedicated hardware help?

Most failures trace back to storage I/O saturation, CPU contention, or too many concurrent WebSocket sessions. Dedicated hardware removes noisy-neighbor contention, and local NVMe reduces read and write stalls. That is why teams move to a dedicated ZetaChain RPC node when usage becomes production-grade.

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.
