Private ZetaChain RPC Endpoints on a Dedicated Node

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
