Build faster with Ethereum RPC endpoints

Use OnFinality's Ethereum RPC APIs to connect wallets, dApps, dashboards, bots, and backend services without operating your own node from day one.

Public endpoint testing

Start with the Ethereum public RPC endpoint for lightweight checks, prototypes, and quick integration tests.

Authenticated API access

Move production traffic to authenticated endpoints when you need clearer limits, analytics, and operational visibility.

Standard RPC methods

Query Ethereum blocks, transactions, balances, events, and chain state through HTTP and WebSocket workflows.

Operate Ethereum infrastructure with more control

Production teams need more than an endpoint URL. They need observability, predictable capacity, and a path from shared RPC access to isolated infrastructure.

Request visibility

Track usage patterns and response activity so your team can understand traffic growth before it becomes an incident.

Dedicated node path

Use dedicated Ethereum nodes when your workload needs isolated resources, custom operations, or stronger capacity planning.

Archive and historical data

Plan for archive access when analytics, audits, indexers, or advanced app features need older Ethereum state.

Choose the right Ethereum RPC setup

Different Ethereum products need different infrastructure. OnFinality gives teams a practical path from public RPC testing to production-grade API and node operations.

For prototypes

Use public RPC for simple reads, connection checks, and early experiments where strict performance guarantees are not required.

For live apps

Use authenticated API endpoints when users depend on stable request handling, monitoring, and scalable access.

For heavy workloads

Use dedicated nodes for sustained traffic, latency-sensitive services, validator tooling, exchange systems, and indexing pipelines.

Never Worry about Infrastructure Again

OnFinality takes away the heavy lifting of DevOps so you can build smarter and faster.
