krest RPC Endpoints & Dedicated Nodes | OnFinality

krest is peaq’s canary network on Kusama and the world's first simulation network for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) and the Economy of Things. It provides a live environment where developers can launch dApps and DePINs, assess socio-economic and technical impact, and experiment with governance and community innovation—without risking real-world assets.

Why krest RPC?

To interact with the krest blockchain, applications need a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) endpoint. Whether you're building a wallet, a DeFi product, an analytics dashboard, a game, a bot, or a backend service, a reliable RPC endpoint is essential for reading on-chain data and submitting transactions.

OnFinality krest RPC Endpoints

OnFinality offers managed krest RPC endpoints that provide authenticated access with clearer usage limits and request analytics. Our infrastructure supports Substrate JSON-RPC over HTTP and WebSocket transports, and includes archive and trace capabilities where available. This makes it suitable for production workloads that require stable, observable, and scalable connectivity.

Dedicated krest Nodes

For teams that need full control, OnFinality also provides dedicated krest nodes. Deploy full, collator, or archive nodes on our globally distributed, multi-cloud platform. Each node is fully managed with monitoring, upgrades, and support, or you can opt for a self-service deployment for maximum flexibility. Dedicated nodes are ideal for collators, high-throughput applications, or any scenario requiring dedicated resources.

Key Considerations

• Network environment: mainnet
• RPC protocol: Substrate JSON-RPC
• Transport: HTTP and WebSocket
• Advanced access: archive and trace (plan-dependent)
• Common use cases: production dApps, wallets, DeFi, analytics, games, bots, backend services
• Regions: N.Virginia, Hong Kong

Getting Started

1. Create or sign in to your OnFinality account.
2. Select krest from the supported networks list.
3. Create an API endpoint or deploy a dedicated node.
4. Test your endpoint with a method like chain_getBlock.
5. Monitor request usage, errors, and limits before moving critical traffic.

OnFinality provides the infrastructure you need to build and scale on krest with confidence.
