Litmus Dedicated Node Infrastructure | OnFinality

What is Litmus?

Litmus is a companion canary network to Litentry on the Kusama network. It serves as a testing ground for new features and upgrades before they are deployed to the Litentry mainnet. As a canary network, Litmus provides a real economic environment where developers and validators can experiment with identity aggregation and decentralized identity (DID) solutions in a live, value-bearing context.

Why Run a Litmus Dedicated Node?

Developers building on Litmus need reliable access to the network for reading on-chain data and submitting transactions. While public RPC endpoints exist, they often come with rate limits, variable uptime, and no guarantees for production workloads. A dedicated node gives you:

• Exclusive access: No sharing of node resources with other users.
• Stable performance: Consistent throughput and low latency for your dApps.
• Full control: Customize node configuration, prune or archive settings, and upgrade on your schedule.
• Enhanced security: Isolated infrastructure reduces attack surface.

How OnFinality Supports Litmus

OnFinality provides managed dedicated node infrastructure for Litmus. When you deploy a dedicated node through OnFinality, you get:

• Automated deployment: Spin up a Litmus node in minutes without manual setup.
• 24/7 monitoring: Real-time health checks, alerts, and dashboards.
• Auto-recovery: Nodes automatically restart on failure to minimize downtime.
• Scalable resources: Choose from various instance sizes to match your traffic.
• Multi-region availability: Deploy nodes in data centers close to your users.

Use Cases for Litmus Dedicated Nodes
