Shiden RPC Endpoint and API
Shiden Network is a multi-chain decentralized application layer on Kusama Network, supporting Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), WebAssembly (Wasm), and Layer 2 solutions. It enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and other dApps on Kusama.

Build faster with Shiden RPC endpoints
Use OnFinality's Shiden 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 Shiden 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 Shiden blocks, transactions, balances, events, and chain state through HTTP and WebSocket workflows.
Operate Shiden 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 Shiden 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 Shiden state.
Choose the right Shiden RPC setup
Different Shiden 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.
