Subsocial is the social layer of the next-generation internet, enabling developers to integrate user-friendly Web3 social features into existing applications or build entirely new socially-powered dApps from scratch. As a Polkadot parachain, Subsocial leverages Substrate's flexibility to offer a decentralized social network where users own their content and identity.
Why Run a Subsocial Node?
Running a Subsocial node gives you direct access to the blockchain for reading data, submitting transactions, and powering backend services. Whether you're building a social dApp, a content platform, or an indexing service, a dedicated node provides the reliability and performance needed for production workloads.
Subsocial RPC and Dedicated Nodes on OnFinality
OnFinality offers dedicated node infrastructure for Subsocial, allowing you to deploy full, archive, or collator nodes with ease. Our globally distributed, multi-cloud platform ensures low-latency access and high availability. With dedicated nodes, you get:
- Full control over node configuration and resources.
- Managed operations with monitoring, upgrades, and support.
- Enterprise-grade services like node clusters, higher SLAs, and fallback to shared RPC.
Dedicated nodes are ideal for teams that need consistent performance, clear usage limits, and the ability to scale with demand. They are particularly suited for production dApps, wallets, DeFi products, analytics tools, games, bots, and backend services.
How to Connect to Subsocial via OnFinality
- Create or sign in to your OnFinality account.
- Select Subsocial from the supported networks list.
- Deploy a dedicated node or create an API endpoint (if available).
- Test the endpoint using the example method
chain_getBlock.
- Monitor request usage, errors, and limits before moving critical traffic.
