Question 1

What is a TON testnet RPC and how do you use it?

Accepted Answer

A TON testnet RPC endpoint lets you interact with the TON testnet, a sandbox environment for building and testing dApps, wallets, and smart contracts without risking real TON. This article explains the available endpoints, how to authenticate, and how to choose a reliable provider for your development workflow.

Question 2

What is an Avalanche archive node and when should you use one?

Accepted Answer

An Avalanche archive node stores the complete historical state of the C-Chain, X-Chain, and P-Chain, enabling queries that pruned nodes cannot answer. This article explains the differences between archive, pruned, and state-synced nodes, and helps you decide whether to run one yourself or use a managed RPC provider.

Question 3

Dedicated Solana RPC Nodes: Shared vs Private Infrastructure

Accepted Answer

A dedicated Solana RPC node is a single-tenant Solana RPC endpoint reserved for your application or team. It runs the same Solana client software as a shared node, but with isolated CPU, memory, storage, and network capacity. Shared RPC—whether a public endpoint or a managed multi-tenant service—is usually faster to adopt and cheaper to operate, but it can be affected by other users' traffic and rate limits. Dedicated infrastructure gives you predictable capacity, custom node configuration, and stronger isolation for latency-sensitive or high-volume workloads. It also costs more and adds operational responsibility unless you use a managed service. Choose shared first for prototypes, staging, and moderate production traffic. Move to dedicated when you see sustained rate limiting, need consistent latency for trading or real-time indexing, require custom streaming or node configuration, or want architectural separation between critical and non-critical workloads. Use the checklist and comparison table in this guide to evaluate costs, capacity, and workload fit before committing.

Question 4

What Is Asset Hub and How Do You Connect to It?

Accepted Answer

Asset Hub is a system parachain on Polkadot and Kusama that hosts fungible tokens, NFTs, and other digital assets. It provides a dedicated environment for creating, managing, and transferring assets with low fees and high throughput. This article explains what Asset Hub is, how to connect your dApp to it, and how to choose the right RPC endpoint for your use case.

Question 5

SORA Blockchain and SORA Network: What Should Developers Know?

Accepted Answer

SORA is a Substrate-based blockchain network designed for a sovereign economic system, using the XOR token and a token bonding curve. It powers Polkaswap and supports democratic governance and cross-chain interoperability. This article explains what SORA is, how to connect to it via RPC, and what to consider when choosing infrastructure for production applications.

Question 6

Sonic RPC: Chain Settings, Endpoints, and Provider Selection

Accepted Answer

Sonic is a high-performance EVM Layer-1 blockchain with sub-second finality. This article covers Sonic mainnet and testnet chain settings, public and provider RPC endpoints, and how to choose a reliable RPC provider for production apps.

Question 7

What Is RWA Node Infrastructure and How Should You Build It?

Accepted Answer

RWA node infrastructure is the blockchain and data layer that supports tokenized real-world assets, including RPC endpoints, indexers, and node operations. This article explains the core components, how to evaluate infrastructure providers, and how to design a resilient stack for production RWA applications.

Question 8

Dedicated BNB Nodes: Shared vs Private BSC Infrastructure

Accepted Answer

Dedicated BNB nodes are single-tenant BNB Smart Chain (BSC) infrastructure that gives your application exclusive access to compute, memory, storage, and bandwidth, instead of competing with other users on a shared RPC endpoint. They matter when you need predictable capacity for production workloads like trading bots, indexers, wallets, or DeFi frontends, or when you require archive state, custom configuration, trace/debug methods, or backend privacy. Shared endpoints are cost-effective for prototyping and bursty development traffic, but can introduce noisy-neighbor risk, rate limits, and variable latency. A dedicated BNB node isolates your workload, removes shared throttling, and lets you tune node flags, retention, and access controls. You should consider upgrading when sustained request volume consistently approaches shared limits, when your queries need historical state at specific blocks, or when you cannot tolerate latency spikes during BSC network activity. Before committing, benchmark your current RPC demand, verify WebSocket stability, archive support, monitoring, and failover options, and compare managed clusters with self-operated builds.

Question 9

Base RPC URL, Chain ID & Public Endpoint Setup

Accepted Answer

Base mainnet uses chain ID 8453 (0x2105) and the OnFinality public RPC endpoint https://base.api.onfinality.io/public. Use this URL for read-only testing, wallet setup, and initial dApp connections. For production traffic, authenticate with an OnFinality endpoint from the Base Hub and verify archive or Trace availability for your plan. Configure wallets with the Base explorer https://basescan.org and network name Base Mainnet. Example curl, ethers, and viem snippets are provided below, including wallet settings and code examples. Public endpoints are convenient but may be rate-limited and are not a substitute for a production RPC plan. Start with the public endpoint to validate your application flow, then move to a dedicated or authenticated endpoint before handling real users. For testnet work, use Base Sepolia chain ID 84532 and the endpoint https://base-sepolia.api.onfinality.io/public; testnet explorer is https://sepolia.basescan.org. See /networks/base for full Base network details and /rpc-assistant/rpc-providers-supporting-base-rpc for a provider comparison workflow.

Question 10

How do you check Optimism uptime and what does it mean for your dApp?

Accepted Answer

Optimism uptime refers to the availability of the OP Mainnet network and its core services, such as the public API, deposits, withdrawals, and transaction sequencing. While the official Optimism status page provides a high-level view, RPC endpoint reliability is what directly affects your dApp's performance. This article explains how to monitor Optimism uptime, what to look for in RPC providers, and how to build resilience into your application.

Question 11

Mantle RPC: Chain Settings, Endpoints, and How to Choose a Provider

Accepted Answer

Mantle is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 rollup that uses a modular architecture with Ethereum for security and its own data availability layer. To connect wallets and dApps, you need the correct Mantle RPC endpoint, chain ID, and network settings. This page covers the essential chain settings, public and private endpoint options, and how to evaluate RPC providers for production workloads.
