Compound Gateway Dedicated Nodes & RPC Infrastructure | OnFinality

Compound Gateway Dedicated Nodes & RPC Infrastructure

Compound Gateway is a Substrate-based Proof of Authority (PoA) blockchain that enables cross-chain interest rate markets. Governed by COMP token holders on Ethereum, Gateway validators observe transactions from Starports on connected blockchains and record events with probabilistic finality. This non-mainnet network is designed for testing, staging, and pre-production workflows.

What Developers Use Compound Gateway RPC For

Developers interact with Compound Gateway via JSON-RPC endpoints to:

• Test cross-chain interest rate market logic
• Validate wallet integrations and contract interactions
• Run staging and QA environments
• Perform release testing before mainnet deployment
• Monitor node performance and transaction flow

Dedicated Node Infrastructure on OnFinality

OnFinality provides dedicated node hosting for Compound Gateway, offering full nodes, archive nodes, and validator nodes. Each dedicated node comes with:

• Managed or self-service options: Choose fully managed operations with monitoring and upgrades, or deploy and control your own node.
• Global infrastructure: Nodes are deployed across multiple clouds and regions for reliability.
• Metrics and monitoring: Track request usage, errors, and performance.
• Enterprise add-ons: Node clusters for high availability, priority support SLAs, and fallback to shared RPC endpoints.

Connecting to Compound Gateway

To connect, create an OnFinality account, select Compound Gateway from the supported networks, and deploy a dedicated node. Test your endpoint with chain_getBlock and monitor usage before moving critical traffic. Compound Gateway uses Substrate JSON-RPC over HTTP and WebSocket transports.

When to Use Dedicated Nodes vs Public RPC

Dedicated nodes are ideal for teams needing stable access, clear usage limits, request analytics, and backend reliability. Public RPC may suffice for lightweight testing, but dedicated nodes provide the control and performance required for staging and pre-production.

Key Facts

• Network environment: Non-mainnet (testnet/staging)
• Protocol: Substrate JSON-RPC
• Transports: HTTP, WebSocket
• Node types: Full, Archive, Validator
• Common users: Contract testing, QA, staging releases, wallet integration, backend validation

Getting Started

1. Sign in to OnFinality
2. Choose Compound Gateway
3. Deploy a dedicated node (full, archive, or validator)
4. Test with chain_getBlock
5. Monitor usage and scale as needed

For production workloads, use the corresponding mainnet RPC endpoint when ready for live users.
