Phala RPC & Dedicated Nodes | OnFinality

Phala Network is a Polkadot parachain that brings confidential smart contracts to Web3 using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Its unique architecture combines a public blockchain with secure enclaves, enabling trustless, private, and scalable computation. Developers building on Phala need reliable RPC endpoints and node infrastructure to interact with the network, deploy Phat Contracts, and run collators.

What is Phala Network?

Phala Network aims to become the world's largest P2P computing cloud. By leveraging TEE technology embedded in modern processors, Phala ensures that data remains private and computation is verifiable. The network uses a "sharing economy" model where anyone can contribute computing power and earn rewards. This makes Phala a foundational layer for privacy-preserving dApps, DeFi, and AI services.

Why Use Phala RPC?

An RPC endpoint is the gateway to the Phala blockchain. Applications use it to read on-chain data, submit transactions, and interact with smart contracts. Whether you're building a wallet, a DeFi protocol, or an analytics tool, a stable and performant RPC connection is critical. Phala supports the Substrate JSON-RPC protocol over HTTP and WebSocket, and also offers a custom pRPC for TEE-related operations.

OnFinality Phala Dedicated Nodes

OnFinality provides managed dedicated node infrastructure for Phala. With a dedicated node, you get:

• Full control over the node configuration and resources.
• High availability with monitoring and automated failover.
• Archive and trace access for historical data and debugging.
• Dedicated throughput without rate limits from shared endpoints.

Our infrastructure is designed for production workloads, including parachain apps, collators, and backend services. You can deploy a Phala dedicated node in minutes through the OnFinality platform.

Key Considerations for Phala Node Deployment

When choosing a Phala node provider, consider:

• Network type: Mainnet vs. testnet (Khala).
• Data retention: Full, archive, or pruned.
• Transport: HTTP and WebSocket support.
• Geographic regions: Proximity to your user base.
• Monitoring and analytics: Request volume, error rates, and latency.

OnFinality offers transparent analytics and scaling options, so you can start small and grow as your application demands.

How to Connect to Phala with OnFinality

1. Create or sign in to your OnFinality account.
2. Select Phala from the supported networks list.
3. Deploy a dedicated node or create an API endpoint (if available).
4. Test the endpoint using chain_getBlock or similar methods.
5. Monitor usage and adjust capacity as needed.

For teams requiring stable, private access beyond public RPC, OnFinality's dedicated nodes are the ideal solution.
