Quartz Dedicated Node Infrastructure | OnFinality

Quartz Dedicated Node Infrastructure

Quartz is the canary network of Unique Network, providing a sandbox for NFT innovation on Polkadot. As a non-mainnet environment, Quartz is designed for testing, staging, and pre-production validation. OnFinality offers dedicated node infrastructure for Quartz, giving development teams a stable, monitored environment to build and test NFT applications without worrying about node operations.

Why Use Quartz?

Quartz delivers the full suite of Unique Network's NFT tools in a test-friendly setting. Developers can experiment with advanced NFT features—such as nesting, bundling, and sponsored transactions—before deploying to mainnet. The network uses Substrate JSON-RPC and supports HTTP and WebSocket transports, making it compatible with standard Web3 libraries.

Quartz Dedicated Nodes on OnFinality

OnFinality provides managed dedicated nodes for Quartz, ideal for teams that need consistent performance, request analytics, and operational support. With a dedicated node, you get:

• Reliable throughput for contract testing, QA, and staging releases.
• Archive and trace access for deep historical data queries.
• Private endpoint with no rate limiting from shared infrastructure.
• Monitoring and alerts to track node health and usage.

When to Use a Dedicated Node vs. Public RPC

Public RPC endpoints are suitable for lightweight testing and quick prototyping. However, for serious development workflows—such as wallet integration testing, backend validation, or load testing—a dedicated node offers the stability and control your team needs. OnFinality's dedicated nodes give you a private, authenticated endpoint with clear usage limits and support.

How to Get Started

1. Create or sign in to your OnFinality account.
2. Select Quartz from the supported networks list.
3. Deploy a dedicated node (or create an API endpoint if available).
4. Test your connection using the example method chain_getBlock.
5. Monitor request usage, errors, and limits before moving critical traffic.

Key Considerations

• Quartz is a non-mainnet network; production applications should use Unique Network mainnet.
• Dedicated nodes are billed based on plan and configuration.
• Archive and trace availability depends on your plan and network configuration.

Conclusion

Quartz on OnFinality provides a robust infrastructure for NFT development and testing. Whether you're building a marketplace, integrating wallets, or validating smart contracts, our dedicated nodes give you the reliability and support to move faster.
