Overview
Dedicated nodes are the simplest way to get high-performance RPC access to the Solana network. Dedicated nodes verify all new incoming transactions independently.
Nodes have a flat subscription pricing model with no pay-per-use or rate-limiting. Please note that upgrades incur an expected downtime of ~15 minutes.
Interfaces
A dedicated node serves Solana JSON-RPC and Pub/Sub via HTTPS. Unencrypted HTTP connections are not supported.
