How our Elastic Node infrastructure is powering the next generation of Solana DApps

We go beyond static, bare-metal RPC nodes and offer a choice between two high fidelity services: *Dedicated* nodes and *Elastic* nodes. Dedicated Nodes With a dedicated node, your DApp has access to its own RPC endpoint that we deploy in a geographic region of your choice. The benefit of a

What actually is an RPC node? How infrastructure can make or break your DApp

What actually is an RPC node? How infrastructure can make or break your DApp

In order for a DApp to function, its transactions must be verified and processed by the blockchain. But, In order to be verified, the transactions must flow through the Solana validator apparatus: namely, the Proof of History (POH) and Proof of Stake (POS) mechanisms. DApps ‘call’ RPC nodes to communicate
