Frequently Asked Questions

What is Solana?

Solana is a high-throughput L1 that uses a proof-of-history clock plus proof-of-stake to push block times down to ~400 ms and fees to fractions of a cent. It targets order-book trading, real-time gaming, and other latency-sensitive use cases.

How to get Solana RPC endpoint?

Sign up for a free Chainstack account and open your project dashboard. In the dashboard, choose Add node, select Solana, and provision either a dedicated node or an elastic cluster. After the node syncs, open Access & credentials and grab the RPC URL for immediate integration.

How to run a Solana node?

Launch a Global Node on Chainstack to join Solana’s cluster without touching bare metal. For fixed CPU and RAM allocations, choose a Dedicated Node and let Chainstack handle validator updates. Doing it yourself is a long haul of hardware GPUs, turbine-level cooling, and manual catch-up scripts.

What is Solana RPC API?

Solana’s RPC API is a JSON-over-HTTP and WebSocket interface that wraps validator internals. End-points like getAccountInfo, getRecentBlockhash, and sendTransaction deliver sub-second access to the cluster. Binary data are base-64–encoded, so SDKs (e.g., @solana/web3.js) handle packing for you.

How much does it cost to run a Solana RPC?

Costs swing with workload: a validator-grade Solana RPC may need 128 GB RAM, high-end GPUs, and huge IO—easily US $400-800 / month in the cloud. Lighter “getAccountInfo” workloads are cheaper but still storage-intensive. For most teams, the cheapest approach is to consume Solana endpoints from an RPC provider like Chainstack instead of renting monster hardware.

Is Solana RPC free?

Solana runs public “api.mainnet-beta.solana.com” clusters you can hit for zero cost, yet congestion and dropped connections are common. A no-cost Chainstack plan still covers 3 million calls monthly and adds load-balanced stability.

How to setup a Solana RPC?

Grab the Solana endpoint from the Chainstack Console dashboard. Add it to Phantom (Settings → Change Network → Custom) or set connection = Connection(<URL>) in your TypeScript to route calls through Chainstack.

Notes for Solana RPC API

Spin up a reliable Solana node in seconds and leverage lightning‑fast Solana RPC endpoint through Chainstack’s managed geo-balanced nodes and enterprise‑grade infrastructure. Our API fully implements the JSON‑RPC specification, so every Solana Web3 call works seamlessly. Build on reliable infrastructure backed by a comprehensive developer API to scale production dApps without the DevOps overhead.

Deploy a Dedicated or Trader Solana node in the US region, Europe region, or Asia region for the lowest possible latency.
