Solana RPC endpointsfor development and production

A Solana RPC endpoint is the URL your application uses to read blockchain data and submit transactions. Chainstack provides HTTPS endpoints for JSON-RPC requests and WebSocket endpoints for subscriptions, supporting applications such as wallets, trading bots, DeFi platforms, and analytics tools.

Create a free Chainstack account, create a project, and deploy a Solana Global Node on mainnet or devnet. Open the node’s Access and credentials section and copy its HTTPS or WebSocket endpoint. Add that URL to your application’s Solana SDK or RPC client.

Yes. The Chainstack Developer plan includes 3 million request units per month, one node, and WebSocket access, with no credit card required. The Developer plan includes an overall limit of 25 requests per second. Per-method limits also apply. Paid plans provide higher capacity and additional features.

Yes. Chainstack provides Solana RPC endpoints for both mainnet and devnet. Use devnet to develop and test with test tokens, and mainnet for applications interacting with real assets. Deploy the network you need and use its corresponding endpoint in your application.

Chainstack Global Nodes provide a single, geo-balanced Solana RPC endpoint with automatic routing to an available region near your application. Dedicated Nodes run on isolated infrastructure reserved for your workload. Choose Global Nodes for managed, distributed RPC access or Dedicated Nodes when your application needs isolated compute and storage.

WebSockets deliver subscription notifications through the standard Solana RPC interface. The Yellowstone gRPC Geyser plugin streams transactions, account updates, blocks, and slot changes using gRPC and Protocol Buffers. Chainstack provides WebSocket access on all plans; Yellowstone gRPC is a separate paid add-on for Solana mainnet, available from the Growth plan.

Yes. Chainstack Solana archive RPC provides historical blocks, transactions, and address signatures for analytics, wallet history, and backtesting. Use methods such as getBlock, getTransaction, and getSignaturesForAddress through your endpoint. Archive access is available from the Growth plan, with usage billed according to the applicable request-unit rules.

Yes. The Chainstack Unlimited Node add-on provides unlimited RPC requests within your selected requests-per-second tier for a fixed monthly add-on fee. It is available from the Growth plan and is suited to sustained workloads such as pool monitoring, indexing, and trading applications. Your subscription plan and other add-ons are billed separately.

Chainstack supports transaction simulation and submission through Solana RPC. The Warp transactions add-on routes sendTransaction calls through bloXroute for faster transaction propagation, while other RPC calls continue through Chainstack. Warp transactions is available on paid plans and is billed separately per transaction. Transaction inclusion also depends on network conditions and transaction configuration.

Yes. Chainstack Self-Hosted lets you deploy and manage Solana mainnet and devnet nodes on your own servers or cloud infrastructure. It provides a web interface for node operations, monitoring, and configuration. The software is free to install; you supply and pay for the underlying infrastructure.

Open the Chainstack Solana devnet faucet, enter your wallet address and Chainstack API key, and submit a claim. The faucet tops eligible wallets up to 1 devnet SOL every 24 hours. Use devnet SOL to pay transaction fees, deploy programs, and test token transfers through your Solana devnet RPC endpoint. Wallet eligibility requirements are listed on the faucet page. Devnet SOL is separate from mainnet SOL.
