What You Get
We handle the Polkadot infrastructure. You get a synced node and an RPC Endpoint.
Nodes engineered specifically for Polkadot's relay chain execution demands — consistent performance across relay chains, parachains, and connected ecosystems.
High-availability nodes designed for staking participation, session stability, and slashing risk reduction.
Infrastructure handles relay chain coordination, parachain validation, and cross-chain messaging without performance tradeoffs.
Protocol compatibility maintained automatically with minimal manual work. Proactive anomaly alerts before issues escalate.
DDoS protection, encrypted RPC channels, access-controlled operations, and network-level isolation safeguard every node.
Reliable RPC and WebSocket access for building, testing, and scaling Polkadot-based applications — managed via unified control panel.
Node types
Shared for testing and small workloads. Dedicated for production. Archive for indexers and historical reads.
| Type | Throughput | Storage | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared RPC | Up to 25 RPS | Recent state | From free |
| Dedicated full | 200+ RPS | Full state | From $399/mo |
| Dedicated archive | 200+ RPS | Full + archive | From $1,199/mo |
| Enterprise | Custom | Custom config | Contact sales |
Latency
Latency to Polkadot dedicated nodes from our edge PoPs. Measured against a representative read workload (eth_blockNumber-equivalent).
| Region | Latency (p50 / p99) |
|---|---|
| us-east | ~18ms p50 / ~42ms p99 |
| us-west | ~22ms p50 / ~48ms p99 |
| eu-west | ~24ms p50 / ~52ms p99 |
| ap-southeast | ~28ms p50 / ~62ms p99 |
Use cases
Real workloads our Polkadot customers run.
DeFi
Low-latency RPC for AMMs, lending markets, and perps building on Polkadot.
Wallets
Reliable balance queries, transaction history, and broadcast for Polkadot wallets at scale.
Indexers
Archive node access with trace and debug methods for indexers and analytics platforms.
Gaming & NFT
Burst-friendly endpoints for mint windows, in-game economies, and high-volume consumer workloads.
Why Instanodes
Running Polkadot nodes yourself means buying hardware, staffing on-call, and patching every protocol upgrade. We do all of that. You get a synced node and an RPC Endpoint.
Talk to usFAQs
Shared and dedicated RPC Endpoints, full nodes, and archive nodes (where the protocol supports them). Available on mainnet and testnet for Polkadot. Dedicated tiers come with no shared neighbors and predictable throughput.
