Everything included with Polkadot nodes
We handle the Polkadot infrastructure. You get a synced node and an RPC Endpoint.
Relay Chain Optimization
Nodes engineered specifically for Polkadot's relay chain execution demands. Consistent performance across relay chains, parachains, and connected ecosystems.
Validator High-Availability
High-availability nodes designed for staking participation, session stability, and slashing risk reduction.
Parachain & XCM Support
Infrastructure handles relay chain coordination, parachain validation, and cross-chain messaging without performance tradeoffs.
Automated Protocol Updates
Protocol compatibility maintained automatically with minimal manual work. Proactive anomaly alerts before issues escalate.
Network-Level Security
DDoS protection, encrypted RPC channels, access-controlled operations, and network-level isolation safeguard every node.
Developer & Validator Access
Reliable RPC and WebSocket access for building, testing, and scaling Polkadot-based applications. Managed via unified control panel.

Global regional performance
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 |

Polkadot FAQs
Need something specific? Talk to an engineer.
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.
p99 under 100ms globally and p50 under 30ms in-region. We have edge PoPs across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Requests route to the nearest healthy node automatically.
We track every release announcement, test against client release candidates ahead of upgrade blocks, and apply binary updates during scheduled maintenance windows. Your RPC Endpoint stays live through the upgrade.
Yes, on every chain that exposes WebSocket support. Standard subscription topics (new blocks, transactions, logs) are available on shared and dedicated tiers with configurable concurrent-connection limits per API key.
Yes. The Free tier covers 600K requests/month across all 50+ Instanodes-supported chains, including Polkadot. Paid plans start at $29/month for higher throughput and dedicated capacity options.
If Polkadot is a proof-of-stake network, yes. See our Validator Nodes service. Strictly non-custodial: signing keys remain in your HSM or remote signer, Instanodes never holds key material. Slashing protection included where applicable. Contact us for the specific staking model on Polkadot.
