Quickstart

Get a Solana RPC endpoint and make your first call. The whole thing takes a couple of minutes.

1. Rent a node

Head to the dashboard and pick your RPS, TPS and a region. What comes back looks like this:

http://fra.corvus-labs.io:8899

The five RPC metros are fra, ams, lon, nyc and tyo.

2. Allowlist the machine you'll call from

Standard endpoints know you by your registered public egress IP. Run this on the host that will actually make the calls:

curl -s https://api.ipify.org

Paste what it prints into the dashboard.

3. Make your first call

curl -s http://fra.corvus-labs.io:8899 \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getSlot"}'

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "result": 378291845, "id": 1 }

Corvus serves the complete Solana JSON-RPC API, so Solana's reference is the method list.

4. Point a client at it

import { Connection } from '@solana/web3.js';

const connection = new Connection('http://fra.corvus-labs.io:8899', {
  commitment: 'processed',
  wsEndpoint: 'ws://fra.corvus-labs.io:8900',
});

console.log(await connection.getSlot());

use solana_client::rpc_client::RpcClient;

let client = RpcClient::new("http://fra.corvus-labs.io:8899".to_string());
println!("{}", client.get_slot()?);

Next steps

sendTransaction works here too; it draws on TPS rather than RPS (Submit Solana transactions). Falcon covers submission over QUIC and UDP, and aRPC covers pre-execution streams. If anything blocks you, we're on Discord.
