What Is Spectrum Nodes? High Performance RPC for 200+ Chains
Updated October 22, 2026 · Spectrum Nodes
Short answer: Spectrum Nodes is a developer platform from Simply Labs that connects dApps, wallets and analytics tools to 200+ blockchains through RPC endpoints, with unified APIs and webhooks on top. It serves over a billion requests a day at 99.99% uptime, runs on its own racks and hardware instead of rented cloud, and is SOC 2 Type II attested.
An RPC (Remote Procedure Call) endpoint is the URL your app sends requests to when it reads chain data or submits a transaction. We run those endpoints, so you never run or secure your own nodes. New to RPC? Start with our beginner's guide to RPC calls.
What Does Spectrum Nodes Offer?
Spectrum Nodes gives you RPC on 200+ chains in one dashboard, plus tools that cut your backend code.
- RPC endpoints on mainnets, testnets and devnets, full or archive on select chains
- Unified API on 24 chains for balances, token metadata, portfolios and gas
- Webhooks that push signed HTTPS POSTs when a watched address moves, so you stop polling
- Spectrum CLI with 96 commands across 24 chains and JSON output for scripts and AI agents
- Real time monitoring and error handling, with configurable rate limits
- Dedicated enterprise support, with direct engineering access 24/7 via Slack
- Automated deployment and scaling within 48 hours. Robinhood Chain support went live the day after the chain launched
You create and monitor endpoints in a few clicks. Setup guides live in the Spectrum Docs.
Is Spectrum Nodes a Reliable Service?
Yes. Spectrum Nodes serves over a billion requests a day at 99.99% uptime, is SOC 2 Type II attested and has never had a breach.
| What to check | Spectrum Nodes |
|---|---|
| Uptime | 99.99% |
| Daily volume | Over 1 billion requests |
| Compliance | SOC 2 Type II attested |
| Security record | Never had a breach |
| Hardware | Own racks and hardware, not rented cloud |
| Data centers | Tier III, in the US, Europe and APAC |
Our APAC site is a full bare metal deployment in Singapore, in a rented rack inside a facility we don't own.
Why Does Bare Metal Make RPC Faster?
Bare metal means your requests run on physical servers we own, with no virtualisation layer and no other tenant on the machine. That removes shared resource contention, so response times stay steady at peak traffic.
Our Zen 5 Dell servers each have two 64 core CPUs and 2TB of RAM. They sit in Tier III data centers, a standard for facilities that can be maintained without taking service offline. The full hardware list is in Spectrum Under the Hood.
Why Does RPC Performance Matter for dApps?
Every balance check, contract call and transaction your app makes goes through an RPC endpoint. When that endpoint is slow, your app is slow.
Latency, the time between sending a request and getting the full response, matters most on fast chains like Solana and Monad. There, a few milliseconds can decide whether a trade fills or a user leaves.
What Do You Gain From a Managed RPC Provider?
A managed provider takes node operations off your team, so you spend your time on product.
- Consistent performance: dedicated infrastructure keeps latency low during surges and busy DeFi events
- Scale: start small and grow to enterprise volume on the same provider
- Lower overhead: no node fleet to buy, patch and monitor
- Support: real time monitoring and 24/7 engineering help when something looks off
Chain foundations get the same for their ecosystem. See how Spectrum scales.
