Resilient Peer-to-Peer RPC Marketplace
Direct RPC connects your app via drop-in URL to a gateway (local or managed) that routes RPC requests directly to independent, integrity-checked providers over encrypted P2P connections, and reroutes if one fails.
Consumers set a maximum price and prioritize latency or cost within it, paying per request. Providers set capacity and price, competing for traffic. More providers in more locations means more capacity, more redundancy, and more choice on speed and cost.
Follow the quickstart to set up a gateway, choose a blockchain, and connect your application. Get started quickly with a managed gateway, or run a local gateway for direct peer-to-peer access without a central gateway in the request path.
