Stardust RPC Services

Reliable, high-performance blockchain access by Stardust Staking

Overview

At Stardust Staking, we believe that reliable infrastructure is the foundation of every great blockchain project. Our RPC services deliver fast, scalable, and secure connectivity to leading blockchain networks, enabling builders, validators, and data providers to interact with the blockchains seamlessly.

Our infrastructure powers validators, explorers, and dApps across multiple ecosystems — all backed by enterprise-grade uptime and self-hosted, transparent operations.

Supported Networks

  • NEAR Mainnet Permissioned RPC (by invitation)
  • ZCASH (Zodl) Public RPC Available
  • Solana Private RPC (by invitation, currently in testing)

More networks coming soon… Stay tuned

All RPC clusters are monitored 24/7 with real-time metrics, redundancy, and low latency routing through our global server network.

Why Choose Stardust RPC?

  1. High Performance & Low Latency

Bare-metal infrastructure with optimised networking delivers sub-second response times and consistent access at peak load.

  1. Enterprise Reliability

Redundant architecture, continuous monitoring, and automated failover deliver high uptime and fault tolerance.

  1. Multi-Chain Expertise

We operate validators across NEAR, Sui, Solana, Monad, Waterfall, Oasis, Walrus, etc, giving us hands-on experience in protocol performance, upgrade cycles, and network-level tuning.

  1. Custom Integrations

From load-balanced endpoints to private clusters, we build custom RPC setups for enterprise and research partners.

  1. Self-hosted & Transparent

Direct access to self-hosted infrastructure — no opaque proxying or third-party intermediaries. You connect directly to nodes operated by Stardust Staking on the public, decentralised networks they serve.

Stardust Staking is a non-custodial validator infrastructure provider. We do not custody crypto-assets, sign transactions, or transfer funds on behalf of users. For our site-wide regulatory and risk statements, including positioning under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA), see our Legal & Disclaimer page. For information on what request metadata we log when you use these RPC endpoints, see our Privacy Policy.

Stardust Staking provides public RPC endpoints strictly on an as-is and as-available basis. These endpoints are intended primarily for read-only access to blockchain data. While users may submit their own transactions through the RPC, Stardust Staking does not modify, intercept, or validate the intent of any user-submitted operations.

By using these services, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • The RPC infrastructure is read-only by design and does not offer custody, signing, or transaction-verification services.
  • All data accessed via the RPC is provided without guarantees regarding accuracy, completeness, or timeliness.
  • Stardust Staking assumes no responsibility for transaction failures, network conditions, downtime, rate limits, data issues, or any financial or operational losses arising from the use of the service.
  • Usage of the RPC endpoints is entirely at your own risk, and no warranties - express or implied - are provided.

Stardust Staking accepts no liability, direct or indirect, for any damages, losses, or consequences resulting from reliance on these public RPC services.

Privacy-preserving networks (Zcash / Zodl)

Our Zcash endpoint is a self-hosted lightwalletd relay used by light wallets such as Zodl (formerly Zashi). It is non-custodial infrastructure: wallets build and sign transactions on the user’s own device, and our server only serves block data and relays already-signed transactions to the Zcash network. We never hold private keys or funds, and we cannot read the contents — amounts, recipients, or memos — of shielded (z-address) transactions. The nginx proxy in front of this endpoint runs with access logging disabled, so we do not record client IP addresses or per-request metadata; we keep only aggregate operational metrics that are not linked to any address or identity. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Operating this relay is not a regulated crypto-asset service. Stardust Staking is not a Crypto-Asset Service Provider under Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 (MiCA) — nodes and validators that merely confirm or propagate transactions, and providers of non-custodial wallet software, fall outside MiCA’s crypto-asset service definitions (Recitals 83 and 93). For the same reason, the anonymous-account prohibition for obliged entities in the Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (EU) 2024/1624 (Article 79, with the non-custodial carve-out in Recital 160) and the Transfer of Funds Regulation (EU) 2023/1113 do not apply to this non-custodial relay. Our full regulatory positioning is set out on our Legal & Disclaimer page.

You are solely responsible for your own use of Zcash and for your compliance with the laws and reporting obligations that apply to you. Stardust Staking provides this endpoint strictly on an as-is and as-available basis, exercises no control over the transactions users construct and broadcast, and accepts no liability, direct or indirect, for any use of the service or of the Zcash network.
