RPCForge lets you host and control your own multi-chain Ethereum RPC
TL;DR
RPCForge launches multi-chain Ethereum RPC infrastructure users own and control.
What changed
RPCForge launched as a self-hosted multi-chain Ethereum RPC provider. Users now run their own RPC nodes supporting multiple chains without third-party dependencies. This shifts control from centralized services to personal infrastructure.
Why it matters
Developers building dApps avoid outages like Infura's November 2020 incident that took down Uniswap and 20 other protocols for hours. Self-hosting cuts costs versus Alchemy's $49 monthly plan for 10 million compute units. Vibe Builders gain reliable endpoints for real-time chain data in apps.
What to watch for
Compare RPCForge uptime against Infura public endpoints during peak Ethereum traffic. Verify performance by deploying via Docker on a VPS and timing 1,000 consecutive block queries. Monitor chain sync times on testnet versus QuickNode alternatives.
Who this matters for
- Vibe Builders: Use self-hosted endpoints to ensure your front-end dashboards never freeze during network congestion.
- Developers: Deploy RPCForge on your own infrastructure to eliminate monthly subscription fees and third-party downtime risks.
Harsh’s take
RPCForge addresses the fundamental fragility of the current web3 stack. Relying on centralized RPC providers like Infura or Alchemy creates a single point of failure that developers ignore until their dApps go dark. By moving to self-hosted infrastructure, teams reclaim control over their uptime and stop bleeding cash on tiered pricing plans that punish scaling.
However, self-hosting is not a free lunch. It demands operational overhead that many teams lack the talent to manage. If you cannot maintain a Linux server or troubleshoot node synchronization issues, you will trade one set of problems for another.
This tool is for teams that prioritize sovereignty over convenience. If your infrastructure budget is bloated and your uptime is inconsistent, this is the logical path forward.
