Luganodes RPC: The Nodes Behind $2B+ in Stake, Now Open to All

Luganodes RPC is live today on Ethereum, Bitcoin and Tron mainnets. The same bare-metal nodes that serve our institutional clients are now available to everyone. Create an account at rpc.luganodes.com and send your first request in under a minute. No sales call, no card required.

Why we're opening Luganodes RPC to everyone

We've spent years running blockchain infrastructure for institutions, with 60+ clients across 40+ networks and $2B+ in staked assets. All of it runs on bare-metal servers we own and operate, with round-the-clock monitoring.

Builders and institutions have a common requirement: nodes that are correct on every block, with accountability from the provider. As a staking provider, we've met that requirement for years, in a business where every missed block has consequences. So we built Luganodes RPC to the same standard, by the same team. Be it your first project on the Free plan or a dedicated deployment, the service is the same.

What you get on day one

Endpoints for Ethereum, Bitcoin and Tron mainnets are ready when you sign up. One API key works across all three.

curl https://ethereum-mainnet.rpc.luganodes.com/v1/<API_KEY> \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_blockNumber","params":[],"id":1}'

Swap ethereum for bitcoin or tron in the URL and the same key works. With ethers, viem or web3.js, the only change is the URL. Growth and Pro plans also include Ethereum consensus-layer (Beacon) endpoints.

Built for production

Every request is visible in one dashboard:

• Analytics: Volume, latency and errors by chain, key and method, with historical data.
• AI insights: On-demand summaries of what changed in your traffic, spend and errors.
• Alerts: Latency, error rate, CU usage and overage alerts, sent to whoever you choose.
• Request logs: A searchable record of every request, for tracing and debugging.

Built-in security:

• Key rotation: Rotate a key and the old one is revoked within seconds.
• Allowlists: Domains for browser apps, IP addresses for backends.
• Method and rate controls: Choose methods to allowlist and set a per-key CU and RPS cap.

Luganodes is SOC 2 Type II attested and ISO 27001 certified.

Know your costs upfront

Every method has a published cost in compute units (CUs), so you can price a workload before you send a request. The full table is in the docs.

The Free plan includes 25M CUs a month, no card required. If you hit the cap, traffic pauses instead of charging you. Paid plans start at $49 a month. See the pricing page for details.

Launch offer: sign up by 20 October 2026 and get 100M CUs for your first month, 4x the Free plan. All other Free plan limits stay the same.

For institutions

Every plan above runs on shared infrastructure. For high-scale applications, we also offer a dedicated deployment.

It includes single-tenant bare metal, full and archive nodes, and networks beyond Ethereum, Bitcoin and Tron. You also get custom rate limits and a named account manager.
