Prerequisites

  • You have submitted an application for dedicated node services by chain and have completed offline communication to confirm.
  • You have signed the relevant agreements in the console and completed the payment process for customized services.

Solana RPC Node

After the platform deploys the Solana RPC Node for you, you need to log in to the ZAN Node Service Console to configure the Source IP for your Solana RPC Node in order to obtain whitelist access to the Solana blockchain.

The Solana RPC Node supports the following three invocation methods:

  • HTTP
    HTTP is a simple and commonly used request method, suitable for traditional web applications.
  • WS/WSS
    WS/WSS is a real-time communication protocol based on WebSocket, allowing clients to maintain a long connection with the server to subscribe to events or receive real-time data updates.
  • gRPC
    gRPC is a high-performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework, particularly suitable for complex and efficient data exchange.

Follow the steps below to swiftly get started with your first transaction on the Solana RPC Node.

  1. Log in to the ZAN Node Service Console and click on Dedicated Node in the left navigation bar.
  2. Under the Solana RPC Node tab, locate your target node and click on its Source IP.
  3. In the side drawer that appears, click the Add button to insert a new line of Source IP configuration.

    📘

    Note:

    Each Solana RPC Node can be configured with up to 10 Source IPs.

  4. After configuration, click the Save button at the bottom right to save your settings.

    📘

    Note:

    Only IP addresses that are correctly configured can successfully call the interfaces provided by the Solana mainnet.

  5. Select a calling option, such as HTTP, WS, or gRPC, then click the copy icon next to the corresponding URL to copy it instantly.

    In case of node reboot or failure, click the expand icon next to Backup Endpoint, select and copy the URL under the target calling option to use the Backup Endpoint for emergency calls.


    📘

    Note:

    The backup node is only recommended for emergency use due to its many usage restrictions. Additionally, backup nodes support calls only via HTTPS and WSS protocols.

  6. In your local application, use the configured Source IPs to call through the interfaces provided by the Solana mainnet.
  7. After a successful call, you can go to the details page of the Solana RPC Node to monitor the node's resource usage and traffic usage. We also support setting alarm notifications for key metrics, for more details, see Monitoring > Solana RPC Node.

Create and Bind API Key

Customers who have availed themselves of customized node services can create a maximum of 10 API keys on the Dedicated Node page.

  1. Log in to the ZAN Node Service Console and click on Dedicated Node on the left navigation bar.

  2. On the RPC Node tab，click Create Now at the top right of the Dedicated Node page.

  3. Obtain your AKP Key in the pop-up window.

  4. Bind node.
    Click bind node, to associate the API Key with your dedicated node or QPS-billed shared node.

    Once the binding is completed, you can use the API to transact on the target blockchain where the API Key is bound, as well as to query on-chain information.
