RPC Nodes rate-limiting changes

To improve the reliability and throughput of the RPC product, rate-limiting now works differently.

Rate limits are now enforced in Compute Units per second (CU/s). The documentation has been updated to reflect these changes. Read more here


Summary

Launched a new chain for RPC Nodes and quality of life and performance improvements to the app.

What’s new

Added support for Tempo Testnet

Added support for Tempo Testnet to the RPC Nodes offering. Get an API key and start building on Tempo.

Quality of life improvements

  • Added quick actions from chain overview to quickly navigate to Access controls, custom domains, and to delete the deployment

Performance improvements

  • Updated the app framework to increase speed of navigation
  • Updated the data visualization library for better graphs and visualization

Introducing the Conduit Changelog

We’re kicking off changelogs and release notes along with our brand new documentation site!

New Features

  • New Network Access Control List configuration for RPC keys

Restricting an API key to specific networks is now significantly easier. Logic for restrictions has been consolidated into the Access Controls tab, and active networks are now configured through a slide-over sidebar.

  • New Endpoints pages on Nodes

Seeing a quick overview of usage and RPC URLs across all Conduit-supported chains is now easier. The Endpoints page lists all networks in a compact way, with their RPC URL and the selected API key appended for easy copying. Switch between WebSocket and HTTP endpoints at the top of the list.

  • ACLs for Public RPC for your chain

Restrict access to a chain’s RPC. This update enables restricting the public RPC to only allowed API keys (e.g., giving early access to beta testers), as well as restricting which addresses are allowed to deploy smart contracts on the chain.

Visit our Conduit Nodes page or the docs page for more info.

Updates/Enhancements

  • Improved latency metrics for RPC performance

P95 and P99 measurements have been added on top of the average to the Response time graph. This provides an even better view of performance across RPC usage.

Upgrades

  • Fusaka Ready

We upgraded all testnets on the Conduit platform as part of our preparation for Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade.
