RPC Plane sits in front of the Solana providers you already pay for and makes them reliable together — routing, failover, and slot-aware health scoring with your keys, on your machine. Here's what that looks like for the four teams that lean on it hardest.
At ~400ms slot times, an RPC blip during a volatile minute is real PnL. A stale getAccountInfo misprices a trade; a sendTransaction that returns OK but never reaches a leader is a fill you didn't get. Single-provider setups have no recourse when it happens.
The balance APIs, transaction-history services, and notification workers behind your wallet or dApp all read from Solana RPC. When your primary provider degrades, it isn't one screen that breaks — it's every user at once, a support queue that floods, and trust that erodes on public timelines.
RPC Plane proxies HTTP JSON-RPC today. WebSocket subscriptions (accountSubscribe, logsSubscribe) are on the roadmap — until then, notification workers can subscribe to a provider directly while their reads and writes route through the plane.
A provider that lags 20,000 blocks behind tip, or silently returns incomplete historical data, quietly corrupts everything downstream — and the query still returned HTTP 200. Backfills and streaming ingest need correctness, not just uptime, and per-call billing on getTransaction and getBlock adds up fast.
Provider contracts, rate limits, and outages all land on your desk. Rolling your own retry-and-failover script means a stale-data detector, slot tracking, circuit breakers, and metrics you have to maintain forever. RPC Plane is that layer, already built and shipped as one binary.
Helius, QuickNode, Triton, Alchemy, Chainstack, the public mainnet endpoint, and your own validators. You bring the keys; RPC Plane makes them reliable together. No matter the workload above, the integration is the same one URL change.
