Backup RPC
that
keeps you online.
Add RockX as your independent backup RPC to keep critical operations running when your primary endpoint degrades or fails.
Downtime isn't a tech issue.
It's a business one.
Offline means lost revenue
Can't reach the chain? Orders don't fill and withdrawals stall. One bad hour can cost more than a year of backup.
Users don't wait. They leave.
Competitors are one click away. Clients you lose in an outage rarely come back.
You owe clients uptime
Your SLAs are only as strong as one provider's worst day. A backup helps you keep them.
Trust is hard to win, easy to lose
One public outage can undo years of credibility with your counterparties.
Regulators expect a plan
Custodians and exchanges need documented failover. Backup RPC is a clean answer.
Outages hit at the worst time
Providers fail when the network is busiest, right when settlements can't wait.
Cold, warm, or hot.
Pick your temperature.
Standby is just how ready your second provider is to step in. The warmer it runs, the more ready it is.
Cold Standby
RockX is set up and ready but sits idle. If your primary has a bad day, you point traffic to us.
Keep RockX as a documented fallback you switch on when you need it.
Internal tools, dashboards, and read-heavy workloads where a quick manual switch is fine.
Warm Standby
RockX runs alongside your primary as a healthy second endpoint, ready to take traffic whenever you need it.
Wire RockX into your RPC router or client fallback so it can pick up on its own.
A practical default for production apps, wallets, and APIs that want a safety net.
Hot Standby
RockX serves traffic in parallel with your primary behind a load balancer, so neither one is a single point of failure.
Split or mirror requests across both providers so load is shared and either can carry it alone.
Best when uninterrupted access matters most and you want no single dependency.

Pay for insurance
the way that fits.
Start with a prepaid balance and pay only when you use it, or subscribe to a standard monthly RPC plan.
Prepaid balance
Deposit up front, then draw down only when RockX serves traffic. An idle backup costs you next to nothing.
- No monthly commitment, deposit and go
- Pay-as-you-go, billed only for what RockX serves
- ~$0 cost while your primary stays healthy
- Per-request pricing: one call, one unit
Monthly subscription
Order a standard RockX RPC plan with a monthly request allowance and run it as your backup.
- Fixed monthly fee, predictable budgeting
- A set request allowance (e.g. 5M requests / day)
- Extra usage billed at a per-request rate
- Shared or dedicated nodes, we'll spec the right fit
Frequently asked
questions.
How do I add RockX as a backup to my existing provider?
You add RockX as a secondary endpoint in your own load balancer, RPC router, or a client library that supports fallbacks. Your primary keeps serving normal traffic, and your setup sends requests to RockX whenever the primary is unhealthy. The failover logic stays on your side, so you keep full control. On a monthly subscription, our team can help you get set up.
Why run a second provider instead of relying on my primary alone?
A single provider is a single point of failure. RockX runs on its own infrastructure, separate from your primary, so an incident on their side does not take your backup down with it. That independence is the whole point of keeping a second RPC.
Should I run RockX cold, warm, or hot?
It depends on how ready you want the backup to be. Cold keeps RockX as a documented fallback you switch to manually. Warm runs RockX alongside your primary so your router can fall back to it on its own. Hot splits traffic across both providers so either can carry the load. Most teams start warm.
If my primary stays healthy, do I still pay?
On the prepaid balance, you only draw down when RockX actually serves traffic, so a backup that mostly sits idle costs close to nothing. A monthly subscription is a standard RPC plan with a set request allowance billed as a fixed fee, with any extra usage charged per request.
Which chains and node types does the backup cover?
The same networks as RockX AccessNode. EVM chains expose the full Ethereum JSON-RPC API, and non-EVM chains expose their native APIs. You can run on shared or dedicated nodes. Contact us and we will spec the right fit for your workload.
