RPC PROVIDERS — JOIN THE CONSENSUS You may be reading this because "rpc_join" was in the response from getblock.solana.christmas. That response was generated by a consensus of RPC providers. If you operate a Solana RPC endpoint, you can join. WHAT IS SOLANA.CHRISTMAS A block cache that queries "every" RPC provider in parallel, hashes transactions data, and serves the agreed-upon result. The response carries the "sc" field showing which providers participated, the hash of what they returned, and the latency of each provider getBlock. Every response is a billboard for the providers that made it possible. Every developer who reads a block sees your RPC. WHY JOIN - Free to list. No extra cost beyond your donated RPC quota. - Your endpoint is listed in every response you contribute to. - Developers, explorers, and dApps see your RPC on every block. - You become part of the edge consensus layer. Not a proxy. A voter. - If your RPC is not in the cache, it's losing good free credibility. WHAT YOU NEED - To run a Solana RPC endpoint provider on Mainnet. - To offer a monthly quota that covers the blocks produced (~500K). - For better visibility, you may offer a quota that covers the full bigtable (500M+). HOW TO JOIN Send the endpoint URL to the address below. It will be added to the providers list to be included in consensus. rpc_join@solana.christmas Subject: RPC JOIN Include: - Your endpoint URL - Your provider name (as you want it shown in responses) - If you are offering quota on a paid rpc, or if it is free. You may receive a confirmation when your endpoint is live. https://getblock.solana.christmas/
