Boosting RPC Reliability

NEAR Protocol powers chain abstraction and decentralized AI for billions of users.

Centralized RPC nodes often fail during high loads, causing delays and lost trust.

Developers struggle with inconsistent access, while users face slow transactions.

As a writer, I highlight this gap to guide the Infrastructure Committee. This feedback draws from community data and technical insights. It proposes solutions to enhance scalability and adoption.

By decentralizing RPCs, NEAR can deliver seamless experiences and lead blockchain innovation.

Supporting Evidence

Logs from NEAR's GitHub highlight RPC downtime issues.

Community posts on 𝕏 report transaction delays.

Reddit discussions note failures in Omnibridge dApps.

Solana achieves <1% downtime and <2-second latency.

Polygon hits 2% downtime with 3-second latency.

NEAR's centralized setup trails these metrics. Chain abstraction docs flag RPC as a key bottleneck.

Practical fixes can close this gap quickly.

How This Blocks My Progress

I build documentation portals for dApp onboarding.

RPC issues block real-time testing of features. My project delays by three months.

Developers miss guides on chain abstraction.

Users lack clear resources for adoption. NEAR's growth opportunities fade.

Token Season momentum suffers without solid infrastructure.

Action now prevents wider ecosystem harm.

Deploy a decentralized RPC network via Lava Protocol. This cuts downtime below 1%.

Use Rust for node tweaks. Need four developers and $75,000 over six months.

Enhance Chain Signatures for better routing. Add AI load balancing for dApps.

These steps boost speed and trust. Focus on user benefits like faster transactions. Align with NEAR's AI roadmap for seamless coordination.

Strong teams already exist to implement these ideas.

Teams/Contributors That Could Help

FastNEAR excels in RPC speed via Redis backends. Their GitHub repo shows ongoing optimizations.

Vlad Frolov contributes to NEAR DevHub on infrastructure.

Aurora handles cross-chain tools well.

These experts ensure quick, community-led rollout. Benefits include reliable access for all users.

As a writer, I can craft guides for easy adoption. This issue hits my work directly as well.
