What counts as Solana infrastructure?
Infrastructure is everything your app depends on that is not your own program or frontend: the RPC endpoints your users and backend call, the nodes and validators behind them, the services that index and query on-chain data, and the DevOps work that keeps all of it running.
What to check before you pick a provider
- Reliability and redundancy: ask how the provider handles outages and whether you can fail over to a second endpoint.
- Limits and pricing model: understand rate limits, how requests are counted and what happens when you exceed your plan.
- Data you need: check that the provider supports the methods, history and indexing your product relies on.
- Support: know who you reach during an incident and how quickly they answer.
- Verification status: providers marked "Verified" on Orivions have passed our checks, though you should test an endpoint under your own load before you commit.
Plan for a launch spike
Launches and mints bring sudden traffic. Agree limits and a scaling path with your provider before launch day, load-test your own app, and keep a backup endpoint ready. Run through the Solana pre-launch security checklist.

Frequently asked questions
What is an RPC provider on Solana?
An RPC provider runs Solana nodes and exposes endpoints your wallet, frontend and backend call to read data and send transactions. Teams use a provider instead of running their own nodes to save operations work.
Should I use more than one RPC provider?
For anything that handles user funds or a launch, a second endpoint you can fail over to is a sensible precaution, because a single provider outage then does not take your app down.
How do I choose between providers?
Check reliability and failover, rate limits and how requests are counted, support for the methods and history you need, and who answers during an incident. Then load-test with your own traffic before you commit.
