Edge RPC - Goldsky Docs

Edge RPC provides reliable, high-performance RPC access with low latency via multi-region CDN, intelligent caching, automatic failover, and built-in observability—optimized for both indexing backends and frontend applications. Edge RPC is built on top of eRPC, an open source RPC proxy that’s been hardened by real-world usage and built by people like you.

Key features

Fastest responses — Global edge infrastructure across 8+ regions delivers sub-100ms latency
Maximum resiliency — Automatic failover across multiple providers ensures 99.9% uptime
Data integrity — Cross-validation prevents stale or incorrect data from reaching your app
Optimized for indexing — Archive access and batch requests tuned for high-throughput indexers
Boosted for frontend — Smart caching and request deduplication for responsive user experiences
Simple pricing — $5 per million requests, all methods priced equally

Transport and subscriptions

Edge RPC is served over HTTPS only — there is no WebSocket (wss://) endpoint, and eth_subscribe / eth_unsubscribe are not supported. To watch chain state, use HTTP polling with the filter methods:

eth_newBlockFilter — new blocks
eth_newFilter — logs matching an address/topic filter
eth_newPendingTransactionFilter — pending transactions
eth_getFilterChanges — poll for new results since the last call

If you need push-style streaming of blockchain data instead of RPC polling, use Turbo Pipelines or Mirror to stream events, logs, and transactions directly into your database or message queue.
