# Why Edge RPC

> Fast, resilient, and accurate blockchain data

## Fastest responses from 8+ edge regions

* Multi-region elastic cloud infrastructure serves requests from the closest location
* Tip-of-the-chain CDN stores and serves recent blockchain data to you faster
* Hedging mechanisms send parallel requests to multiple nodes for faster response times

## Maximum resiliency and failover

* Automatic failover ensures uptime even during provider outages
* Internal scoring mechanisms prioritize most reliable nodes historically
* Multiplexing auto-merges identical requests to reduce redundant RPC calls

## Automated data quality checks

* Cross-validate responses from multiple RPC nodes for accuracy
* Integrity mechanisms track block heights across all providers
* Enforce consensus checks to prevent stale/incorrect/partial data
* No more partial or missing `eth_getLogs` results in your indexer

## Optimized for indexing

* **Auto-split large `eth_getLogs` requests** — automatically breaks down large block ranges to avoid provider limits
* **Archive node routing** — requests for historical data automatically routed to archive nodes
* **Block range enforcement** — integrity checks ensure complete data without gaps

## Boosted for frontend

* **Sub-50ms latency** — edge locations serve requests from the nearest region
* **Request deduplication** — multiple users requesting the same data share a single upstream call
* **Graceful degradation** — automatic retries and failover keep your dApp online
* **Real-time data** — tip-of-chain caching serves latest blocks with minimal delay

## Simple pricing

* **\$5 per million requests** — straightforward, predictable costs
* **All methods priced equally** — no surprise charges for `eth_getLogs` or trace methods
* **Volume discounts** — tiered pricing for usage over 500M requests/month
